You got to give it to the social good entrepreneurs. Seemingly every week a new fundraising or cause awareness tool hits the Web for nonprofits to experiment with, and though donation processing fees must be applied or ads sold for these social enterprises to be sustainable, it’s clear that their motives are altruistic. That said, here are six new fundraising tools for nonprofits to explore:
1. SwipeGood :: swipegood.com :: FAQ
SwipeGood enables donors to round up all of their debit or credit card purchases to the nearest dollar and allows them to donate the difference to the charity their choice.
2. Philanthroper :: philanthroper.com :: FAQ
You know those daily deal sites? They’re another one of those. But instead of selling something, they share the story of a new 501(c)3 nonprofit every day. And if you’d like the nonprofit, you can give them $1. They’re trying to make doing good a habit.
3. GiveBack :: giveback.org :: FAQ
GiveBack allows donors to create their own foundations (giving portfolios) where they can follow their favorite nonprofits, donate directly, and allocate dollars raised through their online shopping portal.
4. Give a Tweet :: giveatweet.com :: FAQ
Give a Tweet was founded to leverage the real-time power of Twitter to make it easy to donate to non-profits. Donors can either give directly to nonprofits, or match another donor’s gift. It’s a creative way for business brands on Twitter to get recognized for their philanthropy.
5. Cauzoom :: cauzoom.com :: FAQ
Cauzoom allows nonprofits to create projects/cauzs that can then be crowdfunded or endorsed by individuals and businesses.
6. BroadCause :: broadcause.com :: FAQ
BroadCause is a social good platform where individuals can join cause communities and nonprofits can create wish lists, events, and fundraise. Integrated with Twitter, there is also a corporate giving component where brands can sponsor your nonprofit’s cause.
