[February 27, 2009] Innovative Fund-Raising Website Helps SupportOurTroops.org Tweet Tampa, Fla., Feb 27, 2009 (PRNewsChannel.com via COMTEX) -- As the current economic downturn forces people and businesses to cut costs and tighten their belts, non-profit organizations have seen record lows in donations. But, one innovative new website hopes to change that, by making it financially favorable for companies to donate to charities, according to the founder of SupportUsNow.org. SupportUsNow.org is an online platform that gives non-profit organizations an easy way to raise funds while also offering on-going recognition to sponsors. With this altruistic business-charity relationship in mind, companies are given an opportunity to market themselves and give back to their community at the same time. Any business is going to do advertising and most companies are going to donate money to their favorite charities, says Ty Sherrill, founder of SupportUsNow.org. The challenge is: it can get away from you real quick. You can give away your profits trying to support your favorite charities. With our website, businesses can write off their donation and get long term advertising. All a charity or non-profit organization needs to do is bring their logo to SupportUsNow.org and the website will take care of the rest. Heres how the process works: SupportUsNow.org will break up that logo into small mosaic tiles, which are displayed on the website. Then, supporters can sponsor a tile for $100 and show off their own name or logo. Supporters can sponsor multiple tiles to increase their presence. When an Internet user comes to the site and moves his or her cursor over mosaic tiles, an information box with the supporters name and a short marketing statement will open, which includes a hot link to the supporters website that sponsored that tile. Well have separate logo sites launched for several different charities in the coming months, but as a veteran I wanted to start with SupportOurTroops.org. Were excited about helping out an organization that makes our community and our world a better place, says Sherrill. People and businesses want to help out and theyre thinking, now what do I do? Weve made it easy for them to come to our website and sponsor a tile becoming a part of the logo of SupportOurTroops.org. Each mosaic is individualized for a charity or non-profit organization and guaranteed to be active for at least 5 years. SupportUsNow.org will print out the final design and make posters and other prints, which sponsors and charities can proudly display.
