GrantsAlert.com Launches National Fundraising Program with eFundraising / QSP Reader’s Digest

Tallahassee, Fla., (PRLeap)– GrantsAlert.com announced it has partnered with eFundraising / QSP Reader’s Digest to launch a national fundraising program for all GrantsAlert.com visitors. The program is patterned after successful implementations with other groups across the country. In addition, eFundraising will power the online component of the program through GrantsAlert.com’s official website, www.grantsalert.com.
Beginning immediately, participants in the fundraising program have the opportunity to offer magazine subscriptions to more than 650 publication titles at up to 85% off the cover price. eFundraising, a division of QSP Reader’s Digest, has developed an innovative online program that enables visitors to send email messages about their group’s fundraising activities to family and friends.
The email message directs recipients to the group’s customized web site, where they may purchase magazine subscriptions. Forty percent of the proceeds from each magazine sale will be returned to the group.
The program also includes the sale of specialized scratch cards, candy bars, cookie dough and other frozen foods and gift brochures. The Scratchcards offer supporters valuable brand-name coupons (including a national coupon offer from Pizza Hut) in return for selecting nominal contribution amounts, 90 percent of which is given back to the group. Group visitors can also sell products from World’s Finest® Chocolate, one of the most recognized names in fundraising. A new line of pre-portioned cookie dough and other gourmet frozen foods (pizzas, cheesecakes, pretzels, pies and more) is also available. Groups may also choose from a collection of catalogs, both seasonal and year-round, offering gift ideas and decorations.
GrantsAlert.com visitors interested in participating in the fundraising program can call toll-free 1-866-599-0068 or log on to www.efundraising.com/grantsalert or www.grantsalert.com and click on the Free Fundraising Kit option.
