1. Increased Reach
Email and social media (facebook) makes it possible to contact supporters, family and friends from different geographic locations as opposed to those only within close proximity. Campaigns can now reach potential supporters from coast to coast and not just those at arms length.
2. Increased Safety
Since there is no door-to-door selling involved in an online fundraising campaign, there is no need to approach strangers when asking for money. The added safety of using the internet to fundraise brings a sense of relief to parents as well as team members.
3. Ease of Coordination of Effort
A traditional fundraiser may involve purchasing inventory, handing out inventory, counting and managing stock, delivering goods sold, organizing volunteers, booking rental space. An online fundraiser can all be done in front of a computer using email, social media and your website as a communications tool. 4. Fun Setting up your customized web-page is not only fun for yourself and your group but supporters enjoy it as well. They will take pride in supporting you and your group by having the opportunity to easily make contributions and leave comments to show support. Groups can also develop incentive programs to reward top fund-raisers.
