Hello charities, welcome to LeapAnywhere!
The home of having fun and doing good
For charities and good cause organizations, LeapAnywhere is a platform for gaining new supporters and further engaging existing supporters.
Our vision is to have every single charity event and volunteer activity in the world all on one site. Whether it's a summer BBQ raising funds for Botswana or a flash dance for your favorite dog charity or an Oxjam music gig for Oxfam. Big or small, local or national.
Our philosophy
The philosophy behind LeapAnywhere is that the best way to get people engaged emotionally and financially as a supporter is first and foremost through real-life events and activities. And the more fun, the better.
We encourage our charity partners to consider the life-time value of a supporter, both as an advocate/ambassador for their cause as well as a long-term source of funding.
LeapAnywhere is not a place to ask for direct donations. There are other great sites for that which we use and love.
Here is an example of a previous event organized using our site.
Absolutely free
It's absolutely free for individuals and charities to join and use the site. After joining you can add all of your upcoming events, campaigns and volunteer opportunities.
Events and activities with tickets or where people make on location donations are absolutely fine. And we suggest you include a link to your site where people can obviously make donations.
Over 200 charity partners
Since launching in June 2009, we have over 200 charity partners around the world including Oxfam, Wateraid, Amnesty International, Raising Malawi, Nelson Mandela's 46664, the Tony Hawk Foundation, Kanye West Foundation and many others. The full list is here.
So, let's get started. It's easy and free.
How it works
1. Fill out new charity form
This takes about 1 minute. Please include your charity number. Just go here after you have read the below.
2. Wait for your email confirmation
Takes anywhere from a few minutes to a day. We're just verifying your charity number.
3. Create your charity profile
A brief description, logo and image. We then automatically create a section of the website created for your organization. You are also asked to add links to your homepage, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and your online shop (if applicable). Attracts more followers and the number of links into your site which is good for Google page rank.
4. Add upcoming events or campaigns
From your charity page click "Create a leap". A Leap is any event or action that benefits your charity, either through raising awareness or a bit of money for a good cause.
To see more about adding events, click here. These events and activities will be visible on your page and be promoted on the LeapAnywhere homepage and in direct email blasts to LeapAnywhere users. Make the description fun and creative.
Additional ways we can be helpful
NOTE: You can also email any general questions or requests for the below at charities[at]leapanywhere.com:
- If your charity is in the UK, ask us to create a Justgiving widget which will go on your section of the site. Here is an example. If your charity is not in the UK for now you can just add a link to any site you are using to collect ticket proceeds or donations. If your event is not a fundraiser, ignore this point.
- If your charity is based in London, you can also request for a volunteer photographer and/or film crew (through LeapAnywhereTV-see below) to cover your upcoming events. One of our team will get in touch with you within a few hours. This is a free service we provide to help raise more awareness for the ways people can have fun and do good. We will soon be offering this for other cities around the UK and in the US.
- NEW! You can now request a Meet our Charity video which we help you make. It is a short online video you make and we edit (including a cool song of course) with quickfire, fun interaction with people in your organization. For London based charities, we send a camera crew directly or for other charities we send a small video camera through the mail. This video will appear on your charity page on the site (and on your own website and social networks if you want) and we will also promote that on LeapAnywhere home page. Coming soon.
LeapAnywhereTV is our online media platform that produces professional-quality videos of charity events completely free of charge, which are then available to use on your charity's website and in any other promotions you may want to carry out.
