Social change crowdfunding is fundamentally about storytelling. This session will help you identify your social change story and how this can be a tool for engaging with supporters and rallying your community.

The session will also explore several case studies of both successful and unsuccessful social change crowdfunding campaigns.

What is #GivingTuesday?

This year, on 3 December, we are encouraging Australian businesses, not-for-profits, charities, community groups, families and individuals to join a global movement and celebrate a day of giving to kick off the giving season. We're calling this day #GivingTuesday.

#GivingTuesday was started in 2012 by New York's 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation. Together, they rallied different sectors together to 'give back' and support local not-for-profits, causes and communities. The inaugural #GivingTuesday saw over 2500 not-for-profit and business partners participate in different ways that not only resulted in awareness being raised of key issues but also a significant increase in giving on that day.

Now it's time for Australians to give back and show the world what we can do together.
