Going Online for Kids Fundraisers

Have you ever tried dragging your kids to do the fundraising themselves?
After the third door you have knocked at, you hear them whining and complaining already. You end up bribing them with treats so as you may just go on beating the pavement. Or have you tried making them bake the goodies themselves? Chances are your goodies are not actually good enough to sell and to raise funds. Then online kids fundraising should be the next thing that you should try.

Safe and Legal

Though you also need to secure the necessary legal requirements to set up an online kids fundraiser event or website, you do not have to comply with a particularly stingy legal hurdle. Your old fashioned fundraising tactics involve going door to door or maybe holding an on-site event which federal laws require that each and every single minor be accompanied by an adult. With online fundraising, there is no need to comply with that requirement as there are no kids to actually look out after. You hurdle two birds with one stone, which is you hurdle the legality and the safety of the kids by simply doing your fundraising online.

A whole lot more profitable for your cause

Because you do your kids fundraising online, you no longer have to face expenses such as meals and transportation costs, not to mention the kiddie bribes you have to give away. Setting up an online fundraising account is fairly cheap or sometimes are even free. You no longer have to dip your hands into the collections envelope just to cover any costs as there are no costs to actually cover. All your collections, or at least most of it, go straight and directly to your cause.

Spread and reach farther

Ever since the advent of the internet age, each and every bit of information can and will reach the farthest corners of the world. Why would you prefer to contain your fundraising efforts within the confines of your physical community? Do your kids fundraising online and let the people in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Poles and the rest of the Americas know about your cause and likewise let them donate or give to it. Probably the only downside is that you no longer have an excuse to travel far and wide. But then, getting to travel is not really the purpose of raising funds but it is to raise funds for a noble cause. It is raising funds for the betterment of kids.

If you really want your kids fundraising event or gimmick to be as effective as you want it to be and even more, there is no other way but to do it online. You can even make an experiment just to prove this. Do both the online kids fundraiser one week, then an old-fashioned fundraising gimmick the other, or do both simultaneously, but make sure you separate funds collected for both. You will surely see the stark difference and you can likewise compare how much effort it took for your to raise the amount of money you did.
