Welcome to CrowdJustice - the award-winning platform for funding legal issues.
Signing up for CrowdJustice
You can begin the sign-up process by clicking on 'Need funding?'.
We'll need some details about you, so we can contact you about your campaign. Please enter the email you use most often. You'll also be asked to accept our Terms and Conditions.
You'll then be asked which type of fundraising campaign you'd like to use - public or private. If you're not sure, you can ask your lawyer, and read more about Public v Private fundraising here.
Getting your campaign live on CrowdJustice.
We have a simple four step process to complete before you can launch your case.
1 . Build your page
Tell your story
This is where you'll lay out the background to your legal matter, explain why it's important people support you, and how much money you need to raise.
Depending on the nature of your case, you may need to use templated language. We always advise consulting with your lawyer on this, as we cannot offer legal advice on the content of the page.
2. Campaign Details
Launch date
Here you can choose a date and time that would like your campaign to be open for donations on CrowdJustice. We recommend launching in the morning, so you can utilise the whole day to gain early momentum. It's worth bearing in mind, that your page will not go live until we have approved it. So if the date comes and goes, not to worry - your case will not automatically be live!
Targets
Choosing a target can seem tricky, but we've put together some brilliant guides to help! It's always worth having a chat with your lawyer about how much money you need to raise; is there a minimum amount needed to move forward, or is any amount of money helpful?

3. Verification
Where should I send funds?
Unless you are raising funds for a legal matter for a registered charity or non-profit (more on that here) the funds will need to be sent to your lawyer's client account. You don't need to send us those details, we will reach out to your lawyer directly to request them.
Photo ID
We need this so that we can complete our due-diligence checks. They will not be shared with any third-party. If you don't have photo ID, please contact our support team in the messenger below.
4 Preview - time to submit!
This is where you'll see a preview of what people who you invite to view your page (more on how to do that here) will see. Once you're happy with how it looks, and your lawyer has signed-off on your page, hit submit and we'll be in touch!
As a default, you will need to pick a time at least 24 hours in the future, but if you want to start raising funds before that, get in touch with us through our support messenger in the right hand corner of the screen!
Happy fundraising!
