Nowadays, crowdfunding has become a valuable alternative source of funding for seeking external financing, and there is an impressive growing volume of money collected through crowdfunding. Despite growing practical importance, most of previous studies only analyze general motivation of crowdfunding participation, rather than using values approach, even though research suggests that values play important role in determining motivational behaviour and it is the key of motivations. The purpose of this study is to recognize the role of values in crowdfunding practice and also analyze the variations of participants’ values within different crowdfunding categories in Indonesia. The scope of this study covers a specific type of crowdfunding of donation crowdfunding, case of Kitabisa.
