Applications Invited for GlobalGiving Accelerator Programme 2020

About the Organization:

GlobalGiving is the largest global crowdfunding community connecting nonprofits, donors, and companies in nearly every country. Their vision is unleashed potential of people to make positive change happen. Their mission is to transform aid and philanthropy to accelerate community-led change.

GlobalGiving Accelerator:

The GlobalGiving Accelerator is an opportunity for you and your organization to build skills, access tools, and grow your base of supporters to achieve crowdfunding success. When you graduate, your organization becomes a permanent member of GlobalGiving, and you’ll have access to all the tools, training, and one-on-one support available in the GlobalGiving community. The GlobalGiving Accelerator is a virtual training program and crowdfunding campaign that will help you take your fundraising to the next level. Following an optional one-week training curriculum, you’ll be entered into an Accelerator campaign where you’ll raise at least $5,000 total from a minimum of 40 different donors in order to graduate and secure a permanent fundraising spot on the GlobalGiving platform.

Any registered nonprofit (anywhere in the world!) is eligible to apply. They’ll support you as you reach out to your own networks, and tell your story in new and compelling ways. Donors can give in USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, and AUD, helping you reach your supporters in the US, the UK, and beyond. They’ll also provide matching incentives for your donors, and bonus prizes for the most successful participants.

Training Topics Include:

• Crowdfunding 101;
• Mapping your potential donor network;
• Storytelling and email appeals; and
• Creating SMART goals.

GlobalGiving will provide $30,000+ in matching funding and bonus prizes for participating organizations.
