Welcome to InvestMyCommunity, the UK’s dedicated fundraising platform for all community organisations. We enable sport clubs 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.
Any sports club can collect donations to fund a project for new equipment or facilities to attract and retain players, members, staff and even fans. For larger infrastructure projects InvestMyCommunity can even help eligible organisations to raise funds by way of peer-to-peer loan from their community and beyond - in fact, almost anyone.

Does your sports club or association have plans to develop new facilities, or have a wishlist of equipment it aspires to provide? Would a new 3G pitch or a modern sports pavilion make a significant improvement to your club and its community – be they members, players, support staff or supporters? You need the best to be competitive – and retain and attract new members to your whole community.
Why is InvestMyCommunity different to other fundraising platforms?
InvestMyCommunity enables any sports club to raise funds from its community – and beyond – by running a donation campaign. You can choose to crowdfund a specific project or run a regular giving campaign to generate an incremental source of revenue for ongoing investment.
And 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.
A crowdfunding campaign can complement grant applications, and in fact, may improve the chance of a successful allocation as it demonstrates that all fundraising options are being utilised.
Donation Campaigns
Running a donation fundraising campaign through InvestMyCommunity for your sports club is easy. Simply choose whether to crowdfund a project or launch a Regular Giving campaign to collect one- off and monthly donations.
Each campaign benefits from a dedicated campaign page where you can tell everyone what you are raising money for. All donations are made through our secure portal, and 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. There is no cash to collect and keep safe, and no standing orders or direct debits to set up or manage. 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 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, 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.
