Top fundraising and crowdfunding platform, Crowdfunder UK are proud to announce the official launch of the Crowdfunder Foundation. The Foundation is aimed at helping philanthropists, high-net-worth individuals, and trusts and foundations maximise their charitable contributions through the innovative use of crowdfunding.
By harnessing the collective power of community fundraising, the foundation amplifies donations, enabling charities across the UK to create a more significant impact on the communities they serve.
The Crowdfunder Foundation supports community-driven projects through matched crowdfunding, focusing on social, environmental, and community initiatives. Their mission is to help turn ideas into reality by partnering with philanthropists, trusts, and foundations to create positive change.
The foundation is dedicated to supporting local initiatives that tackle critical social and environmental issues, such as poverty alleviation, nature recovery and regeneration, and supporting the growth of social enterprises. With a focus on real change, it will facilitate crowdfunding efforts that empower local projects, ensuring that every contribution can make a meaningful difference.
“By leveraging the power of crowdfunding, we are not only maximising the impact of individual donations but also fostering a sense of community involvement and support,” said Jason Nuttall, Head of Crowdfunder Foundation. “We believe that together, we can create a brighter future by addressing pressing issues in our society.”
In addition to assisting individual donors, the Crowdfunder Foundation invites trusts and foundations to amplify their impact by utilising their funding to support a broader range of organisations. This collaborative approach enables the delivery of vital services and drives meaningful change across diverse communities.
“The Crowdfunder Foundation isn’t just about funding projects, it’s about empowering people. It’s about giving everyone the opportunity to bring their ideas to life, to build communities, and to make a real difference in the world. This is about democratising finance and unlocking the potential of the crowd.” – Dawn Bebe, Co-CEO, Crowdfunder.
Simon Deverell, Co-CEO added: “Our audience is telling us, more and more, that they want to support common causes, whether that’s mental health, the cost of living, domestic violence or nature recovery. Our foundation will give not only those with much deeper pockets an easy ability to support causes at scale, it will help local and community organisations raise more from their crowds through matched funding”
The Crowdfunder Foundation is committed to transparency and accountability, ensuring that every donation is effectively utilised to support transformative initiatives.
