SystemSpecs Technology, an online payment company, has launched FundACause, a fundraising solution for individuals, NGOs, religious organisations, and other groups who desire to raise funds from donors within and outside Nigeria for causes that are important to them in a transparent and secure manner.
Donors from both within and outside of Nigeria could simply connect with any campaign that aligns with them and make a donation using one of the available payment options on the platform.
Demola Igbalajobi, managing director, SystemSpecs Technology, said with a focus on non-investment fundraising, FundACause is the go-to platform for philanthropic individuals and organisations that seek to promote causes that touch lives.
“Fundraisers can set up their campaigns securely on any cause – be it medical, education, political, social or community causes and others; tell a story about their cause with a picture or video; set a campaign target; create awareness for campaigns and share the unique campaign link via email and preferred social media platforms – Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Telegram and LinkedIn. Also, a white-labelled version can be embedded in the fundraiser’s website,” Igbalajobi.
“Donors from within and outside Nigeria can view different campaigns and make donations using any of the multiple channels available. Fundraisers have full visibility over the campaign performance. They can also communicate with donors whilst keeping them abreast of the donation progress,” he said.
Elaborating on the need for a platform for fundraising like FundACause, Igbalajobi said in a society like Nigeria where a lot more still needs to be achieved through social cooperation, “FundACause will foster a community that thrives on impactful living, driving the much-needed positive change in society through fundraising activities and social interventions of well-meaning individuals and groups who strive for overall societal good and advancement”.
