Online fund raising company goes ‘live' in west virginia and offers organizations a choice

This week, YBIL Web Designs unveiled their new Internet fund raising program which will be available to schools, churches, or other organizations who may be looking for a ‘new twist' to their fund raising efforts.

Co-owner of YBIL Web Designs, Marshall Patton said “We wanted to find a way to help organizations raise needed funds in an easy and efficient manner. The Fun2Fund process is about as easy as we could make it.” Organizations are provided a website address that they then direct their community to use for online shopping and when purchases are made, a portion of the transaction is paid to the organization. The list of merchants that they may choose to purchase products from include many nationally known companies. According to Patton, “The advantages include not having to distribute products, prices are the same as customers are use to, and there is no cost or risk to participating organizations. If they make sure that people visit and use their website, they will raise funds.”

When using Fun2Fund, products are shipped directly from the merchants to the customer and the price is the same or possibly lower (occasionally Fun2Fund provides discount coupons) than those normally listed on the merchants website. Internet technologies track each transaction and credit the appropriate organization accounts. Organizations normally receive their funds monthly or quarterly after processing time (to allow for returns, etc.) is complete.
