Real-Life Example: Oakwood Community Garden

The Challenge

Residents of Oakwood Estate wanted to transform a neglected plot of land into a community garden, but needed £5,000 for soil remediation, raised beds, tools, and initial plantings.

The GoodGrid Solution

They created a 50×50 grid with blocks at 50p each, where community members could sponsor blocks with their names or dedications. Local businesses were invited to sponsor larger sections.

The Results

The campaign exceeded its goal in 6 weeks, raising £5,750. The completed grid was printed as a permanent sign at the garden entrance, recognising all contributors. The garden not only beautified the area but brought together residents who'd never met before.

"GoodGrid changed how our community thinks about fundraising. Instead of just asking for donations, we created a visual representation of our community's commitment that everyone could feel part of. The garden is flourishing, and so are the new friendships formed through this project."

Tips for Community Campaigns

💡 Create Physical Recognition

Plan to display your completed grid as a permanent fixture at your project site, creating lasting recognition for contributors and a sense of community ownership.

💡 Partner with Local Businesses

Invite local businesses to sponsor larger sections of your grid. Offer recognition opportunities such as featured placement or special callouts in project communications.

💡 Host Community Events

Organise in-person events where people can learn about your cause and sponsor blocks together. This builds momentum and strengthens community connections.

💡 Suggest Block Quantities

Encourage community members to purchase multiple blocks to match their desired level of support. For example, "£10 worth of blocks plants one tree" or "£50 worth of blocks sponsors a garden bench."
