  1. Good afternoon, thank you for joining our Webinar today. I’m James Campbell, and I’m Laura Reino, and today we’ll be reviewing a case study of a nonprofit client and show how they successfully raised over $1,000 per day for 30 days.
  2. This afternoon we’ll cover:Why online fundraising is so powerfulCase Study, how Cure Childhood Cancer leveraged online fundraising for their campaignOnline fundraising best practicesHow it worksTake your questionsAnd any next steps
  3. Most nonprofit organizations already have an online donation button on their website. But that’s not what we’ll be talking about today. We’ll be talking about online person to person fundraising, which means individuals reaching out to their friends, family, and colleagues on your behalf to raise money for your organization. These are new donors you wouldn’t received contributions from otherwise.
  4. These are examples. Each person has their own page, with their own personal story, the cause they are supporting, their photo, a video, a fundraising goal, and ultimately, it’s their contacts whom they send their appeals to and in return receive donations from. You can see the nice comments their friends leave behind.
  5. You are probably aware of different services that offer online fundraising abilities. It can seem confusing and overwhelming. We really try to keep online fundraising simple, in fact so easy… well you probably know the Ad.According to many research studies including on Charity Navigator, your costs of offline fundraising can be expensive, 10% - 30%. Online fundraising is cost efficient and the cost per dollar raised is a fraction of what most organizations pay today. So you will actually lower your cost of fundraising.Do not under-estimate quality customer support, it’ s critical to a positive user experience and successful fundraising results.Rather than staff entering paperwork into your donor database, they can focus on best practices, communication, support, and increasing fundraising activity.You can literally sign up and start fundraising immediately, this does not require a drawn out training processAll the data and information people need is always at their fingertips, and information is power
  6. Here are some high level functions and features nonprofit organizations commonly inquire about, to highlight a few:Obviously personal fundraising web pagesTeamsDedicated nonprofit site showing all the fundraising activityReportingAuto Thank You emailsFree customer support
  7. Over the past 7 years, over 2.3 million people have helped to raise over 127 million dollars for thousands of nonprofits organizations in all 50 States on the FirstGiving platform. You will recognize some of these organizations, FirstGiving is tried & true, secure, credible, and effective.
  8. In summary, this is not all about your nonprofit taking on all of the fundraising work yourself. It’s about sharing that task with your passionate community of supporters so they can do some amazing things to easily raise more money for your cause.
  9. So enough from us, now it’s time for your questions, so please ask them.
  10. Thank you for your interest, and please do not hesitate to contact us with questions.
