Non-Profits Partner with Fundraising Website to Fundraise on their Own Behalf While Providing Hurricane Relief to Survivors of Katrina
Marietta, GA (ContentDesk) October 7, 2005 -- www.RestoreTheSpirit.com is a philanthropic website committed to raising funds for emergency relief efforts.
Jim DeLaMater founded the site with a vision to form partnerships with charitable organizations and create win-win fundraising opportunities.
Church groups, school groups, PTA organizations, scouts, little league teams and more can split profits between their own fundraising goals and survivors of Hurricane Katrina.
DeLaMater has pledged 100 percent of the profits to charitable organizations.Non-profits can raise money year round and receive unexpected boosts to fundraising when people are compelled to support greater causes such as hurricane relief.
DeLaMater noted, Certainly nobody wishes for tragedies, but when they occur, www.RestoreTheSpirit.com will be positioned to help.
As www.RestoreTheSpirit.com gains popularity, people will know they can depend on us to support all major causes. As customers complete purchases they are prompted to select the specific cause or non-profit organization they wish to support.
Profits are then split between the organization selected and the cause associated with the product (in this case, Gulf Coast Hurricane Relief).
Since most non-profits have established lines of communication with their members and supporters, promoting the fundraiser is as easy as including the information in newsletters, emails or posting the information online.
The program is designed to supplement current fundraising programs.
www.RestoreTheSpirit.com has made it possible for virtually any non-profit to benefit from fundraising year-round.DeLaMater says his marketing and entrepreneurial experience as well as his strong faith and interest in helping people will help ensure success for www.RestoreTheSpirit.com.
At the University of Illinois, DeLaMater earned a Bachelors degree in Social Work, and at his self-owned firm, DataNation Marketing, he has fine-tuned his skills for promoting a cause. I have always wanted to create something great to give back to our community&now I am counting on a whole lot of good people to see the value of supporting this mission. Currently on the website, there are two products for sale: purple and silver magnetic relief ribbons and relief wristbands, both of which proclaim, Gulf Coast & Restore the Spirit!
The wristbands and ribbons are made in America and are offered in quantities from 1 to 100 or more.
Innovative pricing allows customers with different budgets to select from three different prices.
While 100% of profits are donated regardless of price, higher prices result in greater donations. Organizations that wish to coordinate fundraising events or be considered as a recipient of funds should contact DeLaMater at 770-795-7900..

Copyright 2006 Rafael Velez

Commodities are any mass goods traded on an exchange or in a cash market including: cocoa, coffee, eggs, lumber, orange juice, soybeans and sugar just to name a few.

Finally, the most widely followed commodities include oil, natural gas and gold.

Cash For Insurance Annuities
An insurance annuity is an investment instrument sold by insurance companies to the public. The investment insurance annuity may be either a fixed or a variable annuity. If the annuity holder pays a fixed amount to an insurance company, the company in turn pays the annuity holder regular fixed monthly amounts either for a fixed time period or for the lifetime to the annuity holder or beneficiaries.
If the contract has a stipulation of lifetime monthly payments, it is called "annuitization". The company will make monthly payments to holders until their death. If a fixed time period is chosen for the payments, the incomes will only be received until the end of the fixed time period.
The company will invest the amount obtained from the fixed annuities into government securities and bonds having low risk. On the other hand, on some annuities, holders will receive periodic payments depending on the performance of the funds or securities that the company has invested in....
