The Always On feature allows Crowdfunder projects to continue raising funds even after they’ve successfully closed. When a project is in Always On mode, you’ll see a green icon indicating its status.
What Are the Benefits of Always On?
Keep raising funds after your campaign ends
Continue sharing your story and building on your project’s success
Reach new audiences and gain ongoing visibility on Crowdfunder
Please note: Donations will still be subject to transaction fees.
Who Is Always On For?
Always On is ideal for projects that want to maintain a presence on Crowdfunder and continue receiving donations beyond their initial campaign. It’s a great way to maximise any ongoing traffic to your project page and generate continued support over time.
When Can I Launch (or Re-launch) an Always On Project?
You can enable Always On when you first set up your project. It will automatically switch to Always On once your project closes successfully.
Keep What You Raise: Your project is considered successful if it receives any donations.
All or Nothing: You must reach your fundraising target by the project deadline for it to be considered successful and to enable Always On.
How Do I Enable Always On for My Live Project?
To activate Always On for a live project:
Go to the ‘Manage’ section of your project dashboard.
Select ‘Enable Always On’.
If your project closes successfully, it will automatically switch to Always On and continue accepting donations.
Projects that closed successfully within the past two weeks can also enable Always On from the Manage section to make the most of traffic to the page immediately after the campaign ends.
When do I receive the money?
You will receive pledges after they have passed their 7-day clearing period. Cleared pledges will be paid out weekly or monthly, depending on your chosen payout schedule. You can change this frequency from the payouts section of your project dashboard by following this guide: https://help.crowdfunder.co.uk/en/articles/1642313-when-will-i-receive-the-money-pledged-on-my-project
Can I Offer Rewards?
No – once your project switches to Always On, you’ll only be able to receive donations. Rewards are not available for Always On projects.
How Do I Switch My Project Off?
To stop receiving pledges:
Log in to your project dashboard.
Click on Manage.
Select ‘Close and stop accepting pledges’.
This will close your project successfully and prevent any further donations.
Please note: Charity fundraisers automatically switch to Always On once they close.
