Sponsorships
Put your community budget where people actually meet.
Cozy helps people find affordable spaces, run events, fund community projects, find work and find a home, free and with no commission. Sponsors help us make London a better place to live: less lonely, more affordable, more connected. Your support shows up in rooms full of people, and in numbers you can report.

What changes in the real world
Less lonely cities
Every event and every welcome table is people meeting in person, in their own neighbourhood. Loneliness is one of the quiet costs of city life; shared rooms are one of its simplest fixes.
Lower costs for the people doing good
No commission or booking fees means a community group’s budget goes on the room and the activity, not on a platform. That’s the cost of living, eased for the people holding communities together.
Local places that survive
Halls, studios and small venues are closing. Every booking, ticket and match-funded project brings them income, paid straight to them.
Work, skills and a way in
Connect puts jobs, volunteering and mentoring in front of people nearby, with no fees for the organisations offering them.
Homes with people in them
Coliving and shared rooms help people afford the city and find a household, not just a bedroom.
Buildings we already have
Using existing halls and rooms well is lower-carbon than building new ones.
Sponsorship packages
Each one can be shaped around your goals, places and people. We cost it with you in a private proposal.
- Keeps Cozy free
Mission Partner
Cover a year of Cozy’s running costs, so listing, messaging and ticketing stay free for every host, group and organiser.
- Named as a Mission Partner on Supporters, Media and in the footer
- A seat at our twice-yearly community roundtable
- A yearly impact report you can use in your own reporting
- One borough or county
Neighbourhood Partner
Back the spaces, events and projects of one place you care about: where your offices are, or where your people live.
- “Supported by” credit on that area’s page
- A quarterly report for that area: new spaces, events, tickets, projects
- A staff volunteering day in a local community space
- Community events
Free Space Fund
Pay the hire for grassroots groups that can’t: a youth club’s Saturday hall, a newcomers’ supper, a repair café. Paid straight to the venue, so local spaces earn and the event stays free.
- Credit on every event you fund
- Stories and photos (with consent) from the groups you help
- Live count of sessions, hours and people reached
- Crowdfund
Match Partner
Match what local people give to community projects on Cozy Crowdfund: fixing a chapel roof, opening a community kitchen, turning a dairy into a retreat barn.
- Your match shown on each campaign as it happens
- Choose the themes, places or projects you match
- Every pound goes to the project’s own account
- Connect
Opportunities Partner
Fund paid placements, apprenticeships or mentoring for people starting out, posted and managed on Cozy Connect at no cost to the organisations hosting them.
- “Funded by” credit on the roles you back
- Applications and placements reported each quarter
- Your staff as mentors, if you’d like
- Loneliness and living
Belonging Partner
Fund a monthly welcome table in community spaces and coliving homes: a shared meal for people new to the city, or living alone, to meet their neighbours.
- Credit at every welcome table
- Attendance and return visits reported
- A table hosted by your team, if you’d like
Match funding
Double what a neighbourhood can do.
Matches are pledged as your organisation on each campaign and paid straight into the project’s own account. Cozy never holds the money.
Pound for pound
You match every pledge to a project, up to a cap you set. Backers see their gift doubled as they give.
Challenge match
Your pledge unlocks when the community reaches a share of the target, such as half. It turns a slow start into momentum.
Last mile
You close the gap for projects that have come close. No good idea falls short by a few hundred pounds.
Theme fund
A pot for one kind of project: community kitchens, accessible spaces, youth, green buildings. You set the theme; we put it in front of the right organisers.
Staff giving match
Match what your own people give to Cozy or to projects on Crowdfund, so their generosity goes further.
Alongside other funders
Match alongside a council, a foundation or a local business, with your contribution shown together, and Gift Aid on top where a charity runs the project.
For your CSR and ESG plans
Why Cozy
Measurable social value. Spaces opened up, events held, tickets issued, projects funded, roles filled: counted by the platform itself, by place and over time, ready for your impact or social value reporting.
Local, not abstract. Pick the boroughs and counties where your offices, customers and people are, and see what changes there.
Your people, involved. Volunteering days in community spaces, mentoring on Connect, a welcome table hosted by your team, or your next offsite in a venue that keeps all of what you pay.
Clean and simple. No commission and no money held by Cozy: sponsorship keeps the platform free, match funding goes straight to projects, and venue hire goes straight to venues. Your credit is always clearly labelled as support.
