Nearly any campaign can be tailored into, and become, a crowdfunding campaign. This is the beauty of crowdfunding; every project is different. Just looking on the PleaseFund.Us platform, it’s evident how diverse crowdfunding really is. And not just from projects live on the site, but from all of our successful projects as well.

The PleaseFund.Us Creatives Grants winners were announced a week ago today and since then, not 1, but 2 projects have successfully met their targets!

Mission: Explore Food and Sam Rose In The Shadows were awarded 1st and 2nd place grants of £1500 and £750, but despite this ‘helping hand’ however, both projects still had quite some way to go to reach their targets.

There were six projects in the running for that 1st place grant of £1500; all of which had proved themselves as worthy contenders for the PleaseFund.Us Creatives Grants. The criteria is simple: Each project must have at least 20 backers, 100 facebook shares and 50 tweets (all directly from their project page). Other than that, the Creatives Grants are open to absolutely anyone (providing you’re over the age of 18). No restrictions. No forms. Our grant applications are quick and easy.

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.

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.
