How It Works

Using our brand-able templates, FrontRunner Fundraising will create your very own online fundraising system that links to your existing website or if you don't have an existing website you can simply use the FrontRunner branded system. This online fundraising system enables you to receive donations and product purchases online. FrontRunner handles all of the secured payment processing, products for the fundraiser, product delivery and disbursement of funds to you.

Easy As 1,2,3

To begin, you will create an account for your orchestra by enrolling at www.frontrunnerfundraising.com. You will need to decide if you want to use FrontRunner's Online Store or if you want to customize your own version. If you want to customize your own version, you will need to email your website URL to support@frontrunnerfundraising.com after you enroll.
Next, determine if you want to be the only person to send emails to potential supporters (Individual Fundraising) or if you will allow others to send emails to their social contacts on behalf of your fundraiser (Team Fundraising).
If you decided to allow other people to send emails to their social contacts, they must join your fundraiser by becoming “Team Members.” To do this, you will create an email campaign to invite them to join the fundraiser as Team Members.
Once other people join the fundraiser as Team Members, OR, if you are the only one that will send emails and you want to get started, the final step will be to create an email campaign(s) to invite all of the friends, family members, and social contacts to support the fundraiser by donating an amount or purchasing a product from your Online Fundraising Store.

Be creative. In addition to sending emails, you can make phone calls, send text messages, newsletters, and flyers, create large posters and do whatever it takes to invite supporters to your online fundraiser.

FrontRunner Benefits

FAST: By using FrontRunner, your fundraiser will have the ability to generate funds in less than 24 hours. Harnessing the power of the Internet allows you to contact your prospects and have them purchase or donate something in minutes rather than days.

LIMITLESS OPPORTUNITY: The amount of prospects that you have access to are limitless. By using email broadcasts you can reach the people that you know and even people that you don't know. You can contact your friend next door, or a family member five states away.

SIMPLE: Creating an email is some thing that we do today without thinking. There is no knocking on doors, products to deliver, or funds to collect. With a few clicks of your mouse, you are on your way.

SAFE: Your Team Members are not required to go door-to-door to ask for support, nor are they required to deliver products. They are also not required to handle cash or money that was used to purchase products.

COST EFFICIENT: You are not required to purchase an inventory of products before you start, nor are you left with unsold inventory that wasted your money. All of the products are shipped directly to the supporter as soon as their funds settle.

FUN: People love to communicate by email. You can upload a picture of your fundraiser and create custom messages. By combining these technologies, your Team Members will enjoy their fundraising experience.

AWESOME PRODUCTS: Your prospects will not be stuck purchasing one product that they may not want to purchase. They will have many options on a variety of products. And, if that doesn't work, they will be able to simply donate an amount of money.

MOST OF ALL EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL: Sending invitations to as many prospects as you can increases the chance of supporter participation in your fundraiser. In addition to this, giving your prospects multiple methods of payment (CC, PayPal, or E-check) and an option to donate an amount or purchase a product will increase the overall success rate even more.
