ONE THOUSAND community projects funded on ActionFunder 🙌🙌 🙌 🙌. One thousand… and already almost 85% of them have completed their work, benefiting 500,000+ people. Like, I guess, many co-founders, I write this post and I have a mixture of feelings. A huge, huge sense of pride at what the brilliant ActionFunder team has achieved so far. Massive respect for the incredible non-profits, literally changing people’s lives & neighbourhoods across the UK. And … a determination to make sure AF stands by our pledge; to make community funding quicker, easier and more action-led than ever before. Laying it bare, I also have a real sense of relief that all the collective effort, worry, drive and lack of sleep has led to something so impactful and valuable. I started ActionFunder because I totally believe in the power of people to change their neighbourhoods for the better - and also, the active role companies should play in this. We made it our mission to get the right money, at the right time, to the right people. We dared to do something new. Boy oh boy, has it been infinitely harder than I ever imagined. But, we feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have clients that believe in us, in our mission … and those who dared to try something new. A huge thanks to Lynda Thwaite, Simon Richards, Emma Hibbert, Anthony Harte, Lesley Horn, Olly Willmore, Charles Eales, James Anderson MCIPR, Ailish Christian-West, Carolina Correia, Sarah Mitton, Léyoh Goodall, Guy Battle, Ruth Duston OBE, OC and many more... The journey has started and the results speak for themselves. Join us to now fund 10,000 projects...
