Online collaboration means a great deal to charities
A partnership between comotivate and a global administration platform aimed at supporting good causes, is offering the not-for-profit sector free access to leading technology.
High profile, well funded charities have certainly been quick to leverage the internet to strengthen brand awareness and drive down their administration costs. But the technological investment and skills have been hard to come by for smaller non-profit organizations.
Now, Australian-based comotivate.com is helping overcome those barriers by partnering with GivenGain and offering six months free access to a leading integrated online cause administration platform covering: payment processing, donor management, online publishing and communication tools.
GivenGain have already helped raise over $37 million for good causes. The service automates complex, critical processes from beginning to end, allowing organizations to cut costs, increase revenue, build and manage relationships and win broader support for their cause. Comotivate.com matches people with similar goals and allows them to collaborate in teams. It will soon integrate with GivenGain more fully to allow users to raise money in support of their challenges.
Comotivate.com founder, Matt Lawton helps explain: “The online experience can make or break a fundraising campaign for donors, fundraisers and ultimately the charity. The GivenGain platform provides the complete solution.”
Nobody taking up the introductory offer through comotivate is obliged to either continue on with the service or run activity on comotivate.com and Lawton believes that’s important. “I’m confident that those non-profits that begin to feel comfortable with an enhanced web presence will want to find ways of further leveraging their campaigns. Anyone unable to develop a sound online strategy is going to struggle more and more.”
