How does Giving Guru work?
Fundraising...Revolutionized!
Giving Guru was designed to eliminate the frustrations of traditional fundraisers, while providing greater earning potential for our members and their supported schools and groups. Our CommuniFunding Card does exactly that!
Simply use your Giving Guru card as payment for your everyday purchases. Your purchases are rounded-up to the next dollar with that donation going to YOUR chosen school/group.
Your card. Your choice. Your cause.
Participating merchants can offer matching donations, members-only savings, and special promotions. Our platform can save card-processing costs for most merchants. Giving Guru secures these savings as donations to your chosen cause.
Giving Guru is truly a WIN-WIN-WIN for members, merchants, & schools/groups!
YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER FUNDRAISER, JUST A BETTER ONE!
Numerous studies and surveys have proven most parents of school-age children are not happy with traditional fundraisers. Orders, deliveries, collecting money - it's just too much!
Through a recent survey:
- 71% of OK parents prefer to simply donate directly without buying/selling a product.
- 85% of ‘generous donors’ say lack of convenience limits donations to 1-2 times/year.
Through focusing on everyday purchases, Giving Guru provides the best of both worlds – convenience of giving with frequent and consistent support. One athletic director described our program as “cutting out the middleman and giving us his cut.”
That’s an accurate description of what Giving Guru does for fundraising!
MORE MONEY TO YOUR CAUSE!
Traditional fundraisers can only return up to 50% of costs to your cause. To get the best rates with direct-donation services, groups must commit to more work only to get to Giving Guru's minimum return rates. We have streamlined our platform and costs where we return a minimum of 80% to your cause. With Merchant-matched donations, that percentage easily grows to 160% & higher.
Giving Guru is the only fundraising platform that can grow your donation!
24/7/365 FUNDRAISING = MORE MONEY, LESS WORK!
The average American uses a debit card 46 times each month. That allows over 550 fundraising opportunities per year with no selling and without buying anything extra!
Even if using the Giving Guru card for only half of your everyday purchases:
50 cardholders - up to $7,000.00
100 cardholders - up to $14,000.00
500 cardholders - up $70,000.00
All without taking a single order or making a single delivery!
Our Merchant Match program increases your profit!
Multiple cards per family provides unmatched potential. Mom, dad, and even grandma can have a card, multiplying your group's fundraising by 2x, 3x,...5x!
