GlobalGiving is the first and largest global crowdfunding community for nonprofits.
We give nonprofits access to the tools, training, and support they need to become more effective.
And because GlobalGiving is trusted by donors of all sizes (including 135+ really amazing companies), all around the world, we channel more extra funding to nonprofits than any other crowdfunding platform.

GlobalGiving’s Core Values• Always Open
We believe in the power of great ideas and that these ideas can come from anyone, anywhere, at anytime.
• Never Settle We have an obligation to question the rules, change them for the better, raise
the bar, play a different game, and play it better than anyone thinks is possible.
• Committed to WOW We act promptly, enthusiastically, and professionally so people are WOW-ed
by their interactions with us.• Listen, Act, Learn. Repeat.
We continually experiment. We fail quickly and productively. We use data and feedback to guide our course.

The ‘Net Fee’The typical GlobalGiving member had a
0% ‘net fee’ in 2014.
For every $15 that goes to the GlobalGiving fee, we drive, on average, an additional $20 to the nonprofit.

The Crowdfunding GamePutting the “Fun” in Fundraising
![Page 20: GlobalGiving's Online Fundraising Workshop, Washington DC 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062502/58ab59581a28abbc2a8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How it worksD
ivide yourselves into three teamsT
he objective: raise $5,000 from at least 40 donors in 5 days
Each team will have 10 hours of staff time each day to dedicate to, at most, 3 fundraising activities
At the start of each day, your team will collectively decide how to use the hours across different activities
At the end of the day, the results of your efforts will be
revealed!

Quick notesT
his game is trust-based: you are responsible for keeping track of your score, bonuses, and penalties – be honest!
This game is brand new! We are excited to use this as a learning tool and hope you are too. Let us know what you think at the end so we can make it better.
The results are randomized so there is no favoritism
Everything is fictional
This game was inspired by Trees for the Future (trees.org) that uses a similar tool to teach individuals about their farming initiatives.

Algorithms1
00,000 factors are taken into consideration when deciding what shows up on your fans’ newsfeed
Among these are:
• How much engagement your past posts have generated?• Which of your users are regularly engaging with your content?• How long it has been since you posted that post?• Are there photos, videos, or links included? • How many people have already engaged with your post?
More engagement = more visibility

Mobile-Friendly!E
ach year, the number of donors accessing GlobalGiving’s platform using a mobile device increases drastically
• In many countries, mobile access to the internet is easier to get than access through a desktop or computer
Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO) places a lot of emphasis on websites that are mobile-friendly
• This means that if your site is not mobile-friendly, it is harder to find in a Google search (on any device!)

onors want to know the impact that their donation is having on the ground
• Donors are more likely to continue giving if they understand how their donation was used

• It gives you an excuse to keep reaching out to them too!B
uilding trust with donors is crucial in developing strong relationships

ith charitable donations, trust is keyH

31
![Page 32: GlobalGiving's Online Fundraising Workshop, Washington DC 2015](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062502/58ab59581a28abbc2a8b4ad3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Managing your Advocate Network
Be sure to set clear, achievable goals for each advocate and review them with your advocates
Set progress check-ins to see how they are doing
• Makes them feel valued as a fundraiser• Also makes the advocates feel more accountable to achieving
their goals if they know you will reach out to themS
how appreciation! • It takes a lot of work to fundraise and you will probably want
their help again. Make sure your advocates feel appreciated. 32
