## Successful participant

One successful participant in the Spring 2015 crowdfunding challenge was Nick from
Aurora Health Foundation. He said:

> “I doubt my organisation would have had such a successful campaign if I hadn’t
> done the training. It gave an excellent foundation to my learning and gave me 
> tremendous confidence and inspiration so I could hit the ground running when it
> kicked off”.

Founded in 2002 GlobalGiving UK says that it is “the original crowdfunding platform”
and that it has helped not-for-profit organisations “raise over £100 million, access
hundreds of skilled volunteers and connect with peers”.
