This study focuses on citizen participation in the process of co-financing public services. We try to understand why and how crowdfunding is mobilized in municipalities by studying four projects. Our results show that municipalities use crowdfunding to secure funding for projects and to test the support of citizens for these projects. To encourage participation, projects must be meaningful and municipalities must make communication efforts. Finally, municipalities must offer support to people who do not know how to use the Internet to enable all citizens to contribute.
