Our Journey So Far
Learn about the origins of Play Fund Win and what are ambitions are for the immediate future.
-
Play Fund Win was born out of a shared mission to do greater social good by using technology. Launching during a global pandemic, we quickly learned about the scale of the need for funding to keep charitable and good causes operational.
-
During this phase, we launched our MVP following our certifications and approved license with multiple fundraising bodies. We launched our first major draw with a national sporting partner, our first Wembley Stadium draw (RFL Challenge Cup Final) and reached the 100 draw hosts milestone.
We became the largest fundraising provider for premiership football clubs working with Man City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Brentford, Southampton, Fulham, and Burnley. -
We launched our host dashboard, launched our first partnership agreements and set up our grassroots support scheme. We celebrated £1 million raised for good causes and developed a non-executive advisory board to expand our efforts.
-
We’ve upgraded our technology and expanded our team to empower our mission. 2024 will see us partner with a record number of causes and commercial partnerships in the UK and beyond. That means more funds for good causes, and more prize winners than ever.
