Crowdfund Portsmouth

Criteria

Once an eligible project has raised 25% of their fundraising target from multiple pledges, if you meet the Council’s criteria and sign up to their terms and conditions, PortsmouthCity Council may pledge 50% of the target (up to a maximum of £5,000), subject to available funds within the ward the project is located within.

You will need a crowdfunding project to apply for funding. Start or continue adding your project and, if eligible, you'll be prompted to apply.

Projects must be located within Portsmouth and help address the demands that development places on the city. Each potential project must meet the fund criteria and sign the fund terms and conditions.

• Help address the demands developments may place on the city
• Endeavour to Reduce the impacts of development;
• Play a key role in addressing/improving the need for local infrastructure;
• Play a role in managing pressures on local services by assisting/empowering community cohesion;
• Demonstrate, social or environmental benefits to the local community;

• Help and encourage a neutral carbon footprint;
• Support and encourage green infrastructure and vegetation coverage across the city.

Match funding is ward specific and as such, your project must be located and delivered within a specific ward of the city of Portsmouth (PO1-PO6).

A full 'detailed' breakdown of your project costs is required in your application, including the level of match funding looking to be secured. Please be aware that revenue expenditure such as (but not limited to) ongoing utility bills, rental costs and salaries are not eligible to be funded from the CIL Transformation Fund
