ATTENTION ALL PLEASEFUND.US PROJECT OWNERS!

We're now down to the last couple of days before we hand over the shortlist of entrants to the judges for The PleaseFund.Us Creatives Grants.  There’s as little as 3 days left until the winners are announced, and on 23rd February you and your project could potentially win some of the £5000 on offer.

Campaigns reaching their goal have an average lifespan of 52 days; most of which raise a 1/3 of their goal in less than two weeks. Here’s 3 ways how you can start your campaign off with a bang, and 3 reasons why you should do it.

With the deadline for the Creatives Grants approaching, there has been a recent influx of projects uploaded to the platform; all of which are placed in very different categories, and all of which could be potential winners of that £5000 grant money.
Documentaries, computer games, musical theatre, film, books, (naughty) baking… we’ve got it all.  But what can you get out of it? Well… we’ll tell you…

There are many independent artists out there trying to fund the recording of their new single or album; the making of their new music video; or even the purchasing of their new tour van. Some of them are getting fully funded, and others aren’t. Why?

We’ve taken 3 successful music projects from different platforms and look at why they’ve been successful. They may not be the most successful in terms of how much they’ve exceeded their goal, or how much money they’ve raised, but it’s how they’ve gone about creating a successful project which matters.
 

With every project, there’s a project owner: an individual, an organisation, or a group of individuals. We want to unveil who’s behind the projects that you love, find out more about them, and learn more about their project.

Daniel Raven-Ellison is the front man behind Mission: Explore Food. Daniel and his team have worked hard at developing quality links with people within their immediate communities and have interacted well with their supporters.

There are 42 days left to go before the 12 winners of the PleaseFund.Us Creatives Grants are announced on the 23rd February. That still leaves plenty of time for new projects to be uploaded and join some of newest projects that have only recently embarked on their campaigns: Some of which are already contenders for the Creatives Grants. We’ve had a look through all those projects who could be in contention of winning a grant, and we tell you why.

Working at PleaseFund.Us, we get to see some amazing crowdfunding videos, here are just a few recent ones that have really caught our imagination. The projects range from Mission: Explore Food's awesome new adventure packed book, to Alakazam your spontaneous flight search Iphone app.
