December 2008 – Non Profit Auction Site Offering Fee Free Fundraising Until July 2009.The increasingly popular online charity auction site, www.Charitable-Auctions.com is providing the use of their non profit auction services free until July 2009.
The site generally charges an extremely small percentage of sales made through their site to maintain and promote their cause, as well as relatively insignificant fees for upgrades to their basic fundraising services. Any excess is donated in turn to charities devoted to the aid of underprivileged children and those that help with cancer research.
At the moment, however, all fees are being waived by the organization in an unprecedented leap of faith. “We want to prove to non profits and charities that our site is the best and most cost effective place to raise money online†said a spokesperson. “It is our dedicated mission to help you accomplish your fundraising goals so you can get continued support for your charitable program.
â€
This means that the site is completely free to use until July 2009, allowing non profits to run free fundraising auctions online. The site offers multiple options for fundraising making it the perfect place for any type of non profit organization to quickly and easily raise funds.
The site was originally founded to help non-profits raise money without paying hefty up-front annual fees, listing fees and homepage fees. They promote fundraising through online auctions and free storefronts, providing assistance with marketing and advertising to target the best audience for each charity’s needs.
Fundraising homepages can be set up to take in donations, items can be listed and sold, and sub-stores can be accessed by other people and businesses to list more items and raise even more money. Buttons can be placed on outlying sites and blogs to drive traffic, and other means used to raise awareness and donations through the site.
Organizations seeking to increase fundraising efforts through online auctions can list their items free on the related non profit auction website, IDonateToCharity.org. This is the only online charity auction site where all items are posted by charities and not-for-profit organizations. When people buy from one of the many charities using this site, 100% of the money goes directly to the charities involved. This is unprecedented in the industry – sites that offer similar services customarily charge annual fees totaling hundreds of dollars as well as end of auction fees that take a sizable percentage of all funds raised.
Hosting free fundraising auctions until July 2009 is only one way Charitable-Auctions.com is helping non profits to raise money. Their partners include hundreds of manufacturers and distributors who allow discounts on their products of up to 75% off the retail price. All the participating charity has to do is list the items they wish to sell, collect their set price from the customer, pay wholesale price to the distributor and they take care of drop shipping the item directly to the customer. It is truly turn-key fundraising in its simplest form.
At this time, IDonateToCharity.org is the only fundraising website that doesn’t charge a fee to use. More information can be obtained and non-profits can sign up to use the site at www.Charitable-Auctions.com
