Introducing Crowdfund Crawley

Crowdfund Crawley gives local people an online platform to raise funds for community projects and make a difference to their town. The platform will also enable organisations to raise awareness and support for their projects, whilst giving them the opportunity to unlock grants and other third party funds.

 

We will be holding an event to provide people with more information regarding Crowdfund Crawley, which will take place at Crawley College on the 20th June from 17.30 to 19.30.

 

That evening there will be an opportunity to:

 

·        Learn about the program and how you can get involved;

·        Hear about the funds accessible to support projects;

·        Hear from the people who have run successful Crowdfund campaigns in other areas.

 

The event starts at 17.30 with a presentation and an opportunity to hear from the people who have run successful campaigns in other areas.
