For non-profits, it\u2019s a simple, fast, and accessible way to secure funding for vital projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Create a project<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once signed up to ActionFunder, non-profits can publish live projects seeking funding. A project can be anything from running a youth club, buying sports equipment, or delivering climate action workshops \u2014 as long as it\u2019s community-focused, it can be added to the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Get matched with funds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a funder launches a fund with specific criteria (such as location, focus areas, or beneficiary groups), ActionFunder automatically matches it with relevant live projects. non-profits will be notified by email if one of their projects is matched. If a non-profit doesn\u2019t have a suitable project live at the time but meets the fund criteria, they can easily upload a new project to be considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Receive funding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If a funder selects a project for funding, non-profits are notified and asked to confirm that they\u2019re able to deliver the project. After due diligence checks are completed, the funding is transferred directly to the organisation, usually within 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Sharing their impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the project is underway or complete, non-profits are asked to share two updates and a short impact survey. This helps funders see the difference their support has made &#8211; and helps non-profits build relationships for future funding opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Still have questions?
