Some web sites get thousands of visitors a week and some get hundreds. If a web site is designed to be fun, informative, and a definitive place to be then non-profits can attract a large number of visitors. The examples up until this point, are Internet endeavours done by each organization, alone. However, a number of Internet sites are communal places that are trying to bring the benefits of collectivity to Internet fundraising. NetBenefit is a non-profit corporation that has decided to offer the Internet community an alternative to traditional buying.
Consumers can choose which non-profit receives the net profits from their purchases.
Citizens can read about the charity sector and they can donate to charities in the village. There is also an area where charities can post volunteer opportunities. There are close to 800,000 paying members on AOL and some of them will visit the volunteer opportunity area. It is free for charities. Just like other fundraising mediums, the Internet demands every charity begin a caring, attentive relationship with the on-line donor.
