Dedicating Dollars LLC Information

Dedicating Dollars is an online fundraising company established as a means of helping an individual or organization raise funds for a cause or event. We understand that people are always faced with financial challenges in their lives and we are here to help! How does online fundraising work? It's a simple, easy, and effective way to raise money through your network of friends and family who are willing to donate towards a worthy cause. This type of fundraising is also called Crowdfunding and it has shown to be a proven means of gathering funds to assist someone in a time of need. How much does Dedicating Dollars cost to use? There is no out-of-pocket cost to you to use our website, however, there is an 8% fee for every dollar contributed on the site. This means that 92 cents out of every dollar given goes directly towards your fundraising campaign. This is drastically different than many non-profit charities which use approximately 40%-60% of every dollar donated towards their internal fixed costs (salaries, rent, etc.). This means only a fraction of your donation will actually be used for the cause that you think you are donating towards. We believe in transparency for our fees and in putting the maximum funds possible raised towards the cause. How are fundraisers on Dedicating Dollars verified as legitimate? Is there fraud protection? We do our best to monitor each and every fundraising campaign to ensure that it is legitimate. However, fraud is an unfortunate reality in this day and age. We have established a "fraud" button on our site that will allow other visitors/users "flag" a campaign if they learn of a fraudulent situation. In addition, we have been pleasantly surprised with the amount of "self-policing" that occurs in our industry. Typically, a friend or family member will make us aware if they suspect fraud being committed and we will immediately shut down the fraudulent campaign if that is the case. Should people use Dedicating Dollars even if they have insurance?
