What is Organizational Fundraising?
Our program is a way for non-profits, churches, schools and other organizations that depend on donations to capture money already being spent by their members or donors. By enrolling in the Online Store Rewards Program, members simply shop on-line with many of their favorite local and national retailers as they would normally, at no additional cost. But by doing it through the Online Store Rewards site, the organization is given a portion of the sale from the retailers. Your organization is able to generate revenue with minimal investment and time. Plus, members are able to support their organization without additionally coming out of pocket.
Why do retailers reward organizations?
On-line shopping has become big business for retailers, from big box stores down to small boutiques. They are looking for a loyal on-line customer base and are willing to reward a percentage of total sales to any organization that brings them customers. Organizational Fundraising has created the affiliate shopping program that allows your organization to capture money already being spent by your members on-line. All your organization has to do is promote your shopping mall with your members. Think of it as the retailer spending its advertising budget with your organization rather than through other media.
What is the Online Store Rewards Mall and how is it tracked?
Organizational Fundraising will set up a customized mall, similar to the one on this site, specifically created for your organization. We then track all purchases made by your members through your customized mall and reward your organization the percentage generated by total sales on a monthly basis.
What is the revenue potential?
Your organization can earn thousands of dollars a month simply by directing members to shop on-line, or pick up cell and Dish contracts though the Online Store Rewards Program. Revenue is based on number of purchases made by participating members, as well as the percentage the different retailers are rewarding. Contact us here for more details about revenue potential.
What is the cost?
There is no cost to enroll in Organizational Fundraising, and the organization can quit at any time. We do encourage each organization to set up a marketing budget to promote your Online Store Rewards Program to your members. We have a full list of marketing materials already created that you can see here.
What is the motivation for our members to participate?
The reason we work with non-profits, schools, churches and similar organizations is because their members are loyal and want to give to the organization. Especially during this recession, many members are not in a financial position to give what they budgeted for their church or charity in years past. Many non-profits are struggling to survive. We are offering a way for members to donate and support their organizations with money they are already spending, on office supplies, clothes, gifts, travel, flowers, back-to-schoool items, etc. In addition, members are offered special deals and discounts as incentive for shopping through our affiliate program. Even for organizations that are reaching their target goals, this provides an opportunity to create a capital fund drive or other special push for additional revenue without feeling they are financially stressing their members.
What can be purchased through the program?
Products and services that can be purchased include things such as cell phone contracts, Dish Network contracts, on-line shopping with large and small retailers, business services, restaurant, travel and entertainment packages and much more. At the end of the month, Organizational Fundraising will send you a check for all purchases made though the Rewards Program.
How do Dish and cell phone contracts work?
Many people don't realize that the local cell phone store such as AT&T and Verizon is actually a franchise owned by an independant operator. Organizational Fundraising offers the ability for your organization to replace the local franchise and capture the revenue that would be paid to that franchise location. The process is transperant for your member, just as if they had walked into a different franchise location to renew their contract. The member's bill remains the same and they have the same carrier support and technical support as usual. This is the easiest and most profitable way for your organization to retain revenue. The Dish Network contracts work the same way as cell phone contracts.
What kind of support do you provide?
Your organization will have an appointed Account Exec that will train your point person in how to market to your members and capture sales through the mall. We also provide a full set of marketing materials that your organization can have printed or email to members.
What's the catch?
There is no catch. This is win-win, risk-free program. The organization will get as much back as they put into it. The more you educate and market to your members, the more buying power and revenue potential you have. We provide all the resources you need, such as printable marketing materials, blurbs for bulletins and emails, a customized mall for tracking and an Account Exec to train you in the process and help you motivate your members.
