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.

  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.

  So if you are like I was and you are asking yourself if this is too good to be true check out: www.nonprofitfundraising1.com for more details and also visit: http://www.unlimitedlifestyles.com/non-profit-program-4.asp
