Bellstrike – quick and easy online fundraising creation for US nonprofits
Howard Lake | 28 October 2011 | Blogs
Spotted on Springwise.com, Bellstrike “is a free web design, build and hosting service for charities, that removes the hassle from online fundraising.”
They handle a lot of the core elements of online fundraising for nonprofits, and aim to appeal particularly to the smaller organisations that don’t have the in-house expertise or time, or the money to afford a good web developer.
They do charge of course, but only a percentage of income generated. Not surprisingly, it is a higher sum than many other online transaction services. As Springwise said: “There is no cost to set up or host a site, and no contract, however Bellstrike receive six percent of every online donation, and WePay — the company used to process donations — takes 3.5 per cent. ”
