Welcome to Fundy! I am so happy you found us and I know you will be too. Fundy will be your game changer in fundraising. I have spent the past 20+ years volunteering for many, many organizations. From PTAs to environmental causes to social groups to Meals on Wheels to sports club and many more. I have served on Boards as well as in the trenches. The one thing every organization has in common, regardless of their purpose, is the need to fundraise. And that fundraising is usually a pain point. It requires a lot of organization, time, many volunteers, high expense and usually does not bring the kind of income return that the organization needs, requiring many events and more time and more volunteers. It’s a vicious cycle. Sound familiar?

It was this knowledge and experience that led me to dream up Fundy. If I had a nickel for all the times I uttered or heard someone else utter “There has to be a better way.” I could probably fund all these organizations for years. Fundy IS the better way. With a very low to no cost outlay from the organization, and requiring the effort of only one volunteer, with an 80% income return to the organization, it is a no brainer. Sound good? It gets better. Beyond the ease of set up and use, Fundy helps you build a strong community spirit among your supporters. Keeping them engaged with your organization and enjoying their time raising money for you. We all know that it is that spirit which helps non-profits thrive and achieve their ultimate goals of service in whatever their function is.

I know you’re thinking, “So how does it work?”. Allow me to explain. You play online trivia games with your community, have fun and get paid. One person comes to www.fundytrivia.com and registers a new game. They will select the date and time, the amount of money they would like to ask each player to pay, decide if they would like to keep the game private to only their community who they invite, or allow it be public, allowing for anyone looking for a trivia game to pay to play with them. They can also choose to add a custom category, for which they would write their own questions and answers to supply to Fundy and can also request certain themes and categories for the game. The cost to the organization to register a game is a very low 50.00. This registration fee can be covered by the organization or can be paid by a sponsor, who will get recognized for sponsorship to all the players. Fundy will then provide the organization with marketing materials to send out via email and social media networks to their community telling them about the Trivia event, and giving them links to register to play. The organization will use those materials to engage their audience. On the date of the game. Fundy will send reminders to all the players who have registered, with the link to the game. A few minutes before the game is to start, the players will follow the game link and sign in. The game will run automatically and the community will have fun competing. Games can be run with an accompanying zoom feed for those players who want to chat and enjoy the experience together as well. After the game concludes, Fundy will send one more email to the players, thanking them and letting them know how much money they raised for their cause. Fundy will then send 80% of the player fees to the organization. Done. Fundy will not store or collect any of the player contact info for our use, however we can provide that information to the organization, with permission from the player and with the interest of the organization.

For illustration purposes, let’s say your organization registers for a game and decides to charge 10.00 per player. A “player” is denoted as a unique email address. So a “player” could be one person at home, or it could be an entire family at home playing together. They will pay the player fee per email address. If your organization has 30 players (unique email addresses) sign up to play, your organization will receive 240.00 back from Fundy. The numbers change based on how much you want to charge per player and how many players you have sign up. If you wanted to run a weekly game for your organization, you would raise 960.00 per month (using a 4 week month and the example numbers above). All for engaging your community in a fun evening of trivia play, all from the comfort of their homes.

Now, if you wanted to have everyone be together at one location to play, we can do that too. We will also be offering Bingo as an alternative to Trivia. The trivia game can be customized in length by how many rounds you wish to play. Want it to only be 30 minutes? We can do that. Want it to be 90 minutes? We can do that. Want to just have a trivia day, where the game runs on a loop for a set amount of hours, instead of having everyone available at the same time? We can do that too. Fundy is very flexible and very customizable. Allowing your organization to use it how it best works for them. Games can be run as teams, where one team of players competes against another team of players, or it can be run as individual players. The sky really is the limit. Since Fundy is a new business, I am learning alongside you, so if you dream up a way you would like to utilize Fundy that isn’t listed on the website, let me know! Fundy will be happy to work with you in customizing your fundraiser experience.
