Our crowdfunding websites are specialized systems that make use of campaign oriented marketing processes and social media platforms to raise funds. While many people associate crowdfunding websites with start-up projects or special causes, they can also be incredibly successful at raising funds for non-profit organizations. This can be done by using a reward-based crowdfunding website system designed to present sponsor, individual, and team fundraising campaigns, dedicated for your non-profit organization.
Functionality
1) Our crowdfunding systems can be stand-a-lone websites or accessed from a link from your home page. They present a menu system of website pages to present content regarding your organization and the functions of the crowdfunding system.
2) The site features business sponsor ads on the home page. Each clicks through to a detailed sponsor page that describes the products/services of the sponsor and discount coupons offered, if any, to serve as “rewards” to encourage donations. Each sponsor ad is also a fundraising campaign to help the non-profit. Each sponsor campaign displays their goal, the funds raised, lists backers, and keeps a tally of the rewards purchased and remaining.
3) Individuals can also register to participate as a fundraiser. They set a goal, create or join a team, and use integrated social links to invite family & friends to donate to the non-profit. A campaign progress bar is associated with each individual and team campaign.
4) Donations made through sponsor ads can be attributed to an individual fundraiser to help them and their team meet their goals.
5) “Reward” coupons offered by sponsors, or a ticket to the pancake breakfast, as applicable, encourage donations and are emailed to the donor as a “thank you” for contributing to the non-profit.
6) A “hero” table may be presented on the home page to recognize the most active individual and team fundraisers.
