Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

Add peer-to-peer fundraising to your fundraising toolkit to enlist your existing donors to reach out online to their networks for your cause. Nonprofits are witnessing the phenomenal growth of social networking and are looking for ways to leverage that growth to fundraise. Using Join Me, your fundraisers can build a personal webpage that adds their unique message to your organizational one, and invites their contacts to visit their page—and give to your cause.

Overview

Have you ever wished you could fully leverage your existing donors’ network of friends, family and colleagues to raise funds for your mission? With Join Me, you can. Join Me enables nonprofits to harness the power of the Internet to solicit donations from their donors and their donors’ friends, family, and colleagues in conjunction with an event like an a-thon, or an independent fundraising effort like a fund-a-need. Using Join Me, nonprofits give their donors Web-based tools that empower donors to promote a cause and solicit online donations via email and a wide variety of social media sites. Donors that use Join Me to participate in your fundraiser become agents for your cause. They adopt your organizational mission as their own, promoting that mission to drive donations made in their name by their contacts. Your organization raises funds and awareness and uncovers new donors without the complexity of delivering a benefit auction event. Participants build their personal or team fundraising Webpage and solicit donations utilizing easy-to-use Web-based tools that require minimal support from you. You can easily monitor participants’ fundraising pages, track donations, capture new donor information, securely accept and process credit card donations, and report results.
