 * Mapping your potential donor network
 * Storytelling and email appeals
 * Creating SMART goals

 

Participants are then entered into a crowdfunding campaign to put the theory into
practice with the aim of raising at least £4,000 in three weeks. There will be match
funding opportunities, “bonus prizes” and graduates of the programme will become
full [GlobalGiving partners](https://tracking.cirrusinsight.com/dfde41c8-8717-4337-9600-78f2b5957507/globalgiving-org-nonprofits).

 

## Open to nonprofits around the world

 

The GlobalGiving Accelerator programme is open to nonprofits around the world, provided
they are registered. 

 

GlobalGiving will provide support to organisations accepted onto the programme as
they reach out to their networks and tell their story.

 

Donors can give in US$ or £, meaning that organisations can appeal to supporters
in the USA, the UK, and beyond.

 

[Applications](https://www.globalgiving.org/accelerator/?rf=spref_cm_UKfundraising)
should be received by 1 February 2018.
