Welcome to the time of Community Fundraising Building! Online Communities are the latest buzzword. Call them "portals." Call them " sticky sites." Call them what you will. Online communities are focal points of interest and potential centres of influence in the online world. The overwhelming response to Hurricane Mitch, the war in the Balkans, the earthquake in Turkey and the recent floods in Mozambique are just a few examples of global events that have sparked generous offers of help from people around the world. Relief agencies are receiving a growing portion of their donorship online. A South African based website for charities, called ISISA Charities, received the highest rating for Websites of excellence by local Internet Service Provider, IAFRICA and is a Net Guide Gold Site award winner, ISISA was founded by Candor.com as a non-profit charity organisation portal to procure national and international support from those in need. ISISA meaning "to give freely" in Xhosa was launched back in 1996 and was Candor.com's pilot test site for its own Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and credit card transaction technology. Candor.com's executive board has made a decision to find a corporate sponsor/s for www.isisa.co.za this revolutionary charity portal. Candor.com's chairman, Dietmar Frey says, " ISISA is a project that has remained close to our hearts and its unfortunate that it hasn't reached its full potential, although there are some charities that have benefited from the portal, it hasn't yielded the expected returns. We have invested vast amounts of resources and time over the last 4 years into this project and the board has now given management a mandate to find a corporate sponsor/s for the portal." ISISA has the potential to revolutionise philanthropy: By creating Web-based services for companies, nonprofits and individuals that make charitable giving quick, easy and a part of daily life. In offering a direct donation ability, ISISA aims to ultimately provide a searchable database of information about every non-profit in South Africa and current global disasters. To demonstrate ISISA's commitment to increasing the funds raised for non-profits by giving 100% of contributions raised through direct donations selected by the donors. ISISA will revolutionise charitable giving by providing extensive, user-friendly services that connect people and their resources to causes that matter. ISISA has the ideas and services that channel your compassion into action.
Amid the media hype over e-commerce trends and access issues, a growing body of research continues to confirm the Internet's potential to create context for social interaction. The Internet has dramatically changed the way we do business, and now we're taking the technology a step further to make positive improvements in communities around South Africa. ISISA's mission is to inspire giving by making philanthropy accessible, convenient and efficient. ISISA is for individuals ISISA provides the resources and information your need to make educated, efficient decisions about how to take part in philanthropy. ISISA is for nonprofits ISISA’s products and services are designed to meet the needs of non-profit, which is why it gives 100% of the funds generated through direct donation to the selected organisation. ISISA is for companies Encouraging corporate donating, which benefits the donating company and the non-profit organisation that receives the gift. This also gives added value to the company by creating positive public perception and community relations. Wido Schnabel, Candor.com's MD says, "The portal is a brilliant concept to open the wallets of generous surfers and has been welcomed by charity organisations across the globe Once we find a corporate sponsor to take ownership of this project, we will give ISISA an aesthetic revamp with a new look, new features aligned to the sponsors corporate identity strategy and work very closely together with the new driver to also match their requirements." Non-profit Services ISISA is committed to helping nonprofits harness the power of the Internet to support fundraising, by providing web-based services that encourage donors to give generously, and enable you to quickly and easily track the contributions made to the organisations. "We believe that when people donate to charity, they intend for the full pledge to reach the charity they select – not just a percentage of the donation. That’s why the "ISISA Sponsor" will not take a cent of the money intended for charity," said Wido Schnabel. The importance of online presence The Future of Communication The Internet is the easiest and most cost-effective way nonprofits can communicate with large groups of people. Whether your constituents are individuals or corporates (or both), email and websites reach active and potential supporters in ways that potential supporters in ways that traditional direct mail does not. Donor Demographics When compiling donor prospects it is interesting to note that target donors share key characteristics with web users: both have high levels of education and income. In fact, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy's U.S. Statistical Abstract, 75 percent of the donors under the age of 50 are online and 12 percent of this group use the web as its primary source of donation information. These numbers will continue to grow as the public gains access to and aptitude for Internet use. Research Database ISISA's final searchable database of nonprofits allows visitors to locate detailed information about a non-profit organisation. Visitors can search by cause, location and other criteria to learn more about the organisations they might wish to support.
