Concept

FundRaiserIdea.org publishes websites for use by non-profit organizations to provide valuable daily services or products for their patrons, constituents, supporters, and/or members while funding the sponsor group or rewarding the member or patron with a portion of each transaction as appreciation for previous participation.
Organizations select one of these three options when fund raising sites get implemented in their name, these may be changed later if desired.

1. A pure fundraising site where all eligible funds route directly to the organization as a donation. Note Financial Firebird adds an extra 1% to the donation when organizations select this option.
2. A shared benefit site where some of the eligible funds go to the consumer or patron as a discount and some of the funds flow to the organization. People may elect to waive their share and donate more to the organization, in which case Financial Firebird adds an extra 1% to the fundraising efforts.
3. A member or sponsor appreciation site where people who have volunteered, helped in the past or simply maintain membership in your organization get the advantage of all of the eligible funds as a discount. With this option, they may elect to use their funds as an additional donation to the organization, in which case another 1% from Financial Firebird gets added to the fundraiser.

On top of funds raised through purchases using the sites, links for direct donations remain displayed for patrons to give even more while they have your organization in mind. For organizations without a direct donation mechanism set up, we can create a direct donation page for use not only in conjunction with this system, but for use in accepting donations from people wishing to place donations on their credit card or debit card for any other fundraiser you may have.

Corporations or other people or entities may use the system to help raise funds for their favorite cause. For example a business looking to raise money for a particular charity may use the sites to sponsor a particular charity where their customers or employees use the system and eligible funds raised result in donations charity.

Making money for your organization through the FundRaiserIdea.org system costs nothing; just set up the sites and get people to use them.
