As a fundraising consultant, I’m seeing many nonprofits have to cut back on services in order to stay afloat. This is one of the main reasons we developed Shop To Fundraiser. We are harnessing the power of online shopping with a philanthropic twist. This way, donors are able to support their favorite organization without actually spending additional money.

Great topic. I am having these same concerns as I look to participating in an event in December. There is no question that is a great cause, but getting the money is difficult right now. The idea of asking more people for less is a good one.

Fundraising for our events this year is a bit more difficult than previous years. On October 18th we are having our 3rd annual Halloween Costume Birthday Party for my husband. We are asking guests NOT to bring presents, unless they would like to make a donation towards our Disney Marathon fundraising, to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. My husband always has a donation jar/box on his desk at work. He is the supervisor of a large electrical company, the joke is he won’t let the bookkeeper hand out paychecks until everyone checks their pockets and deposits their change into the donation box!
