It’s essential for fundraising campaigns to spend time thinking about different aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion and then figure out how to build that in to their fundraising goals.
From sustainability to accessibility, FunditOn is transforming the school fundraising landscape.
Imagine a fundraiser that reaches more people, is great for the environment, uses a safe payment platform, and takes only a few minutes to get started!
FunditOn is the platform you’ve been waiting for.
It’s a fundraiser that will engage your community and turn donated goods and services in your community into direct dollars for your school.
Number 1: Turning donations in kind into school dollars
Everyone has something to give and FunditOn makes it possible to accept all kinds of donations and we think that is going to level the fundraising playing field.
Now your diverse, creative community can donate far beyond cash donations. Local artisans, small businesses and services can be offered to your community and sold in your own marketplace to your community. As the holidays approach imagine a place where your community can offer donation in kind and also purchase them for holiday gifts?
Number 2: Eco Friendly
Online resale shops are a billion-dollar industry in the US. From clothing to tools and everything in between, repurposing and reselling has become as easy as clicking a button.
FunditOn is committed to the idea that sustainability can be profitable. We take this idea to heart through our marketplace where lightly used goods stay out of landfill and instead become financial support for the causes you care about.
When your school starts a FunditOn cause, your community will be turning its garage sale treasures and gently used items into cash for your school. And also makes needed items affordable to your community. That’s a win-win for everybody.
Number 3: Reaching a broad community of supporters
You are constantly challenged to make school fundraisers fresh and useful for parents and families. Furthermore, many individuals who would love to support local education find a barrier in traditional sales, auctions, and pledge drives.
But with FunditOn, even an item donation valued at $5 can make a difference.
By asking district families, educators, and parent groups to utilize your marketplace, you build an inclusive core of supporters for your school. Even when a monetary donation is difficult, individuals can find a way to be involved in taking care of their local school district.
And the best part? FunditOn can be accessed by anyone in your surrounding area (offering shipping on your items opens it up even more!). By choosing your school campaign, community members that have never donated before have just become new supporting partners.
Thousands of users on FunditOn can fund your organization at the click of a button.
Number 4: Taking the guesswork out of donations
Organizing and administering a school fundraiser is not a task for the faint of heart. There is so much to consider when it comes to collecting money and reaching the largest possible audience.
Lucky for you, FunditOn is a one-stop-shop.
When donations are made we make it easy for you to issue tax receipts by providing you donor names and emails of those that wish to share them with you.
No more cash boxes or checks to collect. We’ll make sure funds are transferred safely and all proceed dollars go directly to your school.
So, are you ready to get started?
Launching Your School’s Fundraiser
Getting started with FunditOn is easy. In fact, it only takes a few minutes to set up your school’s cause.
Once your cause is live, it’s time to spread the word! Reach out to parents and community members about your fundraiser. Social media, Facebook groups, local libraries, and word of mouth are great ways to let people know about FunditOn’s marketplace.
Next, it’s time to get to work listing items. You can start by cleaning out your garage, attic, and closets and find items to list for sale.
The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to our peer-to-peer selling platform. If you can sell it, you can fundraise it!
Focus on tapping into your community’s creativity. Many individuals have small businesses and would be happy to contribute. Ask local artisans to sell candles, paintings, jewelry, soaps, and other handmade goods.
Fundraising for a sports team or extra-curricular activity? Consider donating supplies and new equipment that might interest these students and their families.
The excitement comes when you let people give from not only their wallets but also their hearts. With things they love, no longer need, or can create anew.
And now watch as members of your community list, sell, and buy items that support their local schools.
Happy fundraising!
