Organize Fundraisers and Accept Payments 24 Hours A Day
The holiday season is finally here with the worldwide celebration of Thanksgiving and Christmas; and the New Year is also on its way! People of all ages and professions enjoy this festive season with their family and friends; while some of them plan a trip to some beautiful place, others prefer staying back to enjoy by organizing a holiday party at home. Nonprofits and humanitarian organizations also arrange fundraisers during the holidays to support homeless kids, sick people, and the elderly. Lots of K12 schools initiate fundraising campaigns to collect donations to buy text books or to sponsor their upcoming educational trip.

However, despite the best efforts to raise money through a charity walk or raffle show, often you will find people reluctant to support a cause. It may be because it's a holiday time and we generally prefer to spend time together with family and friends instead of attending a fundraising campaign. Now, the question is how you can attract more people toward your fundraiser and raise high amount of donation? This article will help you find out the probable solutions in order to collect maximum funds from individuals and sponsors.

One of the best ways to send money to a charity program easily is through the use of an online payment management solution. You no longer have to wait for the courier or post office to deliver your money to the fundraising organization's office. You can easily donate it via the online payment system within days. The Cloud-based payment managing service allows you to donate cash 24X365! You just need to decide who to pay and can get started immediately. The online payment mode will help you send donations via credit cards, checks, or PayPal. You can also use the standard payment gateways, such as CyberSource or Authorize.net, to pay for a good cause. The web-based payment management service is highly secured and compliant with PCI. Financial fraud can also be avoided if you select this safe online fund transferring mode. The online solution also eliminates the chances of cash-handling error.

In addition to the Cloud-based payment management solution, you can also use the online registration service that comes with the online event management solution to manage the process of signing up attendees. The registration portal gives the individuals free access to your event registration page from any part of the world. Whoever is interested in your fundraising event can enter your customized registration webpage to fill up the form. What's more! The online communication tool also lets you send emails and reminders to all your friends to attend the program on time. You can even use the online marketing tool to offer special discounts and barcodes to some of/all your attendees.
