And when it comes to keeping those international donors engaged? That's an entirely new challenge altogether.

You’re getting a lot of things right: 
You're crafting compelling stories about your international work, translating your materials into multiple languages, and utilizing social media to reach a global audience.

But... if you're being really honest, you're still struggling to connect with donors across different cultures. Despite your efforts, you're not seeing the level of engagement or long-term commitment from international donors that you'd hoped for. 

You put in A LOT of work to find these donors, but retaining them and turning them into consistent supporters feels like an uphill battle. Sometimes, you wonder if the extra effort required for international fundraising is truly worth it, especially when local fundraising seems so much more straightforward.

You're left questioning whether there are strategies or approaches you're missing that could make your international fundraising efforts more effective and sustainable in the long run.

You know that finding international donors requires a completely different fundraising approach compared to attracting national donors.

Maybe right now you...

How do I know whether this summit is right for me?

If you’re curious about international fundraising, this event is for you! We’ll be specifically talking to international nonprofits and focusing on how to find and retain new donors, but anyone else who wants to get started with international fundraising is welcome to join us. 

HAVE QUESTIONS? WE’VE GOT ANSWERS

When is this event happening?

The main portion of the summit runs from 10 - 11 October 2024. You’ll also be able to join our private Slack community as soon as you register, so you can join in on the fun right away! 

What if I’m not able to attend live?

All presentations will be presented live, so we encourage you to attend live if you can! We would love for you to set aside some time during the summit week to attend the live sessions, and participate in the Slack community with others who are fundraising for international nonprofits.

However, if you’re not able to attend all of the sessions live, we recommend that you upgrade to the Global Fundraiser All Access Pass for access to presentations for up to one year after the Summit. Replay access is only available to Global Fundraiser All Access Pass ticket holders. 

How long will I have access to the presentations?

Your free ticket includes live access to the Summit sessions. If you need more time, you can always upgrade your ticket to the Global Fundraiser All Access Pass, which will give you extended access to the presentations for up to one year after the Summit, along with premium bonuses and exclusive training sessions!  

Are the presentations live?

Yes! All Summit sessions are presented live. Speakers will be hanging out in our private Slack group with dedicated threads where you can connect with them and ask your questions! 

Will all the speakers get my email address?

No. When you register, you’ll be added to the Fundraising Beyond Border’s email list so we can send you updates for the event and links to each day’s presentations. After the summit is over, you’ll continue to hear from us, but you can unsubscribe at any time. 

The speakers will not get your email address unless you choose to give it to them specifically. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to email lists that you're not interested in.

You can learn more in our Privacy Policy.

I still have questions! 

If you still have questions, we encourage you to go ahead and sign up. Your questions will likely be answered during the event or in the Slack community, which you’ll be able to join right away after grabbing your free ticket. 

However, if you need to ask us a question before registering, feel free to send us an email at hello@fundraisingbeyondborders.com.
