What is it about
Fundraisers are essential to organisations in the NFP sector as they can raise awareness of the causes to a new
audience thus potentially
increasing the organisation’s supporter base. Fundraisers can raise income in many ways from
participating in an event such as the London
Marathon to trekking in Morroco to organising a coffee morning. alms.NET provides support for these different processes from start to finish –
from setting up the event and managing it to processing the income and providing acknowledgements.

Why our clients need this
Fundraisers and community fundraising are the main involvements for some of our clients and for others, it is on the increase.
This involvement is wide reaching as it needs to cover events managed by the organisation, ad hoc fundraising by supporters
and also fundraising initiatives in the community – schools, churches, etc.
For managed events, alms.NET provides support for Charity
places and Own places as well as Ballot and Corporate, provision for T-shirts/vest and general resources, minimum sponsorship amount,
registration fees, communication plan including chasing and thanking, and weekly event progress reporting. Ad hoc managed events
require the recording of the events, personalised communication in some cases and resource provisions.
For all the above, processing income from sponsorship forms and ever increasing, the importing of income from online fundraising agencies
such as Just Giving and Virgin Online are also managed by alms.NET.
