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
What is match funding?
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!
