What’s the GlobalGiving Accelerator?
The GlobalGiving Accelerator is a great opportunity to join the GlobalGiving community. Through the Accelerator training curriculum, you will learn how to maximize your online fundraising potential. You’ll then put your new skills to the test by participating in the Accelerator crowdfunding campaign. You will learn all about GlobalGiving’s great features and get to know the GlobalGiving Team. Not only that, but it is an excellent opportunity to grow your base of supporters through a unique campaign atmosphere.

How does it work?
The GlobalGiving Accelerator is a virtual training program and crowdfunding campaign that will help you take your fundraising to the next level. Following an optional two-week training curriculum, you’ll be entered into an Accelerator campaign where you’ll raise at least $5,000 total from a minimum of 40 different donors in order to graduate and secure a permanent fundraising spot on the GlobalGiving platform.
Any registered nonprofit (anywhere in the world!) is eligible to apply. We’ll support you as you reach out to your own networks, and tell your story in new and compelling ways. We’ll also provide matching incentives for your donors, and bonus prizes for the most successful participants.
GlobalGiving will provide $20,000 in matching funding and bonus prizes for participating organizations.
