**Online community [Just Act](http://www.justact.org.uk/) has become part of [Crowdfunder](http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/),
taking over the day-to-day running of the Crowdfunder website and announcing an 
extra £50,000 of funding.**

Just Act has created the [Just Act Community Fund](http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/plus/just-act/community-fund),
which will distribute £50,000 to community projects across England and Wales. It
will award grants of up to £1,000 to crowdfunding projects that ‘are creating a 
buzz in their local area and changing lives for the better’.

The fund is for projects raising up to £10,000 that can demonstrate public support
by hitting 25% of their target. To apply to the Just Act Community Fund, projects
must be added to Crowdfunder, and extra funds must be applied for on the Just Act
page before 31^(st) August. If a project is eligible, the grant fund will be applied.
