[Ohio-talk] Crowd Funding Our Movement

[Sheri]

What kind of fees are involved? There is one of those sites where the
organization is actually charged a higher percentage if they DO NOT reach
their goal! We would need to watch the fine print.

I mentioned this to eric while we were in the middle of planning the
convention.
There are nine or ten other crowd-funding sites that say they specifically
fund non-profits.  I think it would be worth a try.

Hi all,

Something we might want to consider:
Have any of you heard of Go Fund Me?  It's basically a "crowd funding"
site, or an online fundraising platform where people can donate money.
It uses platforms like Paypal and We Pay to distribute the funds directly
into a bank account.  These platforms have been successful in raising monehy
for people to have expensive medical procedures, college students to gain
money for tuition, and other costs like funeral expenses and adoption funds
for aspiring parents.

I'm using a site called You Caring to do this for my trip to Jamaica, and
really like it.  For the most part, it's very accessible.

This may be something that could be useful to us; another way to get the NFB
out there and take donations year-round.

Thoughts?
