Crowdfunding is a way for clubs and organisations to raise funds by asking many people for relatively small amounts of money.
Usually, those seeking funds will set up a profile about their business, project, or venture on a crowdfunding website – which is sometimes referred to as a crowdfunding platform.
Sport England -The Movement Fund
The Movement Fund provides crowdfunding pledges, grants and support to help projects that get more people active.
It aims to help close the ‘significant activity gap’ between people based on where they live, how affluent they are, their sex, ethnic background or whether they have a disability or long-term health condition.
There is particular interest in projects providing opportunities for groups facing barriers to activity, such as:
- People living on low incomes.
- Disabled people or those with long-term health conditions.
- Older people.
- People from culturally diverse communities.
- Pregnant women and parents with very young children.
- Girls aged 5-16.
- LGBTQ+ people.
- People who are in foster care.
- People who provide care without pay.
