We look after more than £5m of extra funding from our partners; a mix of public and private sector organisations, charities and funding bodies.
We put this extra funding directly into your projects.
In short, it means that you could get an extra £20,000 for your project - on top of the money raised from the crowd.
It’s simple! You add your project on Crowdfunder and our clever matchmaker will ensure that your project is shown to our panel of extra funders. We’ll take it from there.
So, what are you waiting for?
Start a new project on Crowdfunder, tell us the basics and a rough outline of your story. Then, we can show you funds that you may be eligible for.
You can then choose to make an application for a relevant fund. If a partner likes your project, they may agree to support it.
Start raising money from the crowd and once you reach an agreed percentage of your target, one of our partners could boost your total with a large donation.
