fundR Launches New Fundraising Platform

Washington, DC, November 24, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Small and medium sized nonprofits and campaigns often face many challenges with event fundraising due to issues such as budget constraints, donor preference and the lack of access to current technology.  That’s why fundR created tools to help nonprofits and campaigns with an easy-to-use online platform.

“We are thrilled to have launched and to be able to service clients,” said Bryan Surcouf, fundR co-founder. “We created this platform with fundraisers in mind. The idea came from a combination of personal experiences and taking a fundraising class at the Graduate School of Political Management at the George Washington University. These tools will enable nonprofits and campaigns to open new avenues for collecting donations, engage donors and analyze data. The primary goal is to create a cost-effective solution by incorporating different technologies for clients to maximize the donor potential.”
