Movement Fund: FAQs

1) Email your Acceptance Form, BACS Form, a recent bank statement and any

other additional information requested in the Award Agreement to

2) Set up your campaign page on Crowdfunder.

3) Go to the +Extra Funding section of your dashboard and apply for the Sport

England Movement fund. Select that you have a conditional award, enter your

URN and submit.

4) Read How to crowdfund for your sports club or organisation.

5) Join one of the monthly webinars or watch a replay of a previous webinar.

6) When your draft campaign page is ready, email [email protected] including your unique reference number (URN) and campaign name.

7) The Movement Fund will suggest any improvements or simply agree you’re

ready to go.

8) Begin crowdfunding!

Your campaign target is made up of your crowdfunding pledge + the money you will

raise.

For example, if the crowdfunding pledge is for £5,000, then you need to raise another

£5,000 from your supporters. You would set your campaign target to be at least

£10,000.

You will only get the funding from Sport England if you reach your campaign target.

You can set a stretch target when you draft your campaign. You must explain to your

supporters what the extra money will be used for.

When your draft campaign page is ready, email [email protected] with your

unique reference number (URN) and campaign name.

Keep your project in draft mode until you have spoken with a Sport England staff

member.

Once your crowdfunding campaign has closed successfully, meeting all the fund

requirements, you’ll be ready to receive your funding.

The crowd pledges and Sport England funding will be transferred to you in two separate transactions.

Crowdfunder will transfer the crowd pledges into your bank account within 7 working

days after the project has closed.

Sport England will transfer the Movement Fund pledge into your bank account within 28 days of your project closing.

For any queries relating to Movement Fund payments, please email [email protected] and quote your Unique Reference Number (URN) provided by Sport England on your conditional award email.
