Online Charity Fundraising

Online Charity Fundraising

 

Many non-profit organisations can no longer afford to hold charity fundraising events and have even cut out some programs because of the lack of money coming in. In this tough economic situation where most of us are worried about losing our homes, bills to pay and everyday living expense, most of us would hold on to every penny.

Before the crash of the market, most of us could afford to spare a little bit of loose change for these good causes and charities. We could previously donate bigger amount of money to support the cause of non-profit organizations, but unfortunately for charities some of these funds have dried up due to the global economic crisis. Charities can only do their good deeds if there is continuous flow of funds coming in that would allow them to do their mission. Generally the funding of charities is mainly from donations from the public. Before the market crash, charity fundraising events were able to raise money for these non-profit organizations. However, because of difficult times, the money brought by charity fundraising such as sporting events have been hitting really low.
