Step-by-step: How to join the Accelerator Program

Most nonprofit teams are stretched thin. You juggle nonprofit operations, emails, social posts, and fundraising campaigns with a small staff and a tight budget. The tools you use can automate your work and take donations, but they don't support you through the next steps. Campaigns stall. Donors drift. Your team works hard without a clear plan or support.

That is the gap the Accelerator fills. It gives you a simple path, expert guidance, and ongoing support so you aren’t figuring it out alone. You get a clear plan to run campaigns the right way and focus your time on the work that actually moves the needle. Think of it as a coach plus a playbook alongside the tools you already have.

Now let’s walk through the step-by-step process to join, see what’s included, and learn how to make the most of it.

So, what exactly is the Accelerator Program?

The Accelerator Program is built for nonprofits that want to grow their fundraising with support that goes beyond basic tools. This is a three-year guided program where we work closely with you to build a strategy, support your goals, and help you raise more without the stress.

We stay with you through the process to offer one-on-one guidance, expert insights, and regular check-ins.

And we back it up with a simple promise: if you don’t raise more in three years, we’ll refund your program fee and donate up to $10,000 to your cause.

The program is open to U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status. If your organization brings in $50,000 or more in annual donations, you qualify for the full guarantee.

Here’s what we include:

• A detailed onboarding session where we learn about your mission and shape a customized plan for your fundraising
• Regular expert tips and updates through our member newsletter
• Quarterly webinars and workshops led by fundraising experts
• Semi-annual review calls to track your progress and fine-tune your plan
• Priority support for your team and your donors
• Access to exclusive insights and trend briefings

Everything is built on top of our free fundraising tools, such as donation pages, auctions, and crowdfunding.

In short, you’re getting a full support system built to help you grow with real results.

How to join the Accelerator Program: Step-by-step guide

Getting started with the Accelerator Program is simple. Here’s how you can sign up and begin the process:

Step 1: Go to the program page

Visit Betterworld Accelerator. You’ll see a “Join the program now” button. Click it to begin the sign-up process.

Step 2: Select your pricing tier

You’ll be asked to choose a tier based on your organization’s annual donation volume. The fee you pay depends on that tier. Once selected, your rate is locked in for the full three years.

You can pay monthly or choose the yearly option at a lower total cost.

Step 3: Confirm and pay

Before checking out, you'll be shown the program terms. These explain how the program works and outline what’s expected from both sides. After you’ve agreed to the terms, enter your payment details through the secure checkout system.

That completes your enrollment.

Step 4: Book your onboarding call

Right after payment, you’ll be prompted to schedule your first call. This one-on-one session helps set the tone for your time in the program. It's your chance to share your goals and upcoming plans so we can get to work.

Step 5: Start using the program

Once you're in, your tools and resources become available. You’ll be guided through what to do next, where to access updates, and how to reach support when needed.

That’s it. Five steps and you’re in. No drawn-out approval process or back-and-forth. Just a clear path to start building better campaigns—with a plan that fits where your nonprofit is headed.
