27 Jan - 3 Feb
Competition open
If you're a social enterprise or co-operative in Belfast which has received support through the council's Go Social programme, Crowdfunder wants to hear from you.
Your social enterprise or co-operative may want to tackle waste, help the homeless, address mental health or put the life back in to local communities. You may have a great idea for a new product, service or experience that you want to take to the next level. Whatever the situation, we want to help you make it happen.
Not only will the ten winners receive a £5,000 pledge towards their Crowdfunder campaign, our expert coaches will be on hand, ready to share their crowdfunding expertise and know-how to help bring the winning ideas to life.
The competition opens for entries on Monday 27th January at 9:00 am with entries closing on Monday 3rd February at midday. The winners will be announced on Friday 7th February.
This competition is now closed. Please check back soon for live crowdfunding!
