# Create project

`projects.create`

Create one funding request for an existing Business in an authorized workspace. The Project and its shared matching questions are created together. For a new Project, omit assignment to assign yourself, or supply assignment.email as an active workspace member's email or null to leave it unassigned. Continuing a client request preserves its assignment; use projects.update to change it.
