GlobalGiving Accelerator Program 2019

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.

Training Topics Include:

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

Any registered non-profit (anywhere in the world!) is eligible to apply. They will provide support as you reach out to your own networks, and tell your story in new and compelling ways. Donors can give in USD or GBP, helping you reach your supporters in the US, the UK, and beyond. Also, they will provide matching incentives for your donors and bonus prizes for the most successful participants.

GlobalGiving is the largest global crowdfunding community connecting non-profits, donors, and companies in nearly every country. They help non-profits from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe (and hundreds of places in between) access the tools, training, and support them need to be more effective and make the world a better place.

The GlobalGiving foundation helps donors make safe and easy US tax-deductible donations to vetted, locally-driven organizations around the world. Donations are tax-deductible in the US, or UK taxpayers can give in GBP and claim an extra 25% if Gift Aid eligible.
