You may also be asked to take part in a short interview about your experience of the fund.

Branding and Recognition

There is either one internal and/or one external sign, depending on your requirements - any additional signage must be paid for by you. An order form for this signage will be emailed to you once your campaign has successfully completed. These signs must be installed no later than two weeks after work is completed on your project and/or before any official opening ceremony.
We may also wish to use your campaign details and our grant to form part of a case study that we will publish on our website to show good-practice and provide support to other organisations wishing to crowdfund as an alternative source of funding. We will discuss and agree the content with you.
