About the Instructor

When Tania Burstin introduced the concept of online fundraising to the Australian market back in 2007, it was the first donation platform of its kind ever seen in the country.

“After years of volunteering my time for various charitable organisations, I realised the complexity and inefficiency of ‘cash-in-hand’ fundraising, which inspired me to find a solution.”

Seven years later, mycause is now an award winning crowdfunding platform for personal and charitable causes, helping raise more than $35 million through its network of 129,000 members.

Tania is the driving force behind the brand and is passionate about her bike, her family, her business and great food and travel … (in that order).

mycause is Australia's premier online fundraising & crowdfunding site for causes where people can raise money for charities, projects or people that matter to them. Founded in 2007 mycause is fully Australian owned and provides a complete product suite of donation and fundraising products to over 1800 charity partners as well as an innovative crowdfunding platform for the public to raise money for causes that matter to them.
