We are a Crowd Fundraising site designed for the specific purpose of helping people raise funds to take care of serious issues affecting people’s lives. You can raise funds for many different purposes including paying for medical bills, food, housing, rent, home repairs, emergency travel, security, safety, just to name a few. The funds you receive are tax-free, and the person making the donation receives a tax deduction because we have a special non-profit status granted to us by the IRS. We are different from other crowdfunding sites because we can give the donor a tax deduction while other crowd funding sites cannot.
For individuals looking to use our site you must have a legitimate need that you cannot afford. A need is defined as something that a person needs to live a healthy life. By way of example, we may approve a campaign for someone to purchase an inexpensive used car so that they can get a job. We will not approve a campaign for someone that can afford to purchase a car or someone that has a job and can get to their job using public transportation. We also do not allow campaigns for pets, however you can have a campaign to train a dog that provides medical assistance to you as long as a doctor has prescribed the dog.
Crowd fundraising has been gaining immense popularity as well as recognition globally for its number of positive impacts and social benefits. When you ask family and friends for help, they are likely to share your campaign through Facebook and other social media resources. When others share your campaign with their friends and family, you reach people you do not personally know and raise money you could not have raised on your own.
In the process of crowd fundraising, the needed funds are collected from a crowd of people to help (in the form of donation) an amount of money for a specific purpose. Thus, the recipient collects funds to reach their desired goals, and the donors receive a tax deduction. Because of our special non-profit status, GiveTaxFree.Org is probably the best fundraising websites because both the recipient and the donor receive a benefit.
We are the only non-profit Crowdfunding site designated by the IRS to provide tax write offs to people that make donations. When you help someone in need, your taxes are lower.
To encourage the Christian value of helping others in need.
