We know that applying a multi-level marketing approach to donations is something that is "on
the edge." We believe it is exactly the type of thinking needed to increase donations like never before!
Why DonationNetwork.org Was
Created
Every
business has a reason why it was
started. Most companies' main
purpose is to make a profit.
DonationNetwork.org was started with
something different in mind.
When our founders wanted to make a
concentrated effort to help others they were lost in where to start. Several
questions arose that they were unable to answer.
Who
do you donate to? There are thousands of great charities out there,
how do you find them? Who is managing their money the best? Everyone knows of
the national charities but there has to be local charities as well.
How do you find them? What kind of progress are charities making? How do
you contact them? And the list went on.
Learning
how short most charities are in
funding lead to even more
questions. Other than the standard
cold calling, door knocking and
minimal ads by national charities is
anyone trying new ways to get people
excited about donating? We
discovered the answer was NO.
Answering
the first group of questions was simple. Design a site that will be
the one place to make all donations. A site that contains a
vast amount of
information on the major charities and list the local and regional charities
as well. We have hundreds of thousands of charities listed with detailed
information on their mission, description, easy to understand charts,
charitable status, ratings, comments, financials, and much more. This is
all in an effort to help others make an informed decision
and feel confident about where your donations
are going. Answering the second set of questions has
taken extensive research and
hundreds of hours of brainstorming. In the end, we have created
several innovative ways to get people excited about donating.
With the
ability to create charity funds that
can be shared with thousands and the ground
breaking Donation Matching Program, we are
pushing the envelope of donating to inspire people to get involved.
We hope you decide to join us in leading
the way to making our society a better place to live.
