Fundraising Software

I found this software and I'm interested in using it to raise money for a non-profit corp. that I'm an officer in. Does anyone have experience using this or know if it works?

Fundraiser 1.0

Sounds a bit to me like a pyramid scheme but targeting fundraisers.

Yeah, and it doesn't tell you exactly how the money is raised. I found it a bit suspicious, but they were verified by the SEC and approved by the Internet Trade Bureau so I'm not sure what to think.

Fundraiser program is ideal for small start ups and fundrasiers, and all it takes is $4.99 for software, and $10. to start with basic program. Although it may look like a pyramid, you are soliciting funds from others which are leveraged according to your efforts, so it is legal and registered with SEC. Because you can use funds for small business start ups, or fundraising, you do not need to be a registered 501 (c) 3 non profit organization which is very complicated process for most. I use to be a registered non-profit, and the reporting paperwork is brutal.

Good luck, Mike
