Mission Statement:
“We Maximize Fundraising”
About Us:
We recognize that non-profit organizations are spending and ever increasing amount
of time and resources to raise funds and less and less time on accomplishing their
own mission.
Our focus is to help non-profits and corporate supporters maximize their fundraising
efforts by leveraging today’s technology. The internet has revolutionized communication
and ecommerce.
At eMaxFun.com, we are more than just an auction site exclusively used for fundraising
by non-profits. We also service corporations who manage their own fundraising events
on behalf of non-profits that they support. Aside from listing auction items, we
also provide for sponsors to list items as raffle items as well as utilizing 50/50’s.
Non-profit fundraising and branding are inter-woven. Our services are internet based
and thus when used provide non-profits maximum potential for branding their identity
and conveying their message to countless other potential supporters . We provide
a platform to help maximize fundraising efficiently and cost effectively.
How it Works:
Non-profits can register, optionally create an event, list items of interest, designate
a type (auction, raffle or 50/50), promote their event as usual to their supporters
and let the supporters participation begin.
Corporations can register, designate a non-profit to support and manage their own
event just like a non-profit. We provide the option to designate an event as “private”
and thus only allowing participation by supporters (such as the companies own employees)
who are supplied the event password.
Supporters can register, review and participate in the auction of items, purchasing
of raffle items and 50/50 drawings with the non-profits(s) they support as well
as any other public auctions thus maximizing the power of the internet.
It’s important to know that non-profits who televise their fundraising auction events
can further maximize their results by using our service. We provide for the integration
of both phone and internet bids allowing viewers to participate online in real time.
Benefits:
Non-profit organizations managing their fundraising event using our service can
benefit from the participation of other supporters who initial came to eMaxFun.com
for the purpose of supporting other non-profits and causes but may also search for
items of interest that you list. This is one of the major advantages of our tool
verses each non-profit developing their own internet based tools hoping that non-supporters
find them. We also provide organizations to have their own web-site within our platform
by utilizing sub-domains. Supporters accessing "your site" within our platform will
not have access to other organizations events and items essentially providing their
own private web-site with all content managed by them.
Asking community corporate sponsors annually for support can be humbling. Now, as
a bonus feature, we allow you to configure/incorporate the displaying of your corporate
supporter’s internet banner advertisement on your sponsor, event and item pages
on "their web-site" within eMaxFun's platform. This is an added bonus to displaying
“donated by” name, URL and logo. This is a powerful incentive for your current corporate
supporters to give and give often and entice potential corporate supporters to participate
too. After all, your supporters are your corporate sponsors’ consumers.
Potential:
Take one item of interest, list it as a raffle item, allowing unlimited numbers
of individuals to participate and potentially raise an amount greater than the actual
value of the item while instilling excitement in your event for each supporter.
The motivation behind the story:
Non-profits are in the business of helping others. We are in the business of helping
non-profits.
We are a business serving non-profits while incurring operation and development
expenses. In an ideal world we would be providing our services for free but we do
charge a fee for our services to ensure our longevity and goals to be the best internet
based company serving non-profits in maximizing fundraising by leveraging the technology
of the internet while lowering the cost of every dollar raised. Our staff is a complimentary
blend of individuals with non-profit management experience and talented technology
skilled individuals collaborating on fund-raising processes. When it comes to business,
we collectively couldn’t think of any more gratifying, fulfilling and more worthy
endeavor allowing us to play a small part in the revolutionary advances in fundraising.
In closing:
We recognize that we are not the “end all” internet fundraising service provider
… yet! Maybe we don’t have the desired service(s) you are currently looking for.
Maybe there is another internet based group that is currently better suited for
your specific needs or interest. Maybe you feel that you’re not yet ready or organized
for an internet based service like eMaxFun. Maybe you recognize the potential of
an internet platform and are thinking about developing your own solution but find
the task too daunting, labor intensive, time consuming and expensive. Maybe you
just recognize that it would be to distracting from the focus of your mission. We
hope that you review what services eMaxFun has to offer for fundraising and maximize
your fundraising while making it convenient, safe and fun for your supporters to
find and support you. If we don’t satisfy your requirements for a “internet based
partner” supporting you with your fundraising goals with the services we currently
offer, please check back periodically to see how we are expanding our services in
our goal to be your one-stop source for an internet based platform for fundraising
and management. Also, please “contact us” with any suggestions of services that
can help you. Whether you’re a national organization interested in just our fundraising
services or a small local non-profit who can utilize a fully configurable personal
web-site, eMaxFun can help you maximize your fundraising.
Remember that it’s easy and efficient. It’s safe and secure. Most of all, it’s fun
… it’s eMaxFun!
