We want every project you see on ActionFunder to be active, accurate, and ready to receive funding. Here’s how we keep listings fresh – and what to do if something doesn’t look right.
How we keep projects current
We’ve introduced automatic drafting for projects that haven’t been updated in 12 months. If a non-profit hasn’t edited or updated their project within that time, it’s automatically moved back into draft and removed from the platform.
Non-profits are notified two weeks before this happens, giving them the chance to review and republish if they’re still seeking funding. That means projects you see on ActionFunder are far more likely to reflect current, active work.
Why you might still see an older project
Auto-drafting keeps the platform fresh, but there are a couple of reasons a project might still appear with an earlier start date:
- The project is ongoing – the non-profit may have updated their listing within the last year, even if the original start date has passed
- Funding hasn’t come through yet – some projects are written with a specific fund in mind; if that funding didn’t materialise, they’ll remain live while the organisation continues to seek support
What to do if something doesn’t look right
If you come across a project that still seems unclear or out of date:
- Check the non-profit’s profile page and reach out to them directly
- Contact us at customersuccess@actionfunder.org and we’ll look into it for you
We’re always here to help make sure you’re funding projects that are active, aligned, and ready to make an impact.
