Fundraising is part of any charitable organization and in the current economy , organizations that rely on this type of funding have been having a harder time than ever raising the money they need. The Winnipeg Humane Society is no exception . During the final quarter of 2008 it was announced by a Winnipeg Humane Society representative that the society had collected approximately half of its normal fundraising results on its calendar appeal. Some brainstorming sessions were held to help with this shortfall.
One such fundraising initiative is through donationrelay.com concepts. Digital Relay Inc. created donationrelay.com to help charities, churches and schools, increase their contributions and reduce overhead of day to day operation through low cost technologies.
This month, The Winnipeg Humane Society is looking forward to seeing the results of their first online auction and the ultimate success of this type of fundraising event. The online auction solution available at donationrelay.com offers everything an organize needs to organize and maintain online auctions. A number of specialized features are offered to make it easy for anyone to organize this type of fundraising event. Some of the features that can be found on this special event package include an administrative interface, watch list, email notifications, reporting, category search features, start and end times, and more…
Charities using this special event software also have control over bid increments giving them control over how much a bid can go up either on a specific item or for the whole auction. Watch lists and email notifications make it easy for those looking to buy to know when they’ve been outbid and when auctions are getting ready to end. A project to integrate the online auction event software to donationrelay.com Donor Management Pro suite is already on the way.
The upcoming online auction event is launch around the Valentine’s them. Not only the items available make great gifts for your special Valentine but you will also be donating to the welfare and dignity of animals who may otherwise suffer. The Winnipeg Humane Society is looking forward to this first time event and hope Winnipegers will participate in the auction. . Please visit http://www.winnipeghumanesociety.ca for more details.
