iGive.com for fundraising

This website sounds like a really good idea!

Kind of an oldie but.... Bump


I am starting to use this site for my Alumnae chapter as a continual internal fundraiser. Does anybody have any tips on how well it works? I would love to get someone else's feedback...

We've been able to raise a little over $200 in two years. However our participation level has been low. We only have about 4 sisters who use the site regularly. So that comes to about $50/person with casual use.

One thing you do have to keep in mind with iGive is that there is considerable delay between when you do your shopping and when you get a check in the mail -- at least 90 days. It will come...but not right away. You have to have at least $25 accumulated in order to get a check; although your first one can be sent out even if you have less than $25 (as a teaser I guess).

It has the potential to raise a lot of money if a lot of people come on board though. And or if you have some members that are big time online shoppers.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to give it a go. I sent a mass email out to promote it and put a banner for it on our webpage. I hope it works, I really, really want to see us reach Major Donor status for the ZTA foundation, and every little bit counts!
