FundRaisin.info · Easy fundraising ideas for activists, do-gooders, non-profits.

Lots of people are doing kind things to help others. Do-gooders make sunshine grow in the heart of humanity. This site is a way to support the goodness in the world.

This list is a free service. I don't get money from this. I don't do fundraising or consulting. You can use these fundraising programs to do fundraising for your favorite good cause. To get started, choose a fundraising program from the list, enroll in it, put it on your blog or site & tell your supporters about it.

Please use the fundraising resources here to help others. If you know of good fundraising tools for activists & non-profits that fit the criteria below, please send me the links.
