ECB’s Spacehive Fundraising Opportunity, which has been extended to all clubs allowing them to run a crowdfunding campaign during the COVID-19 crisis, closes tomorrow, 14th May.
The initiative, previously only available to Dynamos Cricket clubs, is now available to all clubs and will be providing all clubs who raise £100 towards supporting with COVID-19 activities with a further £100.
The Spacehive Initiative is running two phases of crowdfunding and the deadline for the first is this Thursday 14th May.
The Opportunity:
- Create a crowdfunding campaign on Spacehive to support your club during the COVID-19 crisis (if clubs still wish to raise for future Dynamos projects as originally anticipated that offer is still available)
- ECB will help get your campaign off to a flying start by pledging £100 as soon as your campaign goes live
- Raise at least £100 more to lock in the ECB pledge
How it works:
- Sign up to the Spacehive platform here.
- Set up your crowdfunding page by Thursday 14th May. The Spacehive team will be on hand to guide you through this process.
- The ECB pledge will appear as soon as your campaign is live.
- Run your crowdfunding campaign throughout May and June.
- Receive the money you raise in your bank by end of June.
Clubs already using Spacehive:
You can either continue with your existing campaign and ring fence the funds for the Dynmaos Cricket programme when it happens, or you can start a new campaign around supporting the club during the COVID-19 crisis. The ECB can only pledge £100 to your centre once, either to the Dynamos Cricket campaign or the COVID-19 campaign.
