About Crowdfunder

At Crowdfunder, we're on a mission to tackle society's biggest challenges by making ideas happen. We believe that the most transformative ideas often come from within the community. As the UK's leading crowdfunding platform for community causes, we've helped raise over £450 million for 100,000+ projects, supporting a community of 3.5+ million people united for good.

We're not just about raising funds, we're about nurturing grassroots innovation to create meaningful societal change. From sports clubs and charities to social enterprises and community groups, we help turn ideas into reality through the power of collective action.

Our application and interview process

Sometimes our interview process will change depending on the position and team availability. We will always keep you in the loop of what to expect in the process.

A typical process can look like this but it will differ from role to role;

1. Application

We encourage you to put a little thought into your application as this is how we’ll start to assess whether we’re the right fit for each other. Your answers to our questions are as important as your CV - and we don’t mind if you use AI to enhance your answers, but you’ll stand out if we can see your personality shine through!

2. Screening call with our People Manager
This will be a 20-30 minute video call to get to know you and what you’re looking for in your next role, to answer any questions you might have, and to make sure we align on all the basics.

3. An interview with the Hiring Manager
This will be a conversation with the people you will be working closely with, often your potential manager and another team member. You could expect a task centred interview or a panel style Q&A, giving you the opportunity to learn more about the company, the team and the role in more detail. It’s also a great chance for us to understand your experience, approach and for you to showcase your skills, and of course to ask any questions you may have.

Reasonable adjustments: If you need any support or adjustments during the interview process, please let us know in your application. We can, for example, send you questions in advance. Simply let us know how we can help, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

About Crowdfunder

Crowdfunder is a fundraising platform on a mission to spread positivity across the globe and we’re excited to be expanding. We are dedicated to turning innovative community ideas into reality, connecting project creators with passionate backers to go beyond the confines of traditional fundraising.

Our values - united for good, think creatively, always be human, empower greatness - are at the heart of everything we do. You’ll be part of a passionate and innovative team that is dedicated to making our world a better place.

Inclusion and diversity

Crowdfunder is tackling society's challenges, by making ideas happen. We connect projects that matter to people and companies who care.

We’re here to support diverse communities and to provide a platform for those who want to be heard; amplifying voices and impact is what we do.

We value the fact that each one of us is different, with different perspectives - and we want to reflect the diversity of the crowd we serve.

We recognise that we don’t all start from the same place - because advantages and barriers exist - but through Crowdfunder and crowdfunding, we believe we can offer greater equality of opportunity.

We’re creating an inclusive workplace culture, based on fairness, respect and honesty, because we believe leveraging differences achieves better results and better serves our crowd, our partners and our communities.

As part of that, we’re committed to educating ourselves, and each other, on gender, race, faith, disability, age, sexual orientation and other areas of diversity to ensure everyone is welcome and feels valued in our workplace as well as in our wider Crowdfunder community.

We recognise that ‘diversity and inclusion’ is not something that we will ever ‘achieve’. It’s not a box that can ever be ticked as ‘100% done’.

Diversity and inclusion is an ongoing journey of big steps and small nudges that will create a richer community and place to work and help us be a better business.

We’re proud to be on that journey together.
