**Environment and community charity Healthy Planet is launching a crowdfunding site
next month for UK environmental and conservation organisations. In particular it
is designed for the "less well publicised projects".**

The site, Conservation Community, will let grassroots causes and organisations promote
their projects to an international audience and enable them to donate and share 
their message. The site will charge 10% of donations handled to cover its costs.

The platform will offer a range of tools and approaches such as gamification (with
conservation 'badges' and leader boards), Google Maps, and gift vouchers to help
organisations achieve their fundraising aims.

[Healthy Planet](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/mailto:ol*************@***********et.org)
is looking for more organisations to list their projects on the site. To be eligible
they must be a UK conservation organisation or project that takes place on some 
kind of protected area, and which has "clear and measurable impacts in fostering
sustained or improved conservation in the area".
