Er mwyn i'ch ymgyrch cyllido torfol fod yn gymwys ar gyfer ernes gan Gronfa Cyllido Torfol Abertawe, mae'n rhaid i chi lansio'ch ymgyrch a'i chyflwyno i'r gronfa. Gweler yr adrannau isod am ragor o wybodaeth. 

Bydd Cyllido Torfol Abertawe yn cynnal rownd ariannu gyda dyddiad i lansio'ch ymgyrch cyllido torfol a'i chyflwyno i'r gronfa. Yn ogystal ag ernesau gan eich cymuned leol, bydd cyfle i gael ernes o hyd at £5,000/50% o darged eich ymgyrch gan y cyngor tuag at eich ymgyrch cyllido torfol. ​

I ddechrau arni, bydd angen creu eich prosiect ar Spacehive a'i ddilysu. Yna byddwch yn cyflwyno'ch syniad i'r gronfa drwy'r llwyfan Spacehive ac yn lansio'ch ymgyrch. 

I gael eich ystyried ar gyfer ernes gan y cyngor, dylech:

1. Lansio'ch ymgyrch cyllido torfol ar Spacehive erbyn dyddiad cau'r gronfa

2. Arddangos cefnogaeth leol ar gyfer eich prosiect ar ffurf cefnogwyr.

Caiff cyflwyniadau i'r gronfa eu hystyried tua 6 wythnos ar ôl dyddiad cau'r gronfa. Os ydych yn llwyddiannus, byddwch yn derbyn ernes tuag at eich ymgyrch cyllido torfol fyw. Bydd y tîm Specehive wrth law i rannu llawer o gyngor ar sut i gynnal ymgyrch cyllido torfol wych. 

 1.    RHANNU'CH SYNIAD A MYND I WEITHDY

Llenwch ein Ffurflen Syniad am Brosiect cyn gynted â phosib i roi gwybod i ni am eich syniad a chofrestru ar gyfer gweithdy (gweler y tab Newyddion a Digwyddiadau am ragor o wybodaeth).

2.    CREU EICH PROSIECT AR SPACEHIVE 

Creu eich prosiect ar Spacehive a fydd yn eich paru â chronfa Cyllido Torfol Abertawe. Fe'ch anogir i greu eich prosiect yn gynnar, er mwyn cael cymorth gan y tîm Spacehive. 

 3.    SICRHAU BOD EICH PROSIECT WEDI'I DDILYSU 

Caiff costau'r prosiect a'r caniatâd angenrheidiol eu gwirio gan ddilyswyr Spacehive cyn i chi ddechrau cyllido torfol. Cyflwynwch eich prosiect yn gynnar i sicrhau ei fod yn cael ei ddilysu cyn y dyddiad cau. Mae'n cymryd tua 4 diwrnod ar gyfartaledd i ddilysu prosiect, os oes gan grewyr y prosiect y dogfennau perthnasol wrth law. 

Cyn i chi gyflwyno'ch prosiect i'w ddilysu, sicrhewch fod gennych y canlynol:

• Prawf o ganiatâd (e.e. trwydded digwyddiad, cytundeb y cyngor, caniatâd y perchennog tir). Darllen rhagor am ganiatâd

• Tystiolaeth o gostau (e.e. dyfynbrisiau gwaith adeiladu, dolenni i restrau siopa ar-lein)

• Yswiriant, polisïau neu gymwysterau perthnasol (e.e. cyfansoddiad y sefydliad, polisi diogelu, ardystiadau)

• Tystiolaeth o unrhyw arian rydych wedi'i dderbyn ar gyfer y prosiect hwn y byddech wedi hoffi ei ddangos fel rhan o'ch ymgyrch (e.e. cytundeb grant, sgan o siec, cyfriflen banc) 

4.    LANSIO'CH YMGYRCH CYLLIDO TORFOL A'I CHYFLWYNO I'R GRONFA 

Sicrhewch eich bod wedi cyflwyno'ch syniad i'w ariannu erbyn y dyddiad cau hefyd, er mwyn cael eich ystyried am ernes gan y cyngor.

Sylwer: nid y cyngor fydd y sefydliad cyntaf i roi ernes ar gyfer eich prosiect, a bydd am weld y gefnogaeth ar gyfer eich prosiect gan y gymuned ar ffurf ernesau  gan bobl leol cyn iddo roi ernes ar gyfer eich ymgyrch.

Gallwch ddechrau arni nawr drwy gael nifer o ernesau bach gan y gymuned i ddangos y gefnogaeth leol ar gyfer eich prosiect. Bydd hyn yn eich helpu i gael ernesau mwy yn y pen draw.

Sylwer: ni ddylai ymgyrch cyllido torfol nodweddiadol fod yn hirach na 3 mis. 

 5.    ASESU AC ERNESU 

Bydd y cyngor yn adolygu'r holl brosiectau tua 6 wythnos ar ôl y dyddiad cau a gall prosiectau llwyddiannus ddisgwyl derbyn ernes o hyd at £5,000 (uchafswm o 50% o'r targed) yn ystod eu hymgyrch fyw. Er enghraifft, gallai ymgyrch gwerth £10,000 dderbyn hyd at £4,000. 

6. CYFLAWNI'CH TARGED A CHYFLWYNO'CH PROSIECT 

Mae angen i chi gyflawni'ch targed er mwyn derbyn yr arian rydych yn ei godi. Caniatewch hyd at 3 wythnos i dderbyn eich arian ar ôl i'ch ymgyrch ddod i ben. Unwaith y byddwch yn cyflwyno'ch prosiect, gallwch ddiweddaru eich cefnogwyr drwy gwblhau adroddiad effaith lliwgar ar Spacehive.

#CyllidoTorfolAbertawe

Ydy fy mhrosiect yn gymwys ar gyfer Spacehive?

Mae angen i brosiectau fod wedi’i gwreiddio’n lleol, yn amlwg ac yn fuddiol i’r gymuned

Os oes gennych syniad am brosiect a all helpu'ch ardal leol, Spacehive yw'r lle i godi arian ar ei gyfer.

Gall fod yn rhywbeth syml a chreadigol fel murlun stryd, neu'n rhywbeth mwy uchelgeisiol fel ailbwrpasu adeilad segur at ddefnydd y gymuned.

Gallai hefyd fod ar gyfer prosiectau dros dro, er enghraifft, os yw'r prosiect mewn ymateb i COVID-19 a'ch bod am brynu offer i wella gwasanaethau digidol lleol, sefydlu cynlluniau cynhyrchu bwyd lleol, neu ariannu pecynnau ymateb brys ar gyfer grwpiau cyd-cymorth.

Yr hyn sy'n bwysig yw bod eich prosiect yn amlwg. Bydd y rheini sy'n cefnogi'ch ymgyrch am weld sut mae'r arian yn cael ei wario.

Er nad yw'n bosib darparu ar gyfer pawb, dylai eich prosiect fod o fudd yn lleol, ac yn un y gall pawb ei fwynhau. Yn amlwg po fwyaf o bobl y mae eich prosiect yn apelio atynt, mwyaf y siawns y byddwch chi'n cynnal ymgyrch cyllido torfol lwyddiannus.

Rhaid i brosiectau fod yn y DU, a gallant gael eu harwain gan unrhyw fath o sefydliad neu unigolyn. Sylwer, nid yw bod yn gymwys i ddechrau ymgyrch cyllido torfol drwy Spacehive o reidrwydd yn golygu bod eich prosiect yn gymwys i gael arian drwy Spacehive - gwiriwch gymhwysedd y cronfeydd y mae gennych ddiddordeb mewn cyflwyno cais iddynt.

Yn chwilio am ysbrydoliaeth? Bydd ein harchif prosiectau yn rhoi blas i chi o'r mathau o brosiectau sy'n cymryd rhan yn yr ymgyrch cyllido torfol gyda ni. 

Ddim yn siŵr am eich syniad? Dywedwch wrthym amdano drwy'r ffurflen fer hon. Byddwn yn edrych arno ac yn cynnig cyngor ar sut orau i fwrw ymlaen ag ef.

Sut mae'r model cyllido torfol 'y cyfan neu ddim o gwbl' yn gweithio?

Mae angen i chi daro'ch targed er mwyn derbyn yr arian rydych yn ei godi. Fel arall ni fyddwch yn derbyn unrhyw arian.

Mae Spacehive yn gweithredu model 'y cyfan neu ddim o gwbl', sy'n golygu os na fyddwch yn cyrraedd eich targed, bydd cefnogwyr yn cael eu had-dalu ac ni fyddwch yn derbyn unrhyw arian. Gall hyn ymddangos yn frawychus i ddechrau, ond credwn ei fod er budd crëwyr prosiectau.

• Mae'n eich helpu i godi mwy o arian gan fod cefnogwyr yn gwybod bod yn rhaid i chi gyrraedd eich targed. Ar gyfer llwyfannau lle nad yw hyn yn orfodol, does dim brys ac mae'n gyffredin i chi godi llai na'r swm targed.
• Mae'n llai o risg i bawb. Os oes angen i chi godi £5,000, does dim gwerth mewn codi £1,000 os oes angen £5,000 arnoch i gwblhau prosiect.
• Mae'n annog eraill i'ch cefnogi. Maen nhw'n gwybod y bydd eu harian dim ond yn mynd tuag at y prosiect fel y caiff ei ddisgrifir ar eich tudalen, nid fersiwn ohono sydd wedi'i hanner ariannu.
• Mae'n gweithio. Mae 66% o ymgyrchoedd Spacehive yn llwyddiannus, sy'n llawer uwch na safon y diwydiant cyllido torfol.

Ar ôl cyrraedd y targed cyllido cychwynnol, gall prosiectau barhau i godi arian ychwanegol i wneud y prosiect hyd yn oed yn fwy ac yn well. Os yw'r prosiect yn caniatáu i chi godi mwy o arian na'r disgwyl, eglurir manylion sut y bydd yr arian ychwanegol yn cael ei wario ar dudalen y prosiect a gall cefnogwyr ddewis p'un a ydynt am gyfrannu tuag at y costau hynny hefyd. Cewch ragor o wybodaeth am godi mwy o arian na'r disgwyl yma.

Beth yw’r ffïoedd? A oes tâl?

Gall unrhyw un greu tudalen brosiect am ddim a dechrau ymgyrch cyllido torfol. Rydym yn ychwanegu ffi  o 5% ar gyfer ymgyrchoedd llwyddiannus, felly does dim angen i chi dalu'r ffi oni bai eich bod yn cyrraedd eich targed cyllido.

Gall unrhyw un ddechrau defnyddio Spacehive a chreu prosiect am ddim. Er mwyn sicrhau y gellir parhau i ddatblygu a chynnal ein llwyfan technoleg, y broses gwirio prosiectau, a'r gefnogaeth a ddarparwn, rydym yn gosod ffi o 5% ar brosiectau* sy'n cyrraedd eu targed gyda ni.

Pan fyddwch yn mewnbynnu costau eich prosiect, bydd ein system yn dal i gyfrifo'r ffi hon a bydd yn ymddangos fel eitem gost yn eich cyllideb.

Er enghraifft, os yw’ch prosiect yn costio £100, byddwn yn ychwanegu 5% + TAW at eich targed, sef cyfanswm o £106. Dyma fydd eich targed cyllido torfol.

Mae'n bwysig nodi bod ffïoedd trafod ar gyfer derbyn ernesau electronig yr ydym unwaith eto’n eu cyfrif ar eich cyfer unwaith y byddwch wedi mewnbynnu costau’ch prosiect. Pennir rhain gan Stripe, y darparwr talu allanol y byddwch yn cysylltu ag ef pan fyddwch yn creu eich prosiect gyda ni. Darllenwch ein herthygl  benodol i gael rhagor o wybodaeth am hyn.

Pa gyngor sydd gan grëwyr prosiectau eraill ar gyfer rhedeg ymgyrch lwyddiannus?

Mae crëwyr prosiectau sydd wedi bod yn llwyddiannus yn ffynhonnell wybodaeth gyfoethog. Mae'r mwyafrif yn cynghori y dylech fod yn barod i werthu'ch syniad, cael cynllun clir i'w gyflawni, mynd cam ymhellach i greu argraff ar arianwyr mawr, a dod o hyd i gefnogwyr cyn i chi ddechrau ar eich ymgyrch cyllido torfol.

• Aethon ni allan i ganfasio crëwyr prosiectau sydd wedi cynnal ymgyrchoedd llwyddiannus, gan ofyn cwestiwn syml iddyn nhw: pa awgrymiadau fyddech chi'n eu rhoi i rywun sydd eisiau dechrau ymgyrch cyllido torfol ar gyfer prosiect cymunedol ar Spacehive? Darllenwch eu hatebion yma.

Crowdfund Swansea is a platform where ideas can be shared, communities empowered and funds can be raised to take projects forward for the benefit of Swansea. We want to hear about your innovative ideas to make your community a better place. This is your opportunity to pitch your idea to the whole of Swansea and draw in funding from people, businesses, and Swansea Council. Let’s work together and improve Swansea for everyone to enjoy.

Crowdfund Swansea will be running a funding round to launch your crowdfunding campaign and pitch to the fund. Along with pledges from your local community, there is an opportunity to get a pledge of up to £5,000 / 50% of your campaign target from the council towards your crowdfunding campaign. ​

To get started, create your project on Spacehive and get your project verified. You will then submit your pitch to the Crowdfund Swansea Fund via the Spacehive platform and launch your campaign.

To be considered by the council for a pledge, you should:

1. Launch your crowdfunding campaign on Spacehive.

2. Showcase local support for your project in the form of backers.

Pitches to the fund will be considered typically 6 weeks after the fund deadline. If successful, you will receive a pledge towards your live crowdfunding campaign. The Spacehive team is on hand to share lots of advice on how to run a brilliant crowdfunding campaign.

Join the Spacehive team at the next upcoming workshop for more information (see News & Events page) and read the steps below to learn how to get involved.

 1.    SHARE YOUR IDEA + ATTEND A WORKSHOP

Complete our Project Idea Form ​​​​as soon as possible to tell us about your idea and register for a workshop (see News & Events tab for more information).

2.    CREATE YOUR PROJECT ON SPACEHIVE

Create your project page on Spacehive which will match you to the fund name. You are encouraged to create your project early, to unlock support from the Spacehive team. 

 3.    GET YOUR PROJECT VERIFIED

The project costs and necessary permissions will be checked by Spacehive's verifiers before you begin crowdfunding. Submit early to ensure you’re verified before the deadline. Verification takes an average of four days where project creators have the relevant documents to hand. 

Before you submit for verification, make sure that you have:

• Proof of permission (e.g. event license, council agreement, landowner consent). Read more about permissions.

• Evidence of costs (e.g. building work quotations, links to online shop listings)

• Relevant insurances, policies, or qualifications (e.g. organisation constitution, safeguarding policy, certifications)

• Evidence of any funds that you have received for this project that you would like to have shown on your campaign (e.g. grant agreement, scan of a cheque, bank statement).

4.    LAUNCH YOUR CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN AND PITCH TO THE FUND

Once verified, launch your crowdfunding campaign. Ensure you have submitted your fund pitch by the deadline too, to be considered for a pledge from the council.

Please note: the council will not be the first organisation to pledge to your project and will first want to see community support and backing, in the form of pledges from local people towards your campaign.

Start by getting lots of small pledges from the community to show local support for your project. This will help unlock bigger pledges.

Please note: a typical crowdfunding campaign should not exceed three months.

 5.    ASSESSMENT AND PLEDGE

The council will review all projects typically 6 weeks after the deadline and successful projects can expect to receive a pledge of up to £5,000 (max 50% of target) during their live campaign. For example, a £10,000 campaign could get up to £4,000. 

6. HIT YOUR TARGET AND DELIVER YOUR PROJECT 

You need to hit your target in order to receive the funds you raise. Please allow up to three weeks to receive funds once your campaign ends. Once you deliver your project, you can update your backers by completing a colourful impact report on Spacehive. 

To learn more about crowdfunding on Spacehive, visit the Help Centre. 

For any additional questions, please contact Spacehive on [email protected].

Is my project eligible for Spacehive?

Projects need to be locally-rooted, tangible, and serve a community purpose.

If you have an idea for a project that can help your local area, then Spacehive is the place to raise funds for it.

It may be something simple and creative such as a street mural, or more ambitious such as repurposing a disused building for community use. 

It could also be for temporary projects, for example if the project is in response to COVID-19 and you are looking to purchase equipment to improve local digital services, set up local food production schemes, or fund emergency response packages for mutual aid groups. 

What's important is that your project is tangible. People who will back your campaign will want to see where their money has gone. 

While it's impossible to cater to all, your project should have local benefit and not just be for a select few to enjoy. Obviously the more people your project appeals to, the more chance you stand of running a successful crowdfunding campaign.

Projects must be in the UK, and can be led by any type of organisation or individual. Please note, being eligible to crowdfund on Spacehive does not necessarily mean your project is eligible for funds available on Spacehive - please check eligibility of the funds you're interested in pitching to. 

Looking for inspiration? Our project archive will give you a flavour of the types of projects that crowdfund with us.

Not quite sure about your idea? Tell us about it via this short form. We’ll look over it and offer advice on how best to proceed.
 

How does the all-or-nothing crowdfunding model work?

You need to hit your target in order to receive the funds you raise. Otherwise you will not receive any.

Spacehive operates an all-or-nothing model, which means that if you don’t hit your target, backers are refunded and you receive no funds. This can seem daunting at first, however we believe that it is to the advantage of project creators.

• It helps you raise more money as backers know you have to hit your target. On platforms where this isn't mandated, there's no urgency and it's common to raise less than the target amount. 

• It’s less risk for everyone. If you need £5,000, it’s not much good having £1,000 and crowd of people expecting you to complete a £5,000 project.

• It encourages people to back you. They know their money will only go towards the project as described on your page, not a half-funded version of it.

• It works. 66% of Spacehive campaigns are successful, which is much higher than the crowdfunding industry standard.

Once the initial funding target has been reached, projects can continue to raise additional funds to make the project even bigger and better. If the project has overfunding enabled, details of how the extra funds will be spent are explained on the project page and backers can choose whether to keep pledging towards those cost items too. Find out more about overfunding here.

What are the fees? Is there a charge?

Anyone can set up a project page for free, and start crowdfunding. We add a 5% success fee to campaigns which is only payable if you reach your funding target.

Anyone can start using Spacehive and create a project for free. To ensure the continuing development and maintenance of our technology platform, the process of verifying projects, and the support that we provide, we apply a 5% success fee to projects* which hit their target with us. 

When you input your project costs, our system will still calculate this fee and it will appear as a cost item in your budget.

For example, if your project costs £100, we will add 5% +VAT to your target, which works out as £106. This will be your crowdfunding target. 

It is important to note that there are transaction fees for accepting electronic pledges which again we calculate for you once you've input your project costs. These are set by Stripe, the external payment provider that you will connect with when you create your project with us. Read our dedicated article on these to find out more. 

What advice do other project creators have for running a successful campaign?

Project creators who have been successful are a rich source of knowledge. Most advise being prepared to sell your idea, having a clear plan to deliver it, going the extra mile to woo big funders, and having a crowd before you crowdfund.

• We went out and canvassed project creators who have run successful campaigns, asking them a simple question: what tips would you give to someone who wants to crowdfund a community project on Spacehive? Read their answers here.
