As a social changemaker, you know that fundraising isn’t just about money—it’s about connection, creativity, and community ownership. One way to unlock fresh energy and ideas in your fundraising efforts is by using Liberating Structures—simple yet powerful facilitation techniques that encourage inclusive participation and collective problem-solving.
Whether you're planning a donor event, brainstorming new campaigns, or mobilizing local resources, these tools can help everyone in your team or community contribute meaningfully. Explore the full toolkit at www.liberatingstructures.org.
Want to take it a step further? At Change the Game Academy, we offer free online courses on local fundraising and mobilising support, designed specifically for changemakers in the Global South. These courses help you build practical skills to raise funds locally, strengthen partnerships, and shift the power to local communities.
For example: turn the world upside down with TRIZ, to explore which behaviours would lead you to lose all of your funding. Try using Liberating Structures like 1-2-4-All in your next team meeting to co-create a fundraising plan, or Appreciative Interviews to reflect on what’s already working well in your fundraising strategy. The possibilities are endless—and the results can be transformative.
Let’s change the game together—starting with how we fundraise. Interested to know more? There are good training options out there. We have been trained by the Agile Scrum Group.
