Crowdfund Staffordshire is launched – sign up now for free advice sessions
Sports organisations across Staffordshire are being encouraged to use a new fundraising platform and get their great idea off the ground.
Any organisation, charity, social enterprise, sports club, community group, individual or even businesses can now use ‘Crowdfund Staffordshire’ to unlock the fundraising potential of online donations.
Crowdfunder has already helped raise over £30m for good causes and is the biggest fundraising platform in the UK.
Now Crowdfund Staffordshire provides a shop window for what’s happening in Staffordshire, and provides groups with an additional tool to help them raise money for equipment, programmes or projects that benefit local individuals and communities.
It offers the potential to tap into donations from new sources such as individuals and companies, who may be passionate about the cause and keen to make a positive, tangible difference in the community.

The county council will also be launching the ‘Children and Families Fund’ in November. The £50,000 fund is designed to support eligible organisations or individuals with the money they need to help improve the independence and wellbeing of vulnerable families, and avoid the problems that might mean they rely on social care and health services in the future. Up to £5,000 is available for projects that also gain the support of local communities. Voluntary organisations are being encouraged to get in touch with the council now to register their interest and secure the best support possible.
