Free Digital Fundraising Training for Charities

Free Digital Fundraising Training for Charities

GlobalGiving, the largest global crowdfunding community for charities, is accepting applications for its Accelerator and digital fundraising training programme until the 1st May 2018. Participating organisations will receive online training and access to GlobalGiving’s tools and resources. You’ll then be entered into a 3-week crowdfunding campaign to raise at least £4,000 for your chosen project. In addition to training and advice, GlobalGiving will offer match funding opportunities, bonus prizes and the opportunity for graduates of the programme to gain full GlobalGiving partnership status!

The campaign’s reach is global, as is the platform, and donors can give in USD or GBP, enabling participating nonprofits to reach international donors.

The Accelerator training contains the following topics:

  • The basics of Crowdfunding
  • Network Mapping – find hidden opportunities amongst the people you know
  • Pitching your project – telling your story in new and compelling ways
  • Digital communications – convey your value, results and impact; and reach new supporters

March Accelerator Success Story

Last quarter, over 100 organisations ‘graduated’ from the Accelerator. One of the nonprofits to complete the programme, La Serenissima, raised £12,000 in three weeks for their baroque music charity and were delighted with the fundraising success they achieved:

“The Accelerator has helped us embark on a new chapter of success with fundraising. It’s given us a lot of confidence and helped us engage new types of people to engage with our work. It was a really enlightening activity and has helped give us a very positive outlook on our fundraising.”
