Going for gold: The playbook for international fundraising

Key Insights

• This session isn't just for orgs already doing international fundraising: If you have donors who speak another language, live in another country, or pay a different way — join us!
• What a gold-standard giving experience looks like: Local payment methods, multilingual donor journeys, regional compliance, donor retention at scale, and the ability to launch across markets without added complexity — the five pillars every globally-ready organization has in place.
• Friction, not geography, is what limits generosity: Donors don't stop giving because they live in another country. They stop when the experience isn't built for them — wrong currency, missing payment method, English-only form.
• Global fundraising is more accessible than most organizations think: Whether you're turning on a second language for US Spanish speakers or running campaigns across a dozen markets, the infrastructure exists to meet donors wherever they are.
• You don't have to do everything at once: The organizations winning globally started somewhere. Quick wins like enabling digital wallets or adding a local payment method can unlock meaningful revenue before any larger lift is required.
