Online Donations with ECommunity
Online Donations are now an integral part of fundraising for Charities and Non Profit Organisations.
thankQ Solutions has taken this one step further and developed ECommunity, a community portal that integrates online donations and sponsorship with the thankQ fundraising software.
ECommunity makes online donations and sponsorship easy. After registration, users can either participate in an event, create their own event, or sponsor a participant.
Supporter Participation
Your organisation can create a number of events that your supporters can then register for participation in. Depending on the event, supporters can either create teams or participate as individuals. Other supporters can then sponsor these participants online.
E.g. Cerebral Palsy Alliance's - 20/Twenty Challenge
Supporter Created Events
ECommunity allows supporters to create their own web page so that friends, family and businesses can sponsor them online in the challenge of their choice. They can upload a profile picture and enter all the details of the their event or challenge. They can then email friends to sponsor them for the event.
E.g. Cambodia Housing - Build 10 houses in 5 days.

Supporters can donate online or sponsor participants in one of your listed events. This not only makes it easier for supporters to donate, but the financial information is automatically entered into the thankQ fundraising software.
