Online
fundraising offers schools and students alike numerous benefits, with safety at
the forefront. At HuTerra, we understand just how important student safety is.
Our online fundraising exhibits this in four meaningful ways.
- No more door-to-door fundraising
- Sharing information via social media
- Easier for parents to stay involved
- Option to have products delivered individually
Online
stores mean that students no longer need to walk up and down their street knocking
on neighbors’ doors or entering busy companies asking people to purchase from
their fundraiser. This aspect is particularly significant to students who are
actively involved with extra-curriculars and don’t have time to fundraise until
later in the evening, when it’s often already dark outside.
Eliminating
the need for door to door fundraising does not mean that students no longer
need to ask for purchases. We provide easy-to-share links and templates for
both email and social media platforms. Sharing their fundraiser via social
media means students are only asking people they already know, mainly family
and friends they and their parents trust.
The
times parents feel most uneasy are those when they are not given all of the
relevant or essential information. With post templates and easily shareable
buttons, parents can see exactly what information their student will be
sharing. This also allows the parents to be more actively involved with the
opportunity to share the fundraiser on their own pages as well.
An
online MarketPlace exhibits safety even through delivery of the products. Some
of our stores offer the option to have the products delivered right to the
individual purchaser, which eliminates the need for students to drop off the
products throughout the neighborhood or city.
