Website Competition
ActionSkills is gifting a professional website package to a NFP, independent or grassroots group who plan to scale their online campaigning.
We have created our website package to make online campaigning more affordable for small groups who are doing the hard work of creating positive change in our world.
Our package includes a custom website, campaign database, fundraising tools and training on using the tools worth $2800. For specific details on the package please see our ActionSkills website and database package.
We are also gifting hosting and our Care Plan which includes management, updating, monitoring and updating of your website for a year.
You will also win a 2 hr mentoring session with the ActionSkills strategy team to review and build upon your digital strategy. Nat, Phil, Emily and Glenn each have many years of diverse experience working in and with grassroots campaign groups.
