Creative Money For Creative Minds

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.

Now is the time for one big push in your campaign: Now is the time for you (and your followers) to share your project as much as you can via Facebook and Twitter, and to garner the most amount of support possible. With 12 grants on offer, your project should stand a good chance of winning one of them. However, in order to be eligible remember that your project must have:

- Over 100 Facebook shares
- Over 50 Tweets
- And 20 backers or more

The more of each of these, the better chance your project will have of winning that 1st place prize of £1500!  

There have been some projects that have been in the running right from the start of the New Year, and there have also been some recent additions to the contender list. At the end of the day, we're very excited about helping 12 projects get that little bit closer to being successfully funded, but it's up to you to make sure your project has the best possible chance of winning. 

From the shortlist of projects, the final decision will then be made by our 3 judges:

Nina Prosser - National Programme Manager, Enterprise (The Princes Trust)

Shaun Walsh - Deputy Director, Communications & Marketing (The Big Lottery Fund)

Matthew Stafford - Project Leader, technology start-ups, equity investment, debt finance, corporate strategy and business development (Pembridge Partnership Limited)

If you want your project's fate to be in our judges hands, whatever your funding target, then just make sure you've met all our simple criteria.  

We want to include as many projects as possible in the shortlist we send to our judges.
