But if you have an idea on how to tackle the climate emergency in Portsmouth you can still set up a project and start crowdfunding as part of #BackTheFuture.
When you hit a certain target in raising money for your idea, one of our amazing partners could match the amount raised with their own donation - effectively DOUBLING the money raised!
Check out our available funds to see if you're eligible, and get in touch if you have any questions.
How the funding works
Portsmouth City Council has a pot of £30,000 in match funding ready to be handed out. Every one of the ten successful ideas will receive £1,000 as long as they raise the funds on Crowdfunder and meet the criteria. The rest of the match funding will then be available on a first come, first served basis where the terms and conditions apply.
Milestone one
Raise £1,000 from at least 30 supporters, receive a £1,000 pledge.
Milestone two
Raise a further £1,500 from the crowd (total amount raised £3,500), receive a £1,500 pledge.
Milestone three
Raise a further £2,500 from the crowd (total amount raised £7,500), receive a £2,500 pledge.
