If you want to raise money for charity, fundraising can
be done online using various free fundraising tools that are available
in websites. Internet surfers can become possible donors. The first
thing to do is to create a website and make your presence known online.
With a website or a web page, this will get you money from donors with
just a click of the mouse. A website will allow you to make a
fundraising event, do an online auction, accept donations and sell event
fundraiser tickets.
Once you have a website, you can do all the preparations and
invitations of a fundraising event. You can hold a dinner-concert where
the proceeds will go to your favorite charity. You can invite donors to
the event through your website which contains all the necessary
information of your activity. They can buy the tickets online using
their credit cards and confirm their attendance there. This will save
you and your donor time and money spent on communication.
With your website, you can do fundraising online by accepting
donations. A donor can just give your organization money using his
credit card. For this, you will need a tool to be used on your website
that will allow you to collect money via e-transaction. Make sure your
site has a donor’s page and make it informative, attractive and
compelling enough to capture people’s interest and encourage them to
donate.
Donating via credit cards is a way of showing that your
organization is professional and legitimate and because of its
convenience and accessibility, it will encourage supportive people who
are far away to donate.
You can also sell event fundraising tickets
via your website. People who are interested to attend the fundraising
activity you have organized, such as a benefit concert, can with just
one click and purchase many tickets at once. They no longer need to go
to an office to buy the tickets thus saving them time and money. For
your part, selling tickets online will allow you to make an easy
inventory as online ticket sales can be immediately documented and
easily tracked.
You can also conduct online auctions with your website. Ask your
family, friends and members of your organizations to donate some things
and sell them online. You can also enter into agreement with other
websites that do online auctions and bid items with them. You share the
profits, depending on your agreement. Donors will purchase something
they do need and be able to contribute to the less fortunate or to the
cause you are fighting for.
When you have a fundraising event advertised in your website, you can
add a Sponsors Page where individuals and businesses can place their
ads. They just need to upload their ad and pay for it via credit card.
This will earn you money and give your donors exposure. You can also
tie-up with a fundraising website that will allow you to create a web
page with them. There, you can have free fundraising where you invite
people to donate to you while the website owner manages the page for
you.
With these fundraising ideas, your noble cause will surely succeed.
