How Money is Made on the Internet

Many people purchase items online and never realize that they provided someone a commission for the sale. We've all gotten the annoying emails that want us to click on a link and most of us realize someone is getting a commission for bothering us. However, any website that you visit with links to a store likely gets a commission for that link.

Just today I was researching solar panels for my house. The first page that came up had some good information and a lot of links. I could tell when I clicked on the links that most of the links were to earn commissions. Does this make the site less useful? Maybe, and maybe not. Another example of useful sites that get commissions are the price-comparison or coupon-finding websites. I've used these sites a lot, and often I feel they deserve the commissions.

Some people are out to send spam emails or set up useless sites just to get clicks. Some of these people are very wealthy, and you can be sure they keep every dime of their commissions. Some sites are meant to appear informational and are often very useful. These sites use commissions to pay for professional staff who write reviews and create the content that brings you to them.

Parish Funding and Innovative School Funding fall into another category of websites. These sites offer rewards for purchases. Some of these sites make big money on getting your personal information, which is worth more to them than the commissions on your purchases. Parish Funding and Innovative School Funding are websites specifically created to raise funds for non-profit organizations, and they don't collect any personal information. Their theory is to get as many sites up as possible for free with a low percentage taken from commissions offered by retailers.

You're going to spend money online anyhow, so you choose what kind of company gets the commissions for your purchases.

How to Make Money for Non-Profits

So you've got the dilemma of making a non-profit "profitable" and you're looking for a good fundraising tool. Either Parish Funding or Innovative School Funding might be the right choice for you. Both of these sites help non-profits raise money using online shopping.

We're not talking about shopping for over-priced cookie dough or Christmas ornaments. Shop over 400 major online retailers with no difference in price. Parish Funding and Innovative School Funding simply receive commissions for directing you to the retailers, and everyone's happy.

So if you want to raise money for church, school, or any other non-profit, check out what Parish Funding and Innovative School Funding can do for you.

Fundraising for Churches



If you are looking for a new way to help fund your church, Parish Funding might be the right choice for you. Parish Funding uses the vast online marketplace to collect new funds for your church.

Basically, people shop online as they normally would. When they click through Parish Funding and buy an item, a commission is given to Parish Funding, and a percentage of this commission is donated to the church (75-85%). Commissions range from 1% of sale price to as much as 30% or more, but no matter what, people will be buying what they want while supporting their congregation.

Online Auctions for Non-Profits

You can make money using online auctions, and you can spend more time than it's worth doing it sometimes. If your school or church wants to sell off old items, a rummage or non-online auction might be a better option.

The internet can be used to help you make money for your non-profit, but a lot of it takes time and expertise. The professionals at Parish Funding and Innovative School Funding have spent the time researching internet marketing and acquiring relationships with retailers. Still, the only way Parish Funding and Innovative School Funding make money is through managing multiple sites, so going at it alone might prove frustrating.

Take a look at what Parish Funding and Innovative School Funding can do for you, and then ask yourself if you really want to tackle online auctions to raise money for your non-profit, or if you would rather promote a site that offers people what they really want from the internet--good bargains on quality merchandise from trusted sources.

Fundraising for Schools


Are you looking for an easy method to raise money for your school or school activity? Innovative School Funding was created by two teachers who realized that their school never seemed to have the funds it needed, while they were told each year they would have to do more with fewer resources.

Innovative School Funding uses the online marketplace to donate money to schools. People shop online and a commission is received for referrals. A large percentage of the commission is then donated back to the school (75-85%).
