ShaperAid

A Global Shapers cross-Hub initiative

Build a humanitarian campaign that can actually run.

ShaperAid helps Global Shapers turn locally grounded humanitarian needs into credible, actionable campaigns — with a practical framework for trust, delivery, communications and cross-Hub support.

Use it to explore an idea, prepare a launch, strengthen a campaign already underway, or work with ShaperAid when its platform and network add value.

Get started — build your campaignExplore campaigns

Start privately in your browser, then optionally save a private copy to continue anywhere. Nothing is shared with ShaperAid until you choose to request support. Not sure yet? Take the 2-minute idea check.

How the product fits together

Build privately → involve ShaperAid → run it together → report the outcome.

  1. 01

    Campaign Workspace

    Private preparation

    No account needed. Everything stays in your browser except what you deliberately submit.

  2. 02

    Request ShaperAid support

    A reviewed snapshot is shared

    You choose the support you need and see the exact information that goes to the ShaperAid team.

  3. 03

    Campaign Manager

    Shared coordination

    Opens only after ShaperAid confirms support — a shared record for the campaign you run together.

Requesting support is not an application and does not imply endorsement. Your campaign stays yours at every step.

ShaperAid in action

Real responses, kept on the record.

Every campaign run through the ShaperAid cross-Hub model stays public after it closes — including what was raised, who delivered it, and what was never published.

Where are you now?

Start from the stage you are in.

  1. 01

    I have an idea

    Check whether the need fits ShaperAid's humanitarian scope and what you need before turning it into a campaign.

    Explore the idea
  2. 02

    I’m preparing a campaign

    Use the readiness checks, partner and fund-route guidance, campaign brief and communications plan before launch.

    Get campaign-ready
  3. 03

    I already have a campaign

    Review trust, messaging, coordination and accountability. Use the tools even if you do not need ShaperAid to operate or amplify it.

    Strengthen my campaign

You do not need to become a ShaperAid campaign to use the framework.

How it works

Three steps, in public.

  1. 01

    Ground the need

    Understand the humanitarian need with local and affected-community input.

  2. 02

    Build the campaign

    A trusted partner and fund route, a team, a campaign brief and communications capacity.

  3. 03

    Mobilize & report

    Launch, coordinate, amplify and publish what actually happened.

What to expect

Know what to expect from us.

ShaperAid can help with

  • Campaign framework and readiness checks
  • Partner and fund-route guidance, plus trust practices
  • Campaign brief, checklists, templates and media assets
  • Communications and cross-Hub coordination guidance
  • A campaign page and ShaperAid amplification for campaigns we work on
  • Connections to ShaperAid coordinators or supporting capacity where available

Your campaign still needs

  • A locally grounded need and context
  • A named campaign lead and clear owners
  • A credible NGO, delivery or fund relationship
  • An actual donation and fund route
  • Capacity to create, publish and update content — or a remote support lead who can
  • Reporting and accountability after fundraising

ShaperAid does not hold donations, guarantee an NGO partner, guarantee fundraising results, or automatically run day-to-day campaign execution.
