ieco community fundraising hopes to alleviate funding concerns for local organizations.
VANCOUVER ISLAND, January 27, 2010: The ieco community, a homegrown and eco-conscious new fundraising company, launched their website and online market in November of 2009.
“Our goal,” says Karen Lane, ieco community client services manager, “was to create a continuous fundraising program that did not require collecting money or time-consuming organization.”
The fundraising program, explains Lane, is intended to be an alternative or complement to traditional fundraising programs. Schools, registered sports teams, non-profit groups and other community organizations register with the ieco community and then encourage their supporters to shop at the ieco community marketplace, which offers a selection of name-brand natural lifestyle products. 15% of each purchase is donated back to the shopper’s community organization of choice.
“Our fundraising program addresses what we see as the largest problem with many traditional fundraising campaigns,” says Lane, “the immense time that volunteers spend organizing and promoting their fundraisers. We look after all the taking and processing of orders and payments, which we hope will alleviate much of the stress and hassle often associated with raising funds.”
“Best of all,” Lane continues, “organizations will never be asked to pay any fees, pre-purchase any products, or meet any quotas, so the program is risk free.”
