The Secret Millionaire is a Channel 4 and RDF Television production, now in its fourth series, which sees millionaires infiltrate community groups posing as volunteers. They then donate their own money to the causes they feel will benefit the most.

For the new series, lottery funding worth £1 million will also be awarded in grants of up to £10,000 across the UK for good causes helping local communities.

Interested groups will be encouraged to visit the show's website to download application forms and apply for funding.

Following a competitive pitch, Collective has been chosen to develop the site, which also allows viewers to vote for the most deserving applicant, and to highlight their favourite local cause on an interactive map.

Successful applicants may then be selected for filming by Channel 4 and appear on the website or TV programme.
