<h2>Benefits of Online Fundraising Platforms</h2>
When it comes to raising funds, an online fundraising platform helps you simplify the fundraising process by a huge margin. Let&rsquo;s see the core benefits to start crowdfunding with such platforms.
You can raise funds from a wide audience- An online fundraising platform helps anyone with an internet connection to donate to your cause. With this, you can raise funds from practically any donor that you may otherwise not have had the chance to reach out to.
You can receive donations anytime and anywhere- As you receive donations online, your donors can donate from any device connected to the internet. Besides this, your donors can interact with your cause by creating donor profiles and contacting you to know more about your efforts.
You can easily track donor, accounting, and fundraising data- With a donation platform, you can track every penny that comes your way besides other details about your donors. This means you know who your donors are and can access their details from your database. You can also integrate this database into a CRM and sync your donation transactions with accounting software to comply with accounting rules.
Costs involved in online fundraising
Usually, most online fundraising platforms charge two types of fees-
Platform Fee- This is a fixed charge you need to pay to use the online fundraising platform.
Transaction/Processing Fee- Here, the donor is charged a fixed percentage as a transaction or processing fee, sometimes starting from or up to a certain limit.
