Online Fundraising

Successful online fundraising requires more than the ability to take credit card donations and constant pleas for money.  An organization or campaign needs three foundation elements to raise money online:

• A professional website that inspires confidence in the candidate or organization.  Visit our Website Design Gallery for examples of professional websites.
• Email marketing, social networking and other techniques to engage supporters and  drive them back to the website to take action.   See our Email Marketing page for a special program to expand your email list.
• Online credit card processing for contributions and selling tickets to fundraisers.  See details below on our recommended vendor with one of the best rates available.
