I have no experience, but It has been explained to me that with some of the
se sources, if you do not meet your goal, you don't receive any of the mone
y (the company gets to pocket it), so be careful to read the fine print and
research their terms.

Subject: Re: mini grant program
Hi Janet,
One quick question - has any society that you know of used an online source
for soliciting donations?
I have been looking at several: Razoo, DirectoTo.org<http://directoto.org/
>. Gofundme, classy, Indiegogo. One of the purposes behind the mini-grant
application is to expand our donor base. I was thinking going on-line woul
d be one way to do that. I would appreciate your comments.
