Progress Milestone 100%!

November 14, 2019

We’ve hit our target!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far!

Reaching our $5,000 target is amazing, but we’re not done just yet. We’ve increased our funding goal to $XX. Help us get there and fund the rest of our car such as our bodywork and engine. We want to hit the ground running when NFR20 enters its manufacturing phase, so let’s carry this momentum forward!

Progress Milestone 75%

November 10, 2019

Almost there!

 

Thank you again to everyone who’s supported us this far. With those gifts, there’s not much left for us to complete our chassis. Keep supporting and sharing to help us get all the way through the finish line.

Progress Milestone 50%

November 05, 2019

That’s halfway!

 

We’ve now exceeded 50% of our target funding, allowing us to cover more than half of our frame costs! Please help us push forward and fund our manufacturing cycle ahead of competition so that we can bring the best car possible to the track.

Progress Milestone 25%

October 17, 2019

We’re already at 25% of our goal!

 

With your gifts we’re already able to purchase an engine to power us through the year. Keep helping the team so that we can add on the rest of the components that will help us succeed at competition.

 

Thank you to everyone who has already gotten us this far!

 

Share our project's page and help us keep pushing on to 100% to get out on the track.

First Day Underway!

October 17, 2019

The first day is underway!

Our fundraising campaign is now fully open and in effect.   

We’d like to thank everyone who’s already supported us. We’re already working to build up our stock with your gifts. Northwestern Formula Racing is a team of more than 60 students who every year design, build, test, and race a formula-style car. Your support through our Catalyzer crowdfunding campaign will help us get our first major purchases, such as the frame and material purchasing, underway. This early support will help our goal to make NFR20 our most competitive vehicle yet.

 

Make sure to share the link and donate. Thank you in advance for your support!
