Community & Cause-Based Fundraising
Rally your community around important causes with a visual campaign that builds connection and transparency
Bring Your Community Together for Good
GoodGrid transforms community fundraising with a visual approach that creates deeper connection and engagement. Create a campaign where each sponsored square represents a community member's commitment to a shared cause.

Fictional example: Oakwood Community Garden
An illustrative scenario, not a real campaign. The figures and quotation below are fictional and do not predict results.
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 squares at 50p each, where community members could sponsor them 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."
How It Works for Community Campaigns
Create Your Campaign
Set up your grid with details about your community cause, funding goals, and how the funds will be used to benefit the community.
Mobilise Your Community
Share with local residents, businesses, community groups, and on neighbourhood platforms to encourage broad participation.
Create Lasting Impact
Use the funds for your community project while providing updates and recognising contributors. Consider displaying the final grid at your completed 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 squares together. This builds momentum and strengthens community connections.
💡 Suggest Square Amounts
Encourage community members to choose a group of squares to match their desired level of support. For example, "£10 plants one tree" or "£50 sponsors a garden bench."
