For funders & partners

Fund a local story

Back a real person or a high-street business in your town, and get the credit for it. Every published story names the funder who made it possible.

How it works

You pledge an amount. We match it to a local fund that's been approved and is ready to go — a person who needs a hand, or a business that's growing. When their story is filmed and published, you're named as the funder who backed it.

The segment offer

Partners can sponsor a run of stories — a recurring segment carrying your name. It's a warm, genuine association with real good happening on your doorstep, not an advert bolted onto someone else's content.

Paid-partnership disclosure

Where a funder pays to be associated with stories, we say so, clearly and every time. Published stories that involve a paid partnership are labelled as such. Trust is the whole point — we will never hide who paid for what.

The gift structure, plainly

Contributions are gifts. Funders receive recognition, not repayment. You are not lending money and you will not be paid back. There is no financial return, no interest, and no equity. What you get is the credit, the connection to your community, and the knowledge that you made a specific, named difference.

Make a pledge

There's no payment to make now. Tell us what you'd like to give and an admin will follow up to arrange it.

Are you pledging as a person or a company?

This is the name we'll show as the funder.

So we can follow up about your pledge.

Leave this on the general fund and we'll allocate it where it's needed most.

Published stories display the funder's credit. By pledging you agree we may name you as the funder of the story you back.
