The Workshop
We'll share the lessons we've learned from our most successful campaigns and how to apply them to your own cause. Our workshop covers the 5 Steps to a Successful Crowdfunding Campaign for Social Causes:
Find your crowd (figure out who is going to support your project and why)
Tell a specific, inspiring story that your supporters care about
Set an achievable target and blow it out of the park
Build early momentum
Create a marketing and promotion plan for your campaign
Connect you with our community of fundraisers for ongoing campaign support
The workshop also provides ample time for campaigners to pitch their initial campaign and for networking and one on one support. All workshop participants are also provided with a free one on one mentoring session one week after the workshop.
