Guest guest Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 For those who ever though of having a fundraiser for themselves or a loved one this site may be of interest. I just stumbled upon the site. It is a site where you can set up for others to donate to your cause online. As I understand it, the service is free to fundraisers and donors. http://www.youcaring.com/ Or to see ongoing fundraising pages: http://www.youcaring.com/search_result?fundraiser=find+a+fundraiser They also have a blog. The following page may be of interest, it discusses similar sites that claim to be free yet charge fees if money is actually raised. http://www.youcaring.com/blog/fundraising-tips/free_online_fundraising_free/ I get skeptical about this kind of thing actually being free because sites like this need to use another service that process online transactions. Those services charge them. Such fees could be something like 5% of each transaction. If a million dollars was given through the fundraisers the combined fees at 5% would be $50,000. YouCaring claims this is all covered by their own generous donors. I hope so. This is not an endorsement by me. I just thought it may be of interest. If anyone does use it let us know how it turns out. notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
