Big Wins from Small Tweaks

Date: 11 Nov 2025

💰 Practical online fundraising workshop for grassroot community organisations

Tuesday 11 November | 1:00–2:00 PM AEDT | Online (recorded), Interactive & Free

You’ve done the hard yards in fundraising - you have a strategy, a plan, and you’ve put in the hard work to put together a website and the fundraising page. But is that it?

After working with small and medium-sized not-for-profit organisations for over two decades, the team at GiveNow, Australia’s first and best all-in-one online fundraising platform for grassroots community groups, is joining Community Directors for a special webinar to share their knowledge and experience with you.

Join us for a hands-on, interactive workshop where we will show you exactly what works - no jargon, no fluff, with step-by-step live demonstrations and actionable takeaways with no technical expertise or marketing budget required.

🎈 And it’s FREE! Book your spot today.

What's unique about this workshop?

This is not a webinar – it's a practical and interactive online workshop. We will choose one attendee / organisation as a live case study and build / improve their fundraising campaign in real time - with input from AI and participants. You will see practical techniques in action and can shadow our steps on the platform.

What will I gain?

  • Tips on writing a compelling campaign copy that connects with donors (with free AI prompts you can take away).
  • The psychology behind donation forms that convert.
  • Step-by-step guidance on how to set up / customise a campaign.
  • Options to boost your fundraising: regular giving, peer-to-peer campaigns and more.

Is this for me?

This session is designed for grassroots community organisations and small-to-medium sized not-for-profits and charities. If you're juggling multiple hats and tight budgets, this session is designed for you. No technical expertise is required.

If you want to shadow our steps during the workshop, you can register a FREE account on GiveNow (zero set-up cost/subscription fees) before the session, and even give it a try if you are up for it!
