Welcome to Squidoo Fundraising

Is your nonprofit organization or charity doing fundraising online?   One way you can raise money online is by building a lens on Squidoo.com.

For more fundraising information visit our DiY Fundraising Squidoo lens and our website - www.diyfundraising.com 



*** Since January 2007, 100 percent of the royalties earned by this lens have gone to a Squidoo charity! ***

How to Raise Money for Nonprofits and Charities with a Squidoo Lens 

One of the original purposes of Squidoo was to provide a way for charities and nonprofit organizations to raise money online

How can nonprofit organizations and charities benefit from Squidoo.com?

     Anyone can build a Squidoo lens, for free, on any topic they are knowledgeable or passionate about.

     Nonprofit organizations and charities may build a lens and provide information about their cause or mission. The lens can contain links to the charity's website, logos, RSS feeds, just about anything relevant to the topic or organization can be included in the lens.

     Each lens automatically has Google advertisements placed on it. Every lens gets a share of the royalties earned from the Google ads.

     Another way to earn money is to sell items as an affiliate of Amazon, eBay, or Cafe Press. For example, if your organization creates t-shirts on Café Press, you can feature them on your Squidoo lens and earn money from the sales.

Create a Squidoo Lens to Support your Cause, Charity or Nonprofit Organization 

There is no limit to the number of lenses that can be built on a topic.

Ask your supporters to build Squidoo Lens

     As a way of raising awareness and increasing involvement in your cause, ask your supporters to visit your lens and then build one of their own. Do this instead of asking for monetary donations and see what your results are.

      With a network of lenses, each earning a couple of dollars a day, your organization could be earning a nice sum of money every month.

Register Your Charity or Nonprofit Oganization with Squidoo 

Have your organization added to the Squidoo database of Charities

     In addition to creating a lens, nonprofit organizations may register and be added to the Squidoo database of charities.

     Once your organization is registered, other lensmasters can then choose to donate their earnings to your account, thereby adding another way for your organization to raise money.

     Almost one-half of the lensmasters donate their royalties to the registered charities.

    My Friends of the Park lens has been very valuable to our membership for keeping them informed about what all is going on at our Veterans Park. Recently, one of our Volunteers had a Heart Attack while working at our community built playground and I set up a tribute to him on this lens. His family who could not come down for the special service were able to feel a part by reading the lens. I was so thankful that I had it. http://www.squidoo.com/fotp

    This is a great resource for those of us just learning how to utlize squidoo. I'll be sure to recommend that the nonprofit camps I work with register on squidoo and get their alumni building pages here to raise money for the camps.

    Thanks!
