Live match funding criteria
Salford City Council will provide match funding to Projects accepted to the Salford City Council Fund during their initial fundraising period as follows:
1. All Pledges made by supporters will be matched pound for pound up to £2000. This means that if a Project receives a Pledge of £50, Salford City Council will donate £50. If a Project receives a Pledge of £5000, Salford City Council will donate £2000.
2. The maximum match funding a Project can receive from Salford City Council is 50% of the original target you set up to a maximum of £20,000.(any stretch targets set at a later date will not qualify for match funding)
3. Match funding will be given on the first pledge made to a Project by a supporter.
4. Pledges will not be matched where a project is “always on”
5. Your project must receive pledges from a minimum of 10 unique supporters to receive the match funding. To verify whether supporters are unique we will take account of information including, but not limited to: name, address, email addresses and payment card used.
The match fund will be distributed on a first come first serve basis. Matching will stop automatically when the funds are fully allocated. Being approved for match funding does not guarantee you will receive any funding.
