Why should we use this donation site? Using the site allows coaches, administrators, and parents to focus on the children or activity at hand. Selling doughnuts, cookie dough, popcorn and candy requires planning, inventory and collecting money from friends and neighbors. Quite honestly, these items are purchased only as a sense of obligation to you and your child. The products are most often overpriced and useless. Most of your potential donors would much rather give directly to your cause, eliminating the excessive fees charged by most product based fundraisers. These fees often exceed 70% of the total amount collected from the sales of these items. This results in significantly less funding for your organization's goals despite much hard work on the part of your children, parents, coaches, etc. The ourFUND registry virtually eliminates the need to turn your children into salesmen and minimizes the time spent on raising money for your fundraising goals. BACK TO TOP Is the donation page hard to set up? Your personal donation page can be completed in minutes! All you need to get started are a few photos and a basic outline for your message. Our staff will gladly assist you if you need help. We can also offer helpful suggestions on the content of the message, and can help identify potential donors in your community. BACK TO TOP How will I know how much to ask for? We suggest that you only seek donations from close friends and family. This may include relatives, family friends, parent associates, and business owners in your community. They may also include former teachers and your church family, to name a few. Once you determine what your team or organization's needs are, simply establish a financial goal that will help you meet those needs. Your goal can be updated at any time. Our software allows you to track donations in real time, so you can keep an eye on the success of your fundraising campaign. BACK TO TOP What if some of my potential donors aren't computer friendly? Not a problem! Simply call our office and our staff will be glad to assist them over the phone. It is part of the outstanding customer service that we offer and part of what makes us a premier donation registry. Our toll free phone number can be found on the contact page of our site. BACK TO TOP How much does it cost to use ourFUND? We never charge a set up fee, and during the registration process we never require payment from anyone from your organization. A one time administrative fee is deducted from the donations as they are received. The service fee will cover account management, donation webpage, payment distribution, and credit card processing fees. BACK TO TOP When will my donation page be active and when will my personal site close? Potential donors can view and make donations beginning the minute you set up your site. Your webpage will remain active until you choose to end your campaign. Remember the site is free for you to use, so there is no limit to the time you can accept donations. BACK TO TOP
