What is crowdfunding?

Updated over a month ago

Crowdfunding lets you raise money for your project by receiving backing from lots of different people and organisations. Whether you want to create a community garden, launch a street festival, or transform a local landmark, crowdfunding helps bring your idea to life with support from your community. It doesn't matter if it's £100 or £500,000, you can raise it on Spacehive.

Anyone can donate to your project - from local residents and businesses to councils and foundations. Donations can range from a few pounds to thousands, combining the power of community support with larger institutional funding. People donate because they want to see positive change in their area and be part of making it happen.

On Spacehive, we focus specifically on funding projects that improve local places. Our platform is designed to help you:

  • Share your idea with your community

  • Collect donations securely

  • Access additional funding from our partners

  • Turn your vision into reality

  • Demonstrate your impact

We've helped fund over 3,000 community projects and raised more than £32 million across the UK and Ireland. Nearly 9 out of 10 projects reach their fundraising goal on Spacehive - that's the highest success rate of any crowdfunding platform.
