As a non-prophet organization working for the improvement of orphans’ lives, we have always found it tough to raise funds for Premium membership. Our request is, could we not be considered free access to some funding that would later help us pay Premium membership? Please consider the orphans around the globe.
Hi Roy,
Premium membership is access to our huge donor database; sample proposals that were successful in attracting major donors for their projects which means you can create an effective proposal for your cause and attract relevant donors to make that sustainable; fundraising guides guiding you through approaching the donors, conducting fundraising activities and more; training videos that train you through fundraising activities and strategic planning to make your organization and project sustainable. More you will receive funding alerts in your inbox prior to general users to keep you ahead of rest of the world in approaching relevant donor. These are only few of our features.
We need huge human resource, technical and time investment in providing the premium members with these services. The premium membership fee we charge is the expenses we make in providing the service. So, we are not able to provide free membership for now.
Thank you!
