Welcome to InvestMyCommunity, the UK’s dedicated fundraising platform for all community organisations. We enable schools, churches, charities, sport clubs and local businesses to harness the power of crowdfunding from their own community and beyond.
New to crowdfunding? Crowdfunding is simply the process of asking a crowd of people to each contribute a small amount of money that in aggregate funds your project.

Community organisations and local businesses are valuable community assets supporting a stable and prosperous society. Individuals, families and communities benefit from, rely on, and support them, but they require revenue to deliver a positive social impact.
InvestMyCommunity provides the tools to help communities to organise, communicate and raise funds – to come together and work together. A fundraising campaign on InvestMyCommunity can help your organisation to secure the positive social impact that it delivers. And by engaging and deepening the support of your communities, you also receive the emotional investment enabling communities to strengthen and grow.
Why is InvestMyCommunity different to other fundraising platforms?
InvestMyCommunity enables any organisation, be it a school, a church or other place of worship, sports club, business or charity to raise funds from its community and beyond by running a donation campaign; simply choose whether to crowdfund a specific project or run a regular giving campaign to generate an incremental source of revenue for ongoing investment – or both.
Because InvestMyCommunity is authorised by the FCA for all crowdfunding activities, eligible organisations can also borrow from its community or almost anyone, by way of a “peer-to-peer” loan. A loan can work in conjunction with a donation campaign and could significantly accelerate your fundraising campaign and deliver your project, and its associated benefits, faster.
Donation Campaigns
Running a donation fundraising campaign through InvestMyCommunity for your community organisation is easy. Simply choose whether to crowdfund a project or launch a Regular Giving campaign to collect monthly donations.
Each campaign benefits from a dedicated campaign page where you can tell everyone what you are raising money for. As the donations come in from your community, you can easily keep track of your campaign’s progress.
If you crowdfund a project, then we transfer all funds directly to your bank account when your campaign is fully pledged. Regular donations are transferred to you each month. We even collect Gift Aid on your behalf which could boost the value of donations by 25%.
When you set up a donation campaign on InvestMyCommunity then every member of your community can launch their own mini-campaign and raise funds on your behalf. Donations made through their mini-campaign page are passed straight through to your organisation, so there is no cash to collect, no forms to fill in and it is 100% safe, secure and fast.
Loan Campaigns
InvestMyCommunity puts your business or sports club in complete control of your loan. You are not confined by the rigidity and expense of a bank loan. If you choose to accept loans from your crowd, then:
Please contact InvestMyCommunity to discuss your loan requirements and whether your organisation is eligible.
Premium Service
Our unique Premium Service recognises that it requires expertise and a major commitment in effort to successfully raise funds – even for seasoned fundraisers. Our professional team provides support and advice throughout your campaign. We help create the campaign content and a suite of communications across email, social media and even a press release. We then manage the delivery of those communications following a structure that is proven to maximise success. No other fundraising platform in the UK provides this support.
If your club has the resource and expertise to run its own campaign, then our Basic Service provides you with all the tools to run your campaign in-house.
Fees
Whether donations, a loan or both, it is completely free to launch your campaign. The all-inclusive marketing fee for our unique Premium Service is just 5% of funds raised, plus a 1.5% payment processing fee. Unlike other fundraising platforms there are no subscription fees and there is no charge to your community to donate. The marketing fee for our Basic Service is a competitive 3% plus the payment processing fee.
InvestMyCommunity is a great way to bring your community together to deliver your organisation’s fundraising goals and make that positive social impact. Start your campaign now.
