your organization to actually make that
connection with those who are interested in
what you’re doing.

be more inclined to help you spread the word,
helping you reduce marketing costs.

money to a cause for its own sake, reward

offer they can’t refuse.

just as effective as one or two big ones.

independent entities is an incredibly popular
thing to do right now.

least costly ways to raise capital. Fees are a
percentage of the money raised, and
businesses may select rewards that let them
keep the bulk of each donation.

product development.
