Public bodies such as Parish Councils and schools - if delivery benefits wider community
Faith groups, if the project pitched features non-religious activities and demonstrate the activity is inclusive and does not promote a religious view
Projects pitched by individuals & privately held companies, or commercial activities & party political promotion, are not eligible to receive funding.

--------------------------
1. SHARE YOUR IDEA + ATTEND A WORKSHOP
Complete our Project Idea Form as soon as possible to tell us about your idea.
2. CREATE YOUR PROJECT ON SPACEHIVE
Create your project page on Spacehive which will match you to the relevant funds. 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)
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, no later than 20 April. 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 Partnership will review all projects in mid May 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 £5,000.
An additional £3,000 could be pledged from the South & East Lincolnshire Shared Prosperity Fund.
Where projects have significant impact across multiple local authority areas, or where multiple funds are pledging to the same project, project creators can receive a combination of pledges with the maximum contribution increased to 65% of the crowdfunding target.
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.
