This session is for charity and community leaders that:


  • have been meaning to try crowdfunding and never been quite sure where to start
  • have great ideas for a campaign but not had time to get it going
  • have seen other people’s successful crowdfunders and want that for their organisation


Crowdfunding is a great income source and awareness-raising tool, with several funders able to match gifts that you secure from your supporter base. Like any fundraising tool successful crowdfunders have a structure.


In this session we will share real life crowdfunding knowledge and advice on common pitfalls to help you decide when, where and how to run your campaign. 


In this one-hour online session you will be taken through the building blocks of a successful campaign, with time throughout to ask questions and tailor your crowdfunding plans. We will cover:


  • what platform to use
  • what topics to consider
  • what income goal to have and how to fill it
  • timeframe and workload
  • rewards (number, type, cost, fulfilment)
