Extend your deadline to close at a later date
If your project has been running for a minimum of 10 days then you can extend your project deadline from the 'Manage' tab of your project dashboard.
Please note: If you have a personal fundraiser project, this tab will not appear. Please request a deadline extension by filling in our contact form: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/contact-us
You will be able to extend your project duration for up to a maximum of 12 weeks from the start date of your project - just select your new closing date and time. We would strongly advise you contacting supporters to inform them of the extension, letting them know of any impact of reward delivery dates.
If you have reached the maximum of 84 days for running a project on Crowdfunder, then you can request a closing date extension from our Customer Support Team under special circumstances. We deal with these on a case-by-case basis and would only offer a further extension if it was deemed appropriate, so please let us know the reasons for your request.
Switch to Always on and keep raising funds forever
Alternatively, you can allow your project to close and switch to Always on. This is usually the best option if you wish to keep taking donations for an extended period of time.
The Always on function enables Crowdfunder projects to continue raising funds once their project has closed successfully. The green icon shown below signifies that a project is Always on.
What are the benefits of Always on?
Keep raising funds forever
Continue telling your story and build on your project's success
Reach new audiences and receive ongoing exposure on Crowdfunder
How can I switch to Always on?
You can enable Always on when creating or editing your project using the toggle shown below on the 'Schedule' tab. It will then switch to Always on automatically once your project closes successfully on your scheduled close date.
PLEASE NOTE: Donations will be subject to the same fees and you will no longer be able to offer rewards.
