**[GlobalGiving](http://www.globalgiving.co.uk/) is offering three weeks of free
online training on crowdfunding, with a deadline for applications of 5^(th) October.**

 

The Gateway to Crowdfunding course will cover all aspects of crowdfunding, from 
telling the story in an online friendly format, to mapping networks of who can help,
support and donate, to what creative strategies and ideas can be used to get attention
online and offline.

The course is mainly aimed at small to medium sized charities and social enterprises,
and any can apply, regardless of where they are registered, or the field they work
in.

 

The course offers online webinars and 1-2-1s with GlobalGiving staff, which will
help participating charities develop strong campaign strategies and content. Participants
will then be challenged to put these strategies into place by participating in the
Gateway Crowdfunding Challenge and, between November 14th and December 19th working
to raise a minimum of £2,500 from 50 donors to help fund their projects.

 

Following this, participants will become permanent members of GlobalGiving’s crowdfunding
platform, which will provide access to a range of benefits, as well as corporate
and philanthropic grants. They will also become eligible to take part in match funding
campaigns and bonus days, where funds are matched either 50% or 100%.

 

In addition to these financial benefits, they will also be able to access skilled
volunteers from GlobalGiving’s corporate partners, take part in a mentoring scheme
and participate in monthly learning webinars on different organisational aspects,
from fundraising to communications, to ICT and security.
