**Fourteen international non-profit organisations have launched the Reimagining 
Fundraising challenge, a competition that invites ideas that can reimagine fundraising
and help secure larger and more sustainable income to charities and non-profits 
around the world.**

 

[Reimagining Fundraising](http://www.reimaginingfundraising.org) is open for submissions

## How the challenge works

 

Submissions will go through expert evaluation and community voting in November, 
and those shortlisted will qualify to participate in a public online pitching session
to a panel comprised of representatives from the NGO partners in mid-December 2020.

 

The winning submissions will be publicly recognised during the online ceremony, 
along with the chance to co-develop and test the submission with one or more above
listed co-initiators of this challenge.

 

At the end of the challenge, an Innovation Playbook will be produced, featuring 
the highlights of the initiative.

 

The boundaries of what is possible are constantly shifting. Transformation is happening
right now. Reimagining Fundraising is calling for everyone’s contribution to shape
the future of the nonprofit sector and the ways we give. Participation is free of
any charge and starts today!
