8/2/2017 10 Crowdfunding Websites for Non-Profits | VerticalResponse Blog 1. Rally Start From Seed had success with this online fundraising platform. It’s a user-friendly site with an appealing presentation and there’s no minimum donation. 2. HopeMob This site boasts a community of 10,000+ members. There are plenty of great success stories on this site, including the more than $5,000 raised for The Supply, a nonpro t that builds schools in Nairobi. 3. Start Some Good In addition to an easy-to-use platform, this site offers Crowdfunding 101, a free ninepart email course for non-pro ts and social entrepreneurs. Plus, the site only charges fees if your campaign reaches its tipping point. Event Marketing Everything VerticalResponse Guides Holiday Infographics Logo & Branding Non-Pro t Marketing Partner Product Updates Public Relations Resources Salesforce & VerticalResponse SEO/SEM Small Business Marketing Social Media Subject Lines Surveys SXSW 2013 Lessons Tips in 2 Tools/Services Videos VR Customer Spotlight Web Dev Webinars 4. Crowdrise One of the more organized sites, Crowdrise divides fundraising by a variety of categories like animal welfare or education. The site also separates non-pro ts by the method of fundraising like a run/walk or celebrity-backed campaign. 5. Causes Billing itself as the world’s largest online campaigning platform, Causes currently only allows registered 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) nonpro ts to fundraise on its site. In addition to fundraising, campaigns can be used to create petitions and ask people to take pledges, such as Toyota’s campaign to make child passenger safety a priority. Visit Everything Holiday for all the tips, guides, how-to’s, and festive freebies you need for a successful season. GO TO EVERYTHING HOLIDAY! 6. Indiegogo Campaigns must set a goal and select between xed and exible accounts. If you set up a xed account and don’t hit your goal, any money raised is returned to the donor. If you set up a exible account and don’t hit your goal, you keep the money raised but Indiegogo keeps a higher percentage of your funds. Registered 501(c)(3) and 501(c) (4) do receive discounts, but you’ll want to crunch the numbers. 7. FirstGiving With over a decade of fundraising, FirstGiving boasts some big names in the nonpro t sector, such as Habitat for Humanity, the Special Olympics and The Humane Society. 8. RocketHub Television network A&E now searches RocketHub for crowd-funding projects that it wants to feature in its new “Project Startup.”Fees vary based on whether or not you meet your goals. 9. CauseVox Boasting the ability for non-pro ts to easily change the look of their fundraising page without a developer, CauseVox makes it easy to embed multimedia – like videos or Flickr slideshows – just by pasting a link. Case studies include the Autism Science Foundation and Change for Kids. It has a unique fee and pricing system as well. 10. Razoo This site allows non-pro ts to host a Giving Day, which is a 24-hour online fundraising competition in which Razoo trains you to reach supporters via social media, email, http://www.verticalresponse.com/blog/10-crowdfunding-websites-every-non-profit-should-know/ 2/4
8/2/2017 10 Crowdfunding Websites for Non-Profits | VerticalResponse Blog events and more. Ready to get started? Here are a few tips from Lesley Mansford, CEO of Razoo: Use videos. Fundraisers with videos typically earn four times more. Tie donations to direct impact. For example, “Just $20 feeds a child three meals a day for a month.” Ask your donors to share your campaign. Razoo has found that every Facebook share helps raise about $18 of donations on its site. Most of these sites keep between 3 and 5 percent of the funds your nonpro t raises, and there are fees collected by credit card processors, so be sure to read the FAQs on each site carefully. Have you used one of these sites to raise funds or awareness? If so, tell us your thoughts in the comment section below. VerticalResponse has a free program for non-pro ts. Sign up and get started.
