DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE CAMPUS FUND RAISER SYSTEM

Thesis Overview

1.1 INTRODUCTIONThe Internet has opened up a whole new world that nonprofits large and small are using to expand their universe of influence and support. The Internet lets even small or local organizations in every work of life reach out to potential supporters around the world and around the clock. Fundraisers are especially excited about online opportunities for locating new donors and for adding a new communication channel for cultivating existing donors.Successful online fundraising programs generally have two major components. The foundation is an informative, interactive web site communications program which, together, help build relationships with your website visitors and the people you get to sign up for your email newsletter or online advocacy program. The second component, often overlooked, is a strategy for attracting new people – especially potential donors – to your site, so you can begin the relationship-building process. Online fundraising can’t exist in a vacuum. The success of your online fundraising program will be largely dependent on your organization’s overall Internet presence as well as your traditional offline activities.How can campuses effectively integrate the Internet into its strategy for fulfilling its mission? With the Internet’s growing importance, influence, and widespread use, nonprofits have new opportunities for communicating with their constituents, getting their work done, and garnering support. The Internet isn’t replacing other media, but it is taking its place alongside them. Most notable is the role that an online donor system is playing in the operational capacity of nonprofit organizations. This system has created a sea change as a tool for communicating with donors and colleagues, alerting activists, and disseminating information. Initially, the Web created a revolution in “brochure-ware,” allowing nonprofits to reach many new supporters and media with simple sites. New services enable even nonprofits with the smallest budgets to sign up members, take credit card donations, sponsor online discussions, offer surveys, put up searchable databases, and much more. As a complement to existing methods, the Internet is a medium that has finally come of age for a nonprofit sector that is hungry for modern and effective campaign tools and techniques. 1.2     PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this research is to develop an online campus fund raising system, for students’ to easily raise funds/ donations towards a particular project and challenges faced in the school campus.
