Spacehive is a crowdfunding platform that combine funds from across society to get grassroots projects funded fast. Set up a project page, start crowdfunding, hit your target and deliver your project!
Spacehive is the only dedicated crowdfunding platform designed solely for projects that help your local area. The following three steps explain how Spacehive works:
1. Create
Anyone can create a project on Spacehive provided that it is eligible. Use your project page to talk about your idea, why it's great, and what you intend to spend the money on.
2. Crowdfund
When you're ready you can start your crowdfunding campaign. This means asking people to pledge money to your campaign, with the assurance that if the campaign is unsuccessful they will be refunded. The more you promote your project, the more backing it will get.
Alongside individual backers you can also get support from local businesses and even grant funders. Through our grant maker app we are able to automatically match projects to Funds, which can then pledge directly to the crowdfunding campaign. Below is an illustration of what a typical campaign might look like, with small pledges at the start and then larger backers joining in later on.
3. Deliver
Get the funds in approximately three weeks following hitting your target.
