Who is Crowdfund Guildford for?
Crowdfund Guildford is for all our residents. If you have a great idea to benefit your community, you can fundraise in the community to then get financial support from us. Schools and parish councils can now create projects with Crowdfund Guildford too.
How it works
You create a project with us through Crowdfund Guildford and the crowdfunding process is a community effort. Individuals or groups contribute small amounts of money and support to your project. We could then offer extra funding up to £5,000 as a boost or match fund your larger project up to £25,000.
