• You must first demonstrate strong local support by getting to 25% of your crowdfunding target before being considered

Essential Criteria:

• Be local to the city and benefit people who live or work in Salford
• Reflect at least one of the Council’s ‘Great Eight’ priorities: Tackling poverty and inequality; Education and skills; Health and social care; Economic development; Housing; Transport; A transparent effective organisation and Social impact including Salford’s 10% Better Campaign outcomes

Did you know that there is other funding support available in Salford if Crowdfunding is not suitable for you. Find out more here.

Salford City Council reserves the right to not fund a project or to withdraw funding during a campaign, if it becomes apparent that any of the criteria are not being met.

From 11/11/2020 we are only counting pledges from unique backers (supporters) towards the minimum required number. Pledges sharing the same backer’s name or email address, or made using the same payment card as another pledge, will not be counted as made by a unique backer and will only be counted once. Our guidelines for project owners include this detail and can be found here.
