Celebrating 10 years of Click

A decade of ideas. A decade of impact. 

For ten years, Click, Essex's innovative crowdfunding platform, has been a place for students, staff and alumni to put forward big ideas and projects for fundraising. 

The special thing about Click is that, unlike other crowdfunding platforms, it's completely free for students, staff and alumni to use. You'll get 100% of the funds you raise, with no fees incurred. 

Match funding means that the University of Essex agrees to ‘match’ donations received to a current student's project, £1 for £1, up to an agreed limit. So £100 raised becomes £200 to bring someone's big project to life. 

Support student crowdfunding

Generous donations from alumni and supporters to the Student Experience Fund help us to match fund eligible projects submitted by Essex students up to £500. Their projects include everything from events, activities, arts, societies, sports and so much more.
