StayClassy: Social Fundraising for Nonprofits

I was drawn to this charity and non-profit fundraising site because apart from the very important aspect of providing a platform for the collection of cash it has other strings to its bow.

It recognizes, as others do of course, that your cause will already have fans contributing to its success and those fans will have countless friends. So as well as giving you the tools to customize and brand your own fundraising campaigns it spreads the net to your existing supporters allowing them to set up fundraising pages of their own and scatter the effort using email, Facebook and Twitter.

Whilst a donation page is vital people are much more likely to stay interested and continue supporting a cause or project with the help of an event. No matter what sort of activity you may want to plan, stayclassy.com has the tools to help you organize, manage and track the progress and ultimate success of any event.

A customized event page can include personal or team fundraising pages, generate and sell e-tickets or set goals for people to achieve in return for entry to the event.

The system can also quickly give your cause or charity the ability to accept online payments in a fuss free paperless way and every management angle is covered with a comprehensive range of reports and analysis tools. Donations are paid to organizations via PayPal on the 1st and 16th of each month

The service is obviously not free but you don’t pay anything until your campaign starts to see the benefits. A 3% charge is levied on all donations or sales of event tickets along with standard credit card service charges of 2.5%.

Conclusion
The event management tool is a nice touch and the site has some impressive case studies. A class act for small or large fundraising needs.
