Goods Recycling
Fundraiser |
Give away unwanted goods and earn your favorite community group cash. Rather than go through the hassle of a garage sale, buying a classified, or taking the goods to a charity, why not give them away to someone in your community instead?
We turn this service into a great fundraiser, by suggesting that a 'donation price' which is typically 25% of what you would look for if selling via the classifieds, is placed on the item. The successful recipient donates this amount to the community group, via online payment or direct to the community group. An open and transparent honesty box system powers this initiative. |
Community Web Site Advertising
Fundraiser |
For $200 a year with 60% of this going to the Community Group, a sponsorship ad is both an effective way to advertise and an inobtrusive addition to the sites.
With 5 additonal paid ad positions as standard, it can deliver $600 a year into the fundraising budget.
So why pay $600 for 3 years advertising, when you can get it for $150 and have the additional prestige of being the main sponsor. |

Make New Friends
Community Networking ** Featured Product |
At first glance this may not strike people as the feature product of the site, but in our view this is where the real power of the Community Boosters Package lies.
This is a community building tool that makes forming friendships and business relationships easier.
Submit a business and personal profile with details of your Hobbies and Interests and Work. A great tool for discovering common interests with others that you normally just smile and wave hello to.
Powerful tool for finding new customers, and for finding businesses you can trust. So if you're looking for a friend that supports the same football team, or is interested in Bonsai gardening or Quilting, or perhaps you are looking for a plasterer or a Securities Attorney, then the Co-OpWorld Community Networking system will help put you in touch.
It is tools like that that have had profound effects in helping build a stronger level of community and volunteerism in helping make your community group a more effective and enjoyable organization.
