Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving and this year it takes place November 29th 2022.
Individuals, organisations and businesses can support charities and the initiative with donations, time, or action.
At Guild we’re delighted to be taking part in #GivingTuesday for a fourth year by offering an enterprise version of Guild for free to qualifying UK and US charities.
What is Guild’s contribution to Giving Tuesday?
Charities need to connect efficiently with a range of stakeholders. Supporters, volunteers, members, employees, trustees and beneficiaries all need to stay in touch.
Guild is a GDPR-compliant, ad-free mobile-first platform for communities, groups and networks that’s easy to use.
This #GivingTuesday Guild has a new gift for registered charities in the UK and US who qualify for the offer and sign up before 28th February 2023.
We'll provide your charity with a free enterprise version of Guild and expert community building support to help make your charity community a success.
And whether you decide to take up the offer or not, you are invited to join a dedicated community for charity and non-profit professionals on Guild.
How do I sign up for the Giving Tuesday Guild offer?
It's simple.
You need to be a registered charity in the UK or US with a turnover of less than £5million or $5 million - see the terms and conditions below.
To take advantage of the offer, email our support team at [email protected]
They will help to get you set up and we'll help your charity get the most out of using Guild for your communities and groups with customer success support.
These benefits are normally only available as part of our Enterprise plan.
How can charities use Guild?
Connecting with stakeholders and varied audiences can be complicated, time-consuming and costly for charities.
Guild simplifies communications by allowing you to create professional, GDPR-compliant groups, networks and communities that are mobile-first and easy to use - and they can be set up in minutes.
Charities can use Guild to support a range of use cases, for example:
- Co-ordinate volunteers and their work (see how Bookmark uses Guild to connect its team of volunteers)
- Activate your supporters or donors with a supporter or donor community
- Create trustee, advisory or alumni groups to keep them up to date with news, activities and research
- Create communities for regional groups, sector groups or programme groups
(see how Habitat for Humanity uses Guild to co-ordinate volunteers for house-builds) - Create working groups for specific projects and campaigns (e.g. marketing, grants, fundraising or research)
- Manage fundraising events or programmes - instantly and securely message and update your team, staff or volunteers
- Organise and record board meetings or AGMs (see how Spotlight YOPD simplifies board communications with Guild and how The Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action brings AGM attendees together on Guild )
What can you do with a Guild group?
- Customise and brand your groups
- Create safe, separate GDPR-compliant groups for different stakeholders and audiences
- Let your members network and connect safely
- Integrate with your CRM or other platforms using Zapier
- Host livestreams and video events and meetups
- Manage multiple communities from a single account
- Host separate threaded chats to keep things organised
- Pin posts so that important information is always available
- Have private and secure member profiles – or make them public to raise your charity’s profile
- Analyse activity and engagement in your community to keep improving it
