Ever wondered how to get your bright idea off the ground?
Now you can make it happen with Hallam Give, the University's very own dedicated crowdfunding platform!
What is crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is sponsorship by a crowd of many donors, each making an individual donation in return for a small reward, like a t-shirt or a project poster. It works really well for universities because there are large groups of people - such as alumni, staff, friends and family - who want to make your projects succeed.
Hallam Give is just for you - our students. We'll offer you crowdfunding training and ongoing support and you'll also benefit from the University's wide networks - making sure your project reaches the right people and achieves its goal!
Crowdfunding is rewarding, fun, and a great way to connect with lots of different people. Working on a campaign will catch the eye of employers and provide some valuable material for your CV or portfolio.
How do I know if it's right for me?
If you're ready to breathe life to your idea, passion or dream and you have the drive to make it happen, Hallam Give is right for you. Unlike the other crowdfunding platforms out there, you are not charged any additional fees for running a project on our site.
- Do you want to start an internship abroad but can't afford the travel and accommodation costs?
- Does your sports club desperately need some new equipment?
- Do you need materials for your new design prototype?
- Do you have a fantastic business idea or product but don’t have access to the funds or connections to make it a reality?
- Are you making life-changing research but need help to take it to the next stage?
