I have no direct experience with this. I do know Network for Good (I believ
e from Google) has a program for NFP’s.
I equate online fund raising to direct/mass mailing: Impersonal.
Better looking for larger donations from select individuals, businesses or
philanthropic organizations by personal contact.

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 money (the company gets to pocket it), so be careful to read the fine p
rint and research their terms.

Hi Janet,
One quick question — has any society that you know of used an onlin
e source for soliciting donations?
I have been looking at several: Razoo, DirectoTo.org. Gofundme,
classy, Indiegogo. One of the purposes behind the mini-grant applicat
ion is to expand our donor base. I was thinking going on-line would b
e one way to do that. I would appreciate your comments.
