For local businesses

Put your business behind your community.

Give any amount a month to the shared pot. Every £20 a month in it funds another community website, and local people see your name as one of the businesses that made it happen.

Your amount

Any amount in £5 steps. On the payment page, set the quantity: each unit is £5 a month.

Choose your amount

Prefer to give once? Any one-off amount goes into the same shared pot. Once the pot reaches £240, a community website is assigned to it and funded for a year. Give a one-off amount.

Agree your listing. After you pay, a short form takes your business name, logo, link and any preference for a type of group or area, and we agree the wording before anything is published. You can also fill it in now.

Card payments are taken on Stripe's secure page. This is a sponsorship, not a donation: JW Community Websites is not a charity, so Gift Aid does not apply.

What you get

Visible goodwill, simply

Sponsoring is a straightforward way to be seen backing the groups your customers care about.

A credit people can see

Your business name, logo if you like, and a link to your own site, listed on Our supporters. The link is marked as a sponsored link.

Thanked on every funded site

Every website the pot funds carries a short thank-you to the community sponsors, linking to the supporters page where you are listed.

You set the amount

Give what suits your business each month. Every £20 in the pot funds a site, so a bigger amount funds more sites. There is no setup fee and no contract.

How it works

Four steps to sponsoring

You give into the shared pot. If you would like your support to lean towards a type of group or an area, just say so.

Choose your amount

Pick £10, £20, £40, £60, £80 or £100 a month, or set your own amount in £5 steps.

Pay by card

You set up your monthly payment on Stripe's secure page. Cancel at any time and payments stop.

Agree the listing

After paying, a short form takes your business name, logo and link, and any preference for a type of group or area. We agree the wording before it is published on Our supporters.

Your money goes to work

Your payment goes into the pot, and each week it's used to fund the next group on the list. Cancel at any time and payments stop.

Good to know

Straight answers

It is a sponsorship, not a donation. JW is not a charity, so Gift Aid does not apply. The money pays for websites to be built, hosted and kept up to date.

The pot is shared. Your preference is taken into account, but it can't be promised that your money reaches one particular group.

The community stays in control. Sponsors have no say over what a group publishes. You get a listing, and each group's website stays theirs.

Listings stay suitable. A sponsor that does not suit the communities it would appear beside can be declined, for example around a children's club, so credits stay plain and factual.

If you stop, your listing is removed, and sites already funded stay live for three months while the difference is made up. More on the FAQ and in the terms.
