The Mortgage Advice Bureau Foundation continues to offer match funding grants of up to £5,000 per project through its partnership with Crowdfunder.
Examples of projects that could be funded include:
- Health and wellbeing: Projects focused on helping communities combat health and wellbeing issues to improve their quality of life. E.g. social inclusion, sensory gardens, community gardens, mental health, sports projects, purchasing new equipment to help expand activities and encourage more people to get involved etc.
- Environment and conservation: Projects focused on making green choices for their community. E.g. community rewilding projects, community gardens, educational projects for communities to reduce their carbon footprint etc.
- The Prevention or Relief of Poverty: Projects focused on helping communities through financial hardship. E.g. community food banks, money management and budgeting skills etc.
Charities and Community Interest Companies (CICs) can apply. To access the match funding, applicants need to have a Sponsor who is a Mortgage Advice Bureau member of Staff, customer or approved business partner and a Mortgage Advice Bureau Foundation approved application.
Projects may be supported with 3:1 live match funding to the applicant’s project target, up to a maximum of £5,000.
They advise that the first step is to set up a crowdfunding campaign on Crowdfunder as a “keep what you raise” or an “all or nothing” project. Eligible projects will be supported by Mortgage Advice Bureau staff or their customers.
There are no deadlines as applications are currently considered on a rolling basis.
