Crowdfunding

Crowdfunding has been around since 1885 and in 2022 RGB&I teamed up with Crowdfunder to give Rotary Clubs an opportunity to partake in this tried and tested form of fundraising.


Is your Club thinking about how it could raise funds from other activities that previously might have come from functions, outdoor events etc?

Maybe Crowdfunding is your answer.

RGB&I have teamed up with Crowdfunder, the UK's No 1 Crowdfunding platform and explore projects that have raised over £300 million from the crowd.

Have a look at www.crowdfunder.co.uk, check out matched funding available and discuss your next fundraiser.

Crowdfunder is unique in that it allows the fundraiser to offer rewards for donors.

At Crowdfunder, we're on a mission to spread positivity across the globe. United for good, our team is dedicated to turning innovative community ideas into meaningful realities, going beyond the confines of traditional fundraising. 

 We're a unique force in crowdfunding, driven by a desire to think creatively and address societal challenges through community-driven change and engagement.

Remember you need a good project; something that your crowd can relate to. 

You need a passion to help the charity or cause you wish to receive money for.

Also, key is a team to help you.

As at January 2021, Clubs in District 1240 have raised over £100,000 in less than 2 years.

Want to try it in your club, we can help.

In 2022, RGBI teamed up with Crowdfunder, a UK-based platform with a variety of fundraising options.
