"Charity sees the need, not the cause."- German Proverb
You can raise money without a lot of fuss these days. There are all sorts of grassroots methods that seem to fit perfectly with social networking and social media sites. Post a video or add a widget to your site or blog, then watch people visit and even fund your projects.
What do you need?
First, you need a worthy cause. Your project has to be connected to a cause. It needs to be a cause that gets people excited or touches them right at their hearts and souls. It should be the type of project that makes people feel like they can make a difference.
Secondly, you need to make your project easy to fund. Make it seamless. Make it almost effortless. You fund projects via text message today. That makes it real easy. There are sites that offer you help and support, even tools, to raise money for worthy projects and these make it easy for both you and your donors.
Here are some sites that may be of some help:
