What is Crowdfund Malvern Hills?
Working with crowdfunding platform Spacehive, we have launched Crowdfund Malvern Hills which gives local people the opportunity to create and deliver projects that aim to enhance the district- with a particular focus of making it greener, healthier, and connected.
The platform is a place to connect with businesses, residents, organisations, and communities to showcase ideas for the district and to attract funds to make them a reality.
We are holding a FREE workshop at 2pm to 3pm on 5 September 2023, book your place now.
The workshop will cover the funding available, support and advice, as well as how to create a project.

What do we offer?
Along with ongoing promotional advice and support from Spacehive, Crowdfund Malvern Hills offers projects the opportunity to receive a donation from Malvern Hills District Council provided it meets the criteria of our fund, as well as having received a sufficient amount of support from the community.
Crowdfunding offers a way to raise funds rapidly by connecting people with local causes. Anyone can back a campaign with as little as £2 and can do so safely online. We provide funding across a number of rounds and the rest is made up with donations from communities, councils, local businesses and foundations.

What have we achieved so far?
In July 2020, we launched the People Make Places Fund in partnership with crowdfunding platform Spacehive to support local community projects and their ongoing response to the Covid-19 Crisis.
Since then we have worked with Spacehive to support 82 successful projects across the district who have raised a total of more than £500,000 from over 2,100 backers.
