Yes! There is no limit to how much you can crowdfund on Spacehive. If you present the project well on its crowdfunding page, sell the benefits and have a clear plan to deliver it, then like many before you (examples below), you can raise lots of money on Spacehive. The main ingredients of a large campaign are:
Create a compelling project page
The project page is essential to your campaign and it's crucial to make a lasting impression on potential backers. Make sure your project page is visually appealing and clearly conveys your project's purpose, impact, and goals. Capture public interest by adding vibrant images and a compelling video to your project page. People are more likely to back a project which conveys a story.
Spacehive partners with organisations that want to support community projects with exclusive funds available to support local ideas. These funds might come from companies, councils and foundations. You are matched to funds depending on certain criteria, such as location, and project type. You can access these funds by submitting short 'pitches'.
It's important to identify your target audience, including local supporters, businesses, and potential funders. You will need to spread the word about your project on social media platforms, local news, community groups, and other relevant channels. You can engage your community by hosting events, sharing updates, and try to motivate them to share your campaign with others to increase your fundraising potential.
