Civic Crowdfunding - Provision of Civic Crowdfunding to support community based local development projects.

Dublin City Council wishes to award a Contract for the provision of a Civic Crowdfunding Partnership to support community based local development projects. The Civic Crowdfunding is to be the vehicle initially for low to mid-level value community projects (typically in the range of €1,000 to €10,000). This value range may change over the life of the contract, subject to the success of the programme. Civic Crowdfunding will provide an opportunity to increase available resources through small contributions from a large volume of funders. Bringing together like-minded individuals around a commonly supported community initiative is likely to have a positive impact on community development. Civic Crowdfunding may also make Dublin City Council funding more accessible. It is important to DCC that all communities, regardless of location, access or familiarity to digital media or any other aspect, have equal opportunity to participate fully in the Civic Crowdfunding process. It is anticipated that Civic Crowdfunding would be largely community led with part funding being provided by The Council. In this way, DCC funding will support projects which have gained support via the crowd funding platform. The Crowdfunding Platform will largely support the community group to identify and apply for funding from the Council in addition to mentoring applicants and promoting the project to deliver crowdfunding support. The crowdfunding platform gives the community an objective third party to consider its application and ensures that funding is ring-fenced for specific projects. Please note that this project is subject to funding
