Causevox to help non-profits crowdsource fundraising
Howard Lake | 8 February 2011 | News
The power of the crowd has proven to be particularly useful when it comes to fundraising online. Founder Institute Startup CauseVoxis launching a SaaS platform that allows non-profits to crowdsource fundraising.
A white-label platform, CauseVox allows organizations to launch a customized, charity-branded site on their own domain and begin accepting donations. Tools include a simple editor to create fundraising destinations, the ability to create fundraising pages for supporters, socialize fundraising efforts, and more.
While non-profits have a 30 day free trial to use the software, CauseVox will charge a small subscription fee and will take 7.5 percent of all donations. We have an exclusive offer for TC readers to use Causevox for free for six months. You can use the promo code “techcrunch” to get 6 more months free during billing.
In its beta period, CauseVox already helped non-profits, including Change For Kids andRestoreNYC, raise over $400,000 in donations.
CauseVox isn’t the first startup to launch a crowd-funding platform for organizations; the startup faces competition from Facebook app Causes, Nadanu, and GoFundMe.
