Overview

Almost all non-profit groups do fundraisers and perform various fund raising activities throughout the year. As a non-profit organization, this is frequently necessary so the group can continue operations and fund its missions and goals.

This section will explain this innovative and unique fundraiser program which any non-profit group can implement absolutely free. This would be ideal for almost any non-profit group or corporate giving campaign, including:

• Supplement to corporate sponsored payroll deduction plans (i.e. United Way).

• Fraternity / sorority sponsored projects.

• High school marching band.

• Sports teams such as football, basketball, soccer, etc.

• Church related projects and church youth groups.

• Cheerleading and color guard.

• Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts.

• Almost any school group, booster club or PTO or PTA group.

and countless others like your local Crisis Community Center, Animal Rescue Group, the local chapter of the American Cancer Society, Muscular Dystrophy Association, the local United Way chapter, etc.

One Thing in Common

What is the one thing that each of these non-profit groups have in common?

Not a tough question. Virtually all of them do some sort of Fundraisers throughout the year. Most of them do multiple fundraisers. Why? Because the school district, the church council, state/federal funding group, or whatever management oversees them is not able to meet all of their financial needs in order to fund the quality programs, equipment, and activities that they need to. Additionally, corporate sponsored payroll deduction programs ask employees to give up a percentage of their hard earned money. That's great for those who can participate, but the reality is that not everyone can due to financial challenges or limitations of their own.

The non-profit organizations, and particularly the youth-oriented groups need the opportunity to experience adequately funded programs. This means equipment for the soccer team, bus transportation for the football team, costs to implement a marathon or competition, uniforms and a new tenor "whatchamacallit" for the marching band, and the list goes on and on. The gating factor is typically the Funding.

The Problem With "Traditional" Fundraisers

There's a problem with the "traditional" fundraisers like bake sales, car washes, and the like.  When the baked goods are gone, when the car wash hoses are turned off, when the last volunteer has gone home for the day, the same thing happens:

That Source Of Income Is Shut Off Too!

What If There Was A Better Way?

What if there was a better way to do a fundraiser, a method or program that had the following characteristics:

• Zero cost to implement or join the program.

• Recurring income and enhanced visibility towards your cause.

• The group is given a free customized virtual billboard from which it can sell ad space to supporters.

• Ordering and provisioning is done entirely online.

• There are no deliveries to make, inventory to stock, no collections to make.

• Your group is selling space on a virtual billboard to supporters of your cause for as little as $1 per block.

If such a program were available, wouldn't you want to know more about it?

The Company Behind This Program

GiveWithoutGiving.org's "One Block at a Time" program was formed to help organizations needing additional financial assistance by allowing supporters to purchase space on a virtual billboard to honor or pay tribute to a loved one or to signify corporate sponsorship of the designated cause.

We do not advertise nor solicit any of your supporters! Likewise, we do not sell contact information from your supporters to third-party list providers! Our goal is to provide your group with a fund raising tool you can communicate to your supporters through your normal channels of communication, and make available your FREE virtual billboard so they can purchase blocks to support your cause.

This is a honest, reconcilable program for quality organizations to use to help fund and expand their programs!

How Does My Group Get Customers?

This can be done in the same way that you get supporters for your other fund raising activities; i.e., pass out flyers door to door, at concession stands during athletic events, at the malls, anywhere. Simply refer your supporters to the group’s virtual billboard. You can even embed your group's virtual billboard right into your existing web site to make it easy for supporters to find it.

The supporters don't need to be in your city or even your state. GiveWithoutGiving.org's "One Block at a Time" program can be accessed around the globe. If the group solicits the next door neighbor or someone across town or someone in the next state or someone in another country, it's still revenue for the group if a supporter purchases one or more blocks from your virtual billboard!
