Hi there! I've seen that there are a lot of people with different specialties on here than I imagined, so I'm going to try this out. We are a small NPO where $25 can make a huge difference, and anytime I've done fundraising I can't get past the $100 mark.
We have received a ton of donated items and store credits but have yet to find a way to make some money in order to pay for the stuff we actually need! Maybe some one out here has done fundraising and knows what I need to do this right?
