ActionStorm is the campaigning tool for those who want to build movements, not just collect signatures.
The team behind ActionStorm have worked on thousands of campaigns, spanning charity, social enterprise, social justice and activism, and have helped raise millions of pounds for the organisations behind them.
“We are tired of being asked to do the bare minimum for the causes we care about”
- Dan Pallotta, from a TED talk entitled 'The way we think about charity is dead wrong'
We know change is messy. It requires more than just signatures on a piece of paper. It requires us to build movements that inspire 1000s of people to take action in pursuit of a common goal.
We had been looking for a great petition tool for the activists we work with to use, but felt let down by each. With other platforms, they either don't allow you to contact your supporters after they've signed, are too expensive, or are too easy to brush aside by those in charge. We couldn't find a single platform that did what we needed it to do... so we built it.
ActionStorm is free to use, you're in control of your data, you can ask supporters to take further action and it's directly integrated into fundraising for your organisation. You can start a campaign and go live in minutes.
We're entirely funded by the fundraising we do for other organisations. So all we ask is that if you're looking to do some fundraising alongside your campaign, come and talk to us. In most cases, we would love to help.
