To get contributions to your crowdfunder from us, you must:
- raise at least 25% of your total target
- get donations from a minimum number of supporters – this number varies depending on your target
- reach your target by a set deadline
If you achieve these goals, we will give you 50% of your total, up to £15,000. This can rise to 60% of your total if your project is either:
- targeting under-represented groups
- in a high-deprivation area, based on the Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation
