Charity crowdfunding FAQs

How do I set up a charity fundraising page?

It’s really easy to create your charity crowdfunding profile with Crowdfunder:

  • Add your charity to Crowdfunder. Search for your charity’s name to see if you already have a listing. If you don’t, enter your charity’s name and registration number
  • Tell your story - add photos and videos to your profile to let people know why you’re fundraising
  • Apply for match funding grants to boost your fundraising
  • Offer rewards or set up a prize draw to give back to your crowd
  • Once submitted, it can take up to 2 working days (unless we need to request additional information via email) to verify your charity crowdfunding page, as we will need to see verification documentation and validate you as a registered charity.
How does charity crowdfunding work?

Crowdfunding for charities is easy; simply create your profile and let your supporters fund your cause. Crowdfunding lets you take your charity fundraising efforts outside of your local area and beyond your usual audience. It allows you to promote your campaign to more people, including strangers, as well as corporate and public sector organisations.

What are the benefits of crowdfunding for charity fundraisers?

The benefits of crowdfunding for charities include:

  • Raise more money for your cause
  • Boost awareness of your charity fundraisers
  • No platform fees when you choose Crowdfunder
  • Create and nurture an engaged supporter community
  • Give back to your crowd to thank them for their support
Is my charity eligible for a match funding grant?

Charities can apply for match funding grants via our +Extra funding. We have a range of national and regional corporate, public sector and local authority partners across the UK, all offering different pledges to support your charity fundraising. Check the individual criteria of each match fund to see if your charity is eligible to apply.

How will the money I crowdfund for my charity be paid out?

The money raised for your charity will be paid out regularly to your nominated charity bank account.
