Short-Term Mission Teams Raise Funds With Online Fundraising Tool
Carol Stream, IL February 22, 2010—RoundTripMissions.com, a website designed to help equip short-term mission teams for effective service, has released an easy-to-use online Fundraising Tool to help churches and groups raise funds for their mission trips.
Partnering with Sacramento-based Webconnex, the Fundraising Tool uses new technology that allows mission teams to set up customized online fundraising pages in minutes to raise support from among their churches, families, and friends.
Online fundraising has become very popular, especially among younger generations who are replacing mailed support letters with instant messages sent through email, Facebook, and Twitter. The Fundraising Tool provides a customized link that can be passed along through these new media. Another important benefit of this tool on RoundTripMissions.com is how easy it is to track giving.
"If you've led a mission trip, you know how difficult and time-consuming it is to raise funds, and then you often have to manually account for which team member gets the correct checks," says Cory Whitehead, developer for RoundTripMissions.com. "When we were dreaming about a site for short-term mission leaders, we wanted to take mission trip fundraising to the next level. The Fundraising Tool does that by making the whole process much more efficient."
