The latest issue of New Dialogue carries an article about a New Zealand website that can help community organisations with online fundraising:

Fundraising for the sector has long been typified by cake stalls, begging for money and donations, filling out forms, collecting, handling and processing cash — and dealing with the fact that cash goes 'missing' sometimes. But now the audience perspective has changed.

FundraiseOnline provides the sector a new channel to supplement donation streams. It's an easy to use, functionally-rich and low cost web capability for any sized charity.

… Visit FundraiseOnline to check out some examples of mindblowing fundraising success stories, particularly: www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/kayak4cancer/ showing how every day events can be changed into life changing experiences; www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/digdeep/ where communities of very special and local interest can do amazing things. The two organisations concerned together benefited to the tune of $30,000 from online donations.
