Are you looking at online fundraising ideas for your charitable organization Let's face it, there's money to be made on the internet. So how can your organization benefit Here's four simple ways to fundraise online:
1. Hold eBay auctions and have your organization listed as the benefactor. eBay calls it the "Giving Works" program. Your organization must first list with "MissionFish" through eBay. Then once you're setup, have your group donate items and sell them on eBay. Members can even setup their own auctions and have the proceeds go to your charitable organization directly by simply selecting this option when they first setup their auction.
2. Take donations through PayPal on your online website. If you already have a webpage setup this is the easiest way to generate donations. Just setup a PayPal donation button and the money will be automatically donated to your PayPal account.
3. Sell books through Amazon.com. Collect used books and sell them through Amazon.com. This does take some effort to collect the books, list and ship them. But Amazon pays you directly for each sale you make so you don't have to wait for payment.
4. Sell ebooks. This can be done by setting up a PayDotCom.com account and promoting other people's ebooks as an affiliate. Customers just go online and download the ebook to their computers. Select some ebooks to promote and provide your affiliate link to potential donors. This works well if you have an established email list of potential donors as you just need to send them the affiliate links by email and have them click on them to purchase.
Fundraising online is the new way to make money for your non-profit group. All it takes is some knowledge and you too can take part in the online fundraising world.
