Firstgiving enables people to raise money online for their favorite charities with a personalized online fundraising page

What Company Is Offering:

Firstgiving enables people to raise money online for their favorite charities with a personalized online fundraising page. Fundraisers using their online fundraising pages raise on average 42% more than those that don't. Their pages make it easier to reach more people and easier for them to donate.

How It Works:

Firstgiving’s services are free for fundraisers and donors. Firstgiving takes a fee of 7.35% of each online donation. This percentage is a summary of fees for credit card processing, hosting, security, administrative, service, etc.

The most successful fundraisers personalize their pages with photos and compelling personal stories of why they are fundraising. They also send their page to family, friends, co-workers and clients – everyone in their address book!

Another successful tactic used by their top fundraisers is to periodically update donors and potential donors on their fundraising and training progress.
