Greetings Riding for the Disabled Association

Hi and welcome to the February 2019 edition of EasyGrants.

Our first edition for the year is a bumper one, because a lot has been going on at our parent enterprise Our Community <https://www.ourcommunity.com.au/?utm_campaign=ongoing&utm_medium=email&utm_source=fundingcentre.com.au> .

In this edition, we bring you more fundraising help including free crowdfunding webinars, help sheets, and help with social fundraising. There’s also an update about the latest features on your Funding Centre dashboard.

If you’re just here for the grants (and who could blame you?), download the PDF now. Happy grantseeking!

Looking for crowdfunding guidance?

If you want to harness the power of social fundraising but are not sure where to start, the Funding Centre’s Crowdfunding Help Centre <https://www.fundingcentre.com.au/crowd/help?utm_campaign=ongoing&utm_medium=email&utm_source=fundingcentre.com.au>  can help you find your way.

Crowdfunding is a great way to get funding for a specific project. It takes energy and creativity, but it can bring in much-needed funding and attract a whole new audience of supporters.

We cover the basics, with checklists, tips and help sheets to help you set up a crowdfunding project, promote your campaign and find, motivate and thank your supporters.

Time to revisit your fundraising policy?

Not-for-profit organisations are being urged to review their fundraising policy amid reports that mental health charity Beyond Blue rejected a $5000 donation after discovering that a Perth personal trainer raised the money from pornographic content uploaded on a subscription-based pornography platform.

Executive Director of the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) Patrick Moriarty (pictured) says having a fundraising policy ensures there is no uncertainty about what makes for an acceptable donation.

Get Angry. Then Get Organised. Communities in Control 2019 is here. 

The white-bread towns and suburbs we grew up in are now selling injera and hokkaido. Women are shouting, "Me too!" and "Time's up!" Gay people are getting hitched. Refugees are fighting back, shining a light on their plight tweet by agonizing tweet. Entire towns are opting out of the black power grid.

So how do we proceed? Tear it down and damn the consequences, or slow and steady wins the race? Is there a place in between? It’s up to us to decide. Come to Communities in Control <https://www.communitiesincontrol.com.au/?utm_campaign=ongoing&utm_medium=email&utm_source=fundingcentre.com.au>  2019 and do your bit.

Our Community House

A collaborative, creative, data-driven workplace for the social sector is opening in North Melbourne in February 2019.

Our Community House (OC House) is a world-first data-focussed co-working space for social sector organisations that brings together more than 400 not-for-profit and social enterprise (social sector) workers to share facilities, collaborate and rethink how change is made in Australia.

The building is designed to foster a fundamentally different work culture, one that respects its employees' desire for an authentic work-life balance, while offering the opportunity to shape the world.

It also includes the world’s first social innovation data science and communications lab, which is designed to help bring Australia’s social sector safely and productively into the data era.

Interested in a space? Enquire here <https://ochouse.com.au/contact>  or visit the website: https://ochouse.com.au/

Happy fundraising!
