5 Benefits of Online Fundraising for Schools

Are you looking for ways to take your school's fundraising efforts to the next level? Online fundraising might just be the solution you need. Here are 5 benefits that your school could gain from embracing online fundraising.

Insights from Clay Boggess of Big Fundraising Ideas

Benefit 1: Increased Reach and Participation

Traditional Fundraisers

Traditional fundraisers usually have limited reach -- they rely on the people who happen to attend the event or see the brochure to donate. This means that some potential donors might be missed.

Online Fundraisers

With online fundraising, you can reach a wider audience and encourage more people to participate in your school's fundraising efforts. This means that you have a greater chance of hitting your fundraising goals.

Benefit 2: Simplified Donation Process

Social Media

Online fundraising makes it easy to leverage the power of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. This gives you access to a wider audience and can help you spread the word about your fundraising efforts.

Crowdfunding Platforms

There are also many crowdfunding platforms that can help you raise money online, such as GoFundMe and Kickstarter. These platforms have built-in tools for building a fundraising campaign and tracking donations.
