**The Funding Network is running its first hybrid live crowdfunding event on 13 
June, offering three charities the chance to raise £10,000 each.**

The [Funding Network](https://thefundingnetwork.org.uk/)’s first in-person event
since January 2020, it will bring three not-for-profits together with an audience
of people keen to bring about social change.

Described as similar to ‘a TED talk meets friendly Dragon’s Den’, the not-for-profits
will have six minutes to tell guests about their work and the difference it is making.
After pitching, there will be a rapid live crowdfunding session, with the aim of
raising £10,000 for each of them.
