Crowdfunder UK reported projects that crowdfund on the platform may seek additional funding opportunities ranging from £500-£10,000 per project depending on eligibility. Jason Nuttall, head of funding at Crowdfunder UK, commented:

“At Crowdfunder we believe in not only enabling people to make their great ideas a reality – but ensuring that they have access to as much support as possible along their journey. By distributing funding from partners into crowdfunding projects that have the support of the crowd, partners are not only supporting great ideas, but putting funding into projects that have also been validated by the crowd. The benefits to all are enormous, bringing fund distribution to a new level.”

Phil Geraghty, MD of Crowdfunder added:

Phil Geraghty“Council’s, brands and grant makers are enjoying some valuable benefits: they are able to easily identify projects they want to support with pledges. Partners such as Plymouth City Council have been able to amplify the money they distributed, with money raised for projects from the crowd, and also reduce administrative costs. Brands are also able to connect with consumers individually, and create great stories, as they help turn ideas into reality. All partners benefit from greater exposure to large-scale audiences and public engagement alongside positive success stories.”
