Established in 2011, their unique website enables you to target donations and support to where it is most needed.

You will find a range of exciting community focused projects that need your help. With only a couple of clicks you can help a grass roots local project get off the ground and make a real difference to those it serves. Whether you are an individual, an organisation, school or business, please show your support by making a donation to a project of your choice.

This website has been built on the latest version of WordPress (3.3) and uses a custom theme built from scratch specifically for Crowdfund Sw1′s needs.

The website’s main functionality is its integration with PayPal, which allows user to securely donate to specific projects online. Using the built in WordPress custom post types, each project tracks how many people and how much money has been donated automatically.

Using the WordPress custom meta data for custom post types, the website allows Crowdfund SW1 to embed videos from Vimeo and YouTube by adding the relevant video ID’s to each project.

The website also integrates with MailChimp’s API to add the details of the users who opt-in when donating to a project. This allows Crowdfund SW1 to easily send updates to these people by email, on the progress of the projects they have donated too.

Crowdfund SW1 needs your help and support so go and donate as much as you can over on their website.
