How to sign up as a non-profit

Updated on November 6, 2026

Signing up to ActionFunder is free and takes a few minutes. Here’s how.

Before you start

Check whether your organisation already has an account. If a colleague has signed up before you, ask them to invite you to the team rather than creating a second account. Two accounts for the same organisation can split your projects and slow down payments. Add team members to your organisation

Step 1: Create your account

  1. Go to the ActionFunder sign-up page.
  2. Choose I’m a non-profit.
  3. Enter your organisation name, your name (as the primary contact), your email address and a password of at least 8 characters.
  4. Tick to agree to the Terms of use, Privacy Policy and Cookies Policy.
  5. Click Sign up.
