Our system will match you to funding opportunities based on the information you add to the Basics section when creating your project, such as:

📝 Please note personal projects, charity fundraisers and prize draws are not eligible for +Extra funding. If you do not have an Extra funding section as shown above you may not be on an eligible project type and therefore need to select 'Crowdfund with donations or rewards' when starting your project to apply.

If your project isn't live yet, you'll see an +Extra funding pop-up at the bottom of your screen in the Project Page section of your dashboard. Click 'Find out more' to see which funds you can apply for.

This information is also available in the final stage of your project creation process - click 'Find out more' under the +Extra funding information on the right-hand side of the page to see which funding opportunities are available for you.

After setting your project live you will gain access to your project dashboard.

Go to the +Extra funding tab on the left to view the funding partners matched with your project.

Here you can click on 'Apply for funding 'to be taken directly to the application form for your chosen fund.

Charity profile pages are unfortunately not eligible to apply for +Extra funding support directly. However, you can create a new project linked to your charity profile page. With this project, you will be able to apply for our +Extra funding opportunities, provided it aligns with our funding partners.

To create a project from your charity profile, click on 'My charity' in the top right-hand corner of the Crowdfunder page.

Here you will be able to create a new project page by clicking '+ New project'.

You can create a project that matches with +Extra funding as described above.

**IMPORTANT** Before you apply, please click on the "show full criteria" link available on each application form. It is essential to verify whether your project is eligible for the fund you have chosen. The Crowdfunder platform showcases funds that projects similar to yours have received; however, there may be specific eligibility criteria that your project does not meet.

Once you have applied, ensure your Crowdfunder target includes the amount you expect to receive from your chosen partner fund, as funding from our partners counts towards your target.

If your application is successful, the funding partner will be in touch to let you know what's required to release the funds. Find our current funding opportunities here.
