Has anyone had good luck raising money online for a local cause? I created a Teespring shirt today for a local school's music program, but I would love other options. Suggestions for improvements would be great also: teespring.com/MontagueMusic |

My SIL used Booster to make Tshirts to sell to help with nephew's medical/final expenses, I'm not sure if that was easy or not. All I know for sure is that the sale is over and I'll get millions of emails from now on.  And Go Fund Me too, just for general donations. I have no idea how either site works and there hasn't been much traffic, but maybe it's because the word hasn't been spread well enough?  |

I am trying to spread our link via Facebook to all the locals. We have a community forum that contains 10% of our population.
I don't think either site will get any traffic unless you send people there directly.
I am interested to see how it goes.

I have used GoFundMe for straight-out donations (this was to aid the family of a terminally ill friend, so the wife could concentrate on aiding hospice care rather than working as a nurse herself those last few months)
it worked really well for what we needed it to do.

So far so good, I have 9 out of 100 sold. Now, for the other 91. Trying to find places locally to post the link so that parents know about it.
