Bring your project to life with Crowdfund Cotswold
Have an idea that could make a difference in your community? From cinemas and cricket clubs to playgrounds and solar panels, if you have an idea for a project, Crowdfund Cotswold could help make it happen.
Cotswold District Council has launched the autumn funding round of its Crowdfund Cotswold initiative, giving communities the opportunity to turn their ideas into reality.
The deadline to apply for the current funding round is fast approaching, with applications closing on 30 September 2026.
What type of projects can Crowdfund Cotswold support?
Projects need to be local and serve a community purpose. They can be simple and creative, such as a street mural or community garden, or more ambitious, such as hosting a large community event or carrying out a feasibility study.
What’s important is that your project is tangible - people who back your campaign will want to see where their money is going. The more people your project appeals to, the greater the chance of running a successful crowdfunding campaign.
Projects must be based in the UK and can be led by any type of organisation or individual – you do not have to be a charity.
