[il-talk] looking for ideas

[Sean Ziadeh]

A trend I have noticed by non-profits and charitable organizations is crowd-funding.  Basically, an organization requests small donations through social media.  Here is a link to one organizer of this fundraising technique:  http://www.gofundme.com/.
 
In addition to being a fundraising option, it may also be used for exposure for other events planned by the Chapter.
 
Hope this helps.
