By utilizing our powerful peer-to-peer fundraising platform, your thrift or resale store can expand its giving and turn gently used items into financial support for the people and causes you care about.
“Don’t give to get. Give to inspire others to give” -Simon Sinek
You already know your thriving thrift store is a breeding ground for BIG generosity.
As an integral part of the community, your store plays an important role in giving back. Whether you support one or several causes, your store is an inspiration for your neighbors and the community at large.
Do you want more ways to include your community and promote your cause?
If you support a school, an animal shelter, a foundation, a city service, or a family in need, then FunditOn can help you grow. Broaden your donor base, create more donor connections, and ease the burden of large donations by adding our powerful online platform to your store.
FunditOn will help you bring even more dollars to those who need it most.
Simply, safely, and conveniently.
How Does it Work?
As an extension of your store, a FunditOn campaign can be used to list and sell gently used items directly from person to person. All proceeds from these sales will go directly to the fund or organization that you support.
Imagine a customer walks into your store and notices a flyer on the wall: Help Support The Cats-a-Million Animal Shelter From the Comfort of Home. Intrigued, this customer asks how they can get involved.
“Leave the bike and bunk bed set at home. Instead of bringing them here for resale, these items can be listed on FunditOn. When you sell these items directly to a buyer, the animal shelter receives all the proceeds!”
Awesome, right?
You can save time, money, and store space by processing large or cumbersome items online, and at the same time promote greater awareness for the causes you care about.
