Online Fundraising – Raise Money Online – Fast and Easy!
As you know, amongst the many issues that I espouse in my writings, funding and fundraising ranks up high on the list. Raising money is hard enough these days in the real world, to raise money online still poses a daunting engagement. There are many aspects that need to be addressed: how to get set up, running and producing donations. The web is all about facilitation (getting traffic establishing access and making interaction as easy as possible). The skill set needed to accomplish all these things is oftentime not present in the non-profit or fund raising group. The Internet for most organizations is a recent “add-on†to their stakeholder relationship model and was not an essential skill consideration when hires were made just a few years ago. Now it should be an essential skill for any new hires in the non-profit sector – especially for the fundraising department or committee / task teams.
Because of this fact, the organization or group needing to raise funds, faces an expensive and time consuming project to bring their fund raising online and to get things just right. Afterall, you didn’t spent countless days and years building your organization just to look shoddy on line and expect donations to come rolling in! While it may seem all too obvious that you need a donation, the trust factor is poorly addressed by most of the websites that organizations have on the web – and promotion is a challenge even in the real world.
While real world techniques need to be polished even further, in most organizations, it is essential that online venues keep up to par with the latest in technology and in contributor conversion and retention. These all translate into a need to have a well thought out web campaign – to the same degree as it is for off line “real world†campaigns. It’s success depends on the quality of platform an organization engages it’s potential supporters with. Failing, in this vital process, will prevent the majority of contributions from being transacted for your organization or group and, in on-line terms, this amounts to fundraising “suicideâ€!
