Join the hundreds of volunteers of all ages who engage their friends, family members and business associates in their charitable efforts through online fundraising. Fifty percent of each donation is tax-deductible for U.S. tax-payers. You can do this even if you've never raised funds before using our personalized web fundraising tool. Getting started is a simple and friendly process:
1. Choose your service program and budget. Determine if you qualify for any discounts and add your transportation costs (airfare, other travel to the host community) to your service program fee for a total fundraising budget.
2. Create your personal fundraising page. Use our customized fundraising tool to request and track funds online. As part of the process, you may also customize appeals for each potential donor you wish to contact. You may upload your own photos and message to lend the "personal touch" to your page.
3. Keep your donors updated on your progress. The tools on your personal fundraising page will help you keep donors informed about your fundraising progress. In addition, some institutional funders may require a summary of your service experience. Don't delay in thanking them and giving them what they ask for! Please request additional assistance and ideas from your volunteer coordinator.
It's that simple! What's best, "social fundraising" has become common through appeals such as walk-a-thons, marathons and the like...so your online effort follows this trend. Be as conventional or creative as you desire!
