SaintsFunder Projects can be created by students, university members and alumni. We review all projects for suitability based on the quality of the presentation of the projects, their goals and the level of organisation and commitment demonstrated by the teams behind them.
How does SaintsFunder fundraising work?
SaintsFunder provides you with a free-to-use digital platform which will allow your society to receive online donations made by debit or credit card. You will create a project, then share it on social media, and send the link to friends, family and other supporters.
The University covers the transaction costs, which means you will receive 100% of every donation made.
Can I raise more than my funding target?
Yes! There is no ceiling to how much you can raise and it is common for projects to raise more than their target.
How do I create a project?
Start off by contacting saintsfunder@st-andrews.ac.uk. We would love to hear about your proposed project!
There is an application form to fill in, giving a description of what you want to do, a funding target, and a completion date. You need to have a clear goal, and be able to explain how you will spend the funds you raise.
Your application will be reviewed and, subject to approval, you will then be able to create a project landing page on the SaintsFunder platform. Images and videos will bring your project to life. There are lots of tips and information in the User Guides and FAQs, and if you have any questions, just contact us.
Are there any fees?
There are no additional fees, so 100% of the funds you raise will contribute to funding your project.
