Crowdfunding & Traditional Peer-to-Peer Fundraising<\/h2>\n

Crowdfunding<\/a> is the basis behind all online fundraising. In a typical online crowdfunding campaign, an organization sets up a website and raises money from donors through this site.<\/p>\n

When you add a peer-to-peer fundraising <\/a>component, your supporters become your sounding boards as personal fundraisers. They create their own websites<\/a> (linked to the main campaign site), write about why they\u2019re participating, and share it with their friends and family.\"use<\/p>\n

At CauseVox, we know that the most effective way to reach a newer, broader audience is through your supporters\u2019 power of recommendation. By fundraising on behalf of your cause, you\u2019re engaging those closest to your cause and raising money from a new audience of donors at the same time.<\/p>\n
