It Takes A Good Crowd And
A GOOD CONNECT TO WORK THE CROWD TO HELP YOUOVERCOME THE OBSTACLES IN CROWDFUNDING
We are your “Connect” and we have “Connections”
THIS NOT A LOAN. I REPEAT THIS NOT A LOAN!LOANS HAVE LOTS OF OBSTACLES.
IF IT WERE A LOAN AND YOUR LOAN WAS APPROVED, YOU’D GO INTO MORE DEBT ON TOP OF WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.
Americans are drowning in debt, including many churchesand small businesses. The average household is $15,000 incredit card debt alone—Harris Poll as of November 2015.Many churches and small businesses have much more debt.
LOANS HAVE RESTRICTIONSWE ONLY ASK THAT YOUR REQUEST FOR FUNDS BE FOR A REPUTABLE CAUSE, THAT IS
LEGAL, MORAL AND ETHICAL.
WE DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR CREDIT SCOREWE RAISE THE MONEY
WITHOUT GIVING YOU THE THUMBS DOWN FOR ASKING!
1. You request a specific amount you’d like us to raise.
2. We draw up the agreement accordingly.
3. You pay upfront a one-time 5% fundraising service fee (a retainer forservice), based on the amount you want, within 10 days of signing thecontract. We do not require the amount raised to be paid back. It’s adonation to your cause. This is not a loan; it is a fundraising campaign.And we do not seek an equity stake in your business.
4. Once we receive payment, we begin a 90-day fundraising campaign.• 30 & 60 day campaigns are also possible, but have a higher retainer
fee associated with each; respectively.
5. Our success rate is greater than 95% in raising the target amount within the desired timeframe. And…
6. You can always apply for another fundraising campaign anytime in the future, and the same process will apply.
Here is our Simple Six Step Process
Let say a church has a long term goal of buying a newer larger church because itsmembership has grown very rapidly over the past few years. So the pastor and thechurch board decide to start a building fund project. They all determine that theproject will cost $150,000 and take another 3-5 years to complete.
So the following Sunday the pastor announces this exciting initiative to thecongregation of 200 members, and ask that they prayerfully consider adding as muchas each individual family can, to their normal tithes and offerings, toward the newbuilding fund.
If each family only gave an additional $150 more per year, the church would raise$150,000 in 5 years. However, if asked of each member to give just $37.50 thisSunday, they’d raise $7500 that day, which would cover the 5% fundraising fee thatwould allow the entire building fund goal of $150,000 to be raised in 90-days; insteadof five years.
And again, they can always apply for another fundraising campaign at anytime forfuture projects. If you think about it, church or not, this is the best way to fund anymajor project!
Here’s a Simple Example
Sign the required documentsPay the upfront fees to receive the service
AND LET US MAKE THE 90-DAY (or less) CROWD APPEAL ON YOUR BEHALFTO GET YOU THE FUNDS YOU NEED. IT’S THAT SIMPLE!
