How it works
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 project
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.
Apply for funding
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 crowdfunding
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.

Extra funding FAQs
Is my project eligible for extra funding?
You could be eligible for more money on top of what you raise from the crowd, depending on what you're doing or where you're doing it. Each fund has varying and specific criteria, so explore the different funds available further up this page to see if your project fits the bill.
Do I have to crowdfund to get extra funding?
In one simple word – Yes. Accessing extra funding through Crowdfunder is slightly different (and often easier!) than the traditional grant giving process, and there is a huge range of benefits that crowdfunding provides to take your project to the next level, such as idea validation and awareness of your project.
