Supporting Nonprofit Organizations in 2013


Nonprofit Fundraising in 2013 and into the Future…

  Most fundraising today is done via tried and tested methods that are currently accepted by most. Planning for months at a time through committee meetings, asking a multitude of businesses and vendors for donations, arranging a venue to hold the fundraising event, finding entertainment, trying to get local media to get the word out so people will attend your event, ordering supplies, picking up last minute details, setting up, coordinating volunteers, selling raffles, holding silent auctions, collecting funds, depositing funds, etc., etc.  The list goes on and on for the multitude of details involved when fundraising using the traditional or typical model. The end result is often not proportionate to the effort put forth by committee members and volunteers holding these traditionally held events…a huge amount of time and effort, for a small percentage of results. As the economic numbers shrink, the donation dollars shrink too.
  When I found Market America / Shop.com and the Nonprofit Fundraising Program they have, I was completely surprised. I thought to myself, “can this be real, isn’t it too good to be true”? So I looked into the ma/Shop.com nonprofit program I found a complete paradigm shift in the fundraising available to not for profit organizations. Nothing this simple and easy has been offered before for nonprofit fundraising. Visit:
www.nonprofitfundraising1.com to see for yourself.
  Free web portals are assigned to each participating nonprofit organization. There is no cost at all for the Market America / Shop.com web portal. There is a one page form to be filled out and approved. Then within two weeks you and the charitable organization you support can have a fully functional web portal dedicated to your nonprofit. The hardest part is getting the word out to your supporters, and I say that with a smile on my face because, simply through word of mouth great opportunities like this spread quickly. By purchasing the basic necessities and everyday items the supporters would spend money on anyway, they generate personal cash back through the web portal and fundraise at the same time. This concept is known as “transfer buying”, also a new design in nonprofit fundraising. Supporters raise money for the nonprofit buy purchasing what they would be buying on an everyday basis anyway…thus, “transferring” the purchasing power of their shopping dollars.
   I know, I know, it sounds too good to be true. It’s easy, easy, easy…no catch, no hidden charges, and no tricks. Market America/Shop.com sets up a free web portal for any nonprofit/charitable organization. Then the supporters transfer money they are already spending to the web portal and buy the everyday things they are buying anyway. Then ma/shop.com donates back to the nonprofit…how’s that song go? ”Money for nothing”…la, la, la!
   How very reassuring it is to know that even in the face of economic pressure and donation deficits, there are companies and individuals who are still willing to create programs that support not for profit organizations. Examples and demonstration videos are readily available at the links listed above and web portals at:

Fundraiser of the Future...


  Have you been looking for fundraising ideas that go beyond the traditional bake sale, garage sale or silent auction? Does the thought of going to local small businesses to ask them for donations…again, make you cringe? Only to put so much time, effort and resources into collecting items for a silent auction that you know there is no chance of ever getting a return on your investment. Do you ever feel that you are running out of fundraising ideas? Are you at the point that you don’t know what you are going to do for your next fundraiser?

  What if I told you that you could have a fundraiser that would be able to generate revenue 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year? No more renting a banquet hall. No more hitting up over burdened small businesses for stuff to auction off. How would knowing you had marked down your last batch of left over cupcakes at the last minute because they didn’t sell, make you feel? Especially great is the thought of never watching over another yard sale for three days just to make a few dollars! Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Check out: www.nonprofitfundraising1.com and see for your self.

  If any of this sounds familiar to you then please take a look at this new fundraising idea I have found. Through Market America/Shop.com you can get a free web portal for any 501c3 Nonprofit Organization. This is NOT a bait & switch scheme or an internet scam. Market America/Shop.com is established in seven countries (USA, Canada, Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Australia, and United Kingdom) and is the largest online retailer in the world. There is no “catch” to the Nonprofit Fundraising Program offered by ma/Shop.com. Every nonprofit with 501c3 tax exempt status is eligible for to participate. It’s incredibly simple and easy too!

  Contact a ma/Shop.com UnFranchised Business Owner and get a copy of the sponsor application, fill it out and return it. Within two weeks you and you Nonpfrofit Organization can have a fully functional eCommerce web portal for your supports to shop. Through everyday purchases and buying basic needs items they would normally spend money on, your supporters automatically fund your nonprofit account. This concept of “transfer buying” is unlike any other fundraising idea anywhere.

  You don’t handle any inventory or ship anything. There are no sign up sheets for parents to take to work and get everyone to buy fruit, pastry, candles or popcorn they don’t need. You show them the web portal, they buy stuff they need and you watch the revenue grow! It really is that easy, easy, easy!

Nonprofit Fundraising in 2013


  Have you been wondering, “How to start a nonprofit organization”? Are you and the members of your existing nonprofit organization planning a fundraiser or looking for fundraising ideas? Maybe you are looking for a way to help your favorite charitable organization raise revenue and grow their bottom line. You could even be wondering, "what is a nonprofit organization".

  In the uncertain economic climate of today, fundraising can be very difficult. Even with the best of intentions, the end result continues to be more and more uncertain for the nonprofit fundraisers. When the consumers struggle to pay their bills, keep a roof over their heads and put food on the table, the amount of donations continues to shrink. This only compounds the difficulty for fundraisers and for supporters. The nonprofit organization ends up with less, which prevents them from helping as many people as they have in the past and the supporters feel stressed because they are unable to give as much as they want to.

  Most fundraising today is done via tried and tested methods that are currently accepted by most. Planning for months at a time through committee meetings, asking a multitude of businesses and vendors for donations, arranging a venue to hold the fundraising event, finding entertainment, trying to get local media to get the word out so people will attend your event, ordering supplies, picking up last minute details, setting up, coordinating volunteers, selling raffles, holding silent auctions, collecting funds, depositing funds, etc., etc.  The list goes on and on for the multitude of details involved when fundraising using the traditional or typical model. The end result is often not proportionate to the effort put forth by committee members and volunteers holding these traditionally held events…a huge amount of time and effort, for a small percentage of results. As the economic numbers shrink, the donation dollars shrink too.
