The Cornwall Community Foundation has partnered with crowdfunding platform Crowdfunder.
co.uk to offer £50,000 worth of matched funding for selected community based projects
in Cornwall.

[Crowdfunder.co.uk](http://crowdfunder.co.uk/) will work with a number of Cornish
community projects to help them reach their crowdfunding targets. These sums will
then be match funded by The Cornwall Community Foundation provided the project fits
their guidelines.

Earlier this year Crowdfunder.co.uk has already launched Crowdfund Cornwall this
year, its first regional funding initiative to fund local ideas, charity and community
projects and environmental and educational venture. It aims to raise £200,000 for
100 Cornish projects. It has already launched 21 projects and raised over £17,714.

Carolyn Boyce, Chief Executive, [Cornwall Community Foundation](http://www.cornwallfoundation.com/),
said: "We are delighted to be working in partnership with Crowdfunder on their Crowdfund
Cornwall campaign, as we have many parallel objectives and by working together we
can help more projects succeed whether they are a charity, community-led organisation
or social enterprise. It is exciting to support new ideas which also supports and
addresses the needs of local people throughout the County." 

##  How Crowdfunder works

Charities and community groups can add projects to crowdfunder.co.uk and then, over
a period of up to six weeks, raise a target amount via an organised campaign. The
platform works on an all or nothing basis: funds are only released if the pre-agreed
targets are met.
