Cultural, religious, and marginalized communities have a tremendous amount of fundraising potential that is waiting to be unlocked. But how can your nonprofit reach these groups and encourage them to give?

Join us for an introduction to three giving apps that work closely with their community to raise more money. The presenters will share the lessons they’ve learned growing crowdfunding campaigns, and provide tips for how your own nonprofit can raise more money with your own community, building on its unique and authentic local voice and diversity.

This Public Good App House demo event will open with a special opening presentation from GivingTuesday's Lexa Wilson.
