Community Investment
Empower your business to transform communities
Community Investment can take many forms, from grant giving to match funding. It provides a way for your businesses to support the causes that align with your values, and to make a positive impact on the communities you serve.
And the benefits are clear: research shows that companies that engage in community investment see increased brand loyalty, improved employee morale, and better relationships with local stakeholders.
Support causes that align with your values.

-
Grant Giving
Donate one-off or annual grants to the causes you care about. Simply review applications and allocate your funds to the projects that match your funding criteria.
-
Match Funding
Match funding provides a way for groups to leverage the funds you are donating, as well as evidence the support for the group in the community.
-
Live Match Funding
Supporters can see the impact of their donations in real time as each one triggers a release of match funding from our partner funds. This simple and effective messaging can drum up support for their campaign.
The benefits
-
Stretch funds further
As a partner we can guarantee that the crowd will amplify your funding, which may be further leveraged with other private and public partnerships. This means that the projects you want to support receive more funding and become more sustainable.
-
Increases connectivity
We help you increase awareness about your fund, with the causes that align with your values, and their supporters, as well as your people and customers.
-
Improves efficiency
Because of the nature of crowdfunding and particularly the digital platform/technology, distribution costs can be much lower than traditional channels (due to speed and automation) without compromising on security or increasing risk.
-
More measurable impact
Beyond the pure cash support, crowdfunding projects can deliver many social impact benefits, such as job creation, increased wellbeing, connectivity and inclusion, and building skills capacity in the community.
72% of UK companies believe that their business success is dependent on the community in which they operate.
What our partners say
“Crowdfunder have enabled us to deliver grant funding in a different and innovative way, amplifying the reach that our more traditional grants can't achieve. We’ve seen a number of providers run successful campaigns, generating thousands of pounds and raising awareness of the great work that they do in their local community.
