About Crowdfunder

They are all shining a spotlight on the vital role that clubs play in our communities. The business of football is unique and the continued uncertainty around its possible resumption hasn’t helped with financial and marketing planning.

Club officials are working tirelessly behind the scenes to keep clubs afloat. But the comeback is on, spearheaded by the fans and Crowdfunder has played an important part of that. We have working partnerships with leagues and local FAs to support footballing communities, raising millions for their clubs.

And we have £1 million in extra funding from Sport England to pledge up to £10,000 on grassroots campaigns during the pandemic.
