Going for gold: The playbook for international fundraising

Most nonprofits lose international donors not because of where they live, but because of friction in the giving experience: the wrong currency, a missing payment method, or an English-only donation form. In this webinar, Fundraise Up's Qasim Dewji (Principal Presales Engineer) and Rachael Nuwash (Senior Customer Success Manager) join Michael Johnston, founder of HJC, to break down the five pillars of a globally-ready giving experience: 1. Local currencies and payment methods 2. Multilingual donor journeys (not just translated forms) 3. Regional compliance (GDPR, Gift Aid, bilingual receipts, and more) 4. Donor retention at scale across markets 5. Scaling internationally without added headcount or complexity You'll hear real case studies and benchmarks from Greenpeace, Canadian Red Cross, Salvation Army UK, UNICEF USA, IFAA, UNFPA, and Make-A-Wish — including how Canadian Red Cross doubled year-end fundraising and how Salvation Army UK reached 49% average conversion versus an 11% sector benchmark. Whether you're a small nonprofit with donors who speak another language or a global org running campaigns across a dozen countries, this session gives you a concrete, prioritized roadmap for where to start. 00:00 Welcome & meet the speakers 05:18 Why multilingual giving matters for every nonprofit 10:02 Case study: Greenpeace's global fundraising evolution 17:17 Cross-border giving trends & where the opportunities are 25:29 The five pillars of globally-ready giving 40:40 The winning strategy: a 3-stage global roadmap 43:11 Resources & how to get started 44:06 Q&A and closing remarks Learn more about global fundraising with Fundraise Up: https://fundraiseup.com/use-cases/glo...
