CafeGive will celebrate a national movement that is making, November 27, 2012, a day dedicated to giving (#GivingTuesday) by offering businesses and their causes ready to deploy Facebook apps to support end of year giving.
If you knew your company could raise money for important community causes or Hurricane Sandy victims with almost no effort - and even double your donation with matching funds from friends and customers - you'd do it, wouldn't you?
If you were planning to give an end of year donation and you could increase the impact of that donation by increasing your causes’ Facebook community - wouldn't you do it?
We thought so. That's why CafeGive is announcing a half-price offer to the first 25 organizations who ask to be part of our year-end charitable giving campaign, which we're launching this week.
CafeGive will discount its Make the Match donations and Like Us Give Back Facebook apps to $200 - over half the normal price - for 25 businesses that want to make the holidays good for everyone. And CafeGive isn't just making it more affordable to launch a giving campaign - the company will also provide all the graphics for your giving campaign, and will host the web app for you.
Best of all - you get to choose your cause. Want to give to a local cause dear to your heart? Great. Prefer to give to Hurricane Sandy victims? That's just fine by us; we just want to support your giving efforts.
Giving is down this year
Up to 30 percent of charitable giving happens in December every year. But this year is different - fundraising at more than half of charities nationwide has slowed substantially. Fewer people are giving, and donations are smaller. Reduced giving is making it much harder for charities to help needy people in a year where the needs are greater than ever.
That's why CafeGive is making its offer right now. The 25 companies that take up CafeGive's offer will be able to raise more than they could on their own with the help of CafeGive's Make the Match donation-matching app - as much as 50 to 100 percent more, aided by the awareness and generosity of each company's customers, employees and social media friends. These extra funds will make a big difference to people in need in these 20 communities.
Let CafeGive help you extend a helping hand
We know you're busy. That's why our cause marketing applications are designed to make it easy. Our Facebook Like Us Give Back can be live in a day and will help your cause get more leverage from your contributions by aligning it with fan growth.
We know you're busy. That's why our cause marketing applications are designed to make it easy. Our Facebook Like Us Give Back can be up and running in a day. It is designed to help your cause get more leverage from your contributions by aligning your donation with fan growth. Businesses like Tradewinds Island Resorts and Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon have used this application successfully to help strengthen a cause they feel strongly about.
Our Make the Match matching donation campaign can also go live in a day. All money received from donations will be handled by an established donor-advised fund, and securely transferred to the charitable 501(3)c cause you select. That means you won't have to put your time and effort - or any staff time - into accounting for donations. All donors participating in your CafeGive matching campaign will automatically receive a receipt showing their tax-deductible contribution. This is one of our most popular applications and has been utilized by Mayer-Johnson, PGE, and many others to make their giving go further. (see example here)
By removing all the traditional barriers to giving, CafeGive hopes to help increase this year’s giving, and help more communities. Won't you join us? Contact info@cafegive.com and tell us which cause you'd like to help this year. We'll be happy to help you make a difference.
