Non-profits, Networks and Synergies

Any organization is a collection (or network) of people who all subscribe to something in common.  It could be a religious organization, a youth baseball or soccer league, any medical malady organization, school bands who want to march in the Rose Bowl Parade... there are many, many more as you know.

As a network of people all subscribing to a common "something" there is always the foundational need for money and funding to replace a roof on the church, build a new fence around the playing field, contribute to families in need,  caring for a sick loved one, or pay for plane fares to Pasadena for 90 kids.

The question is whether bake sales and car washes... yard sales and holiday raffles... cookie and popcorn campaigns and the like are the smartest way to go about things?  Or might there be a better way through leveraging the synergies of the participants to benefit in the process?

Obviously, this article presupposes that it does make sense to incentivize volunteer money-raisers to participate in the financial rewards of a fund raising campaign; helping themselves, society and the economy in the process.

Our model is a solution to this and I encourage anyone who is involved, directly or indirectly with raising funds for any good cause to learn how we can help.
