We pretty much do all of the work for you so it is as simple as it can be. All we need is for you to fill in the Get Started form and we will start creating your Toy Raising campaign.
Yes, because we purchase in such large volumes we are able to keep the prices very competitive. Sometimes products do go on discount from various manufacturers so we cannot control if an item may suddenly appear at a lower price on another website. What is very important to note though is that all of our prices include national distribution costs as well as use of the Toy Raising platform (hosting of your unique URL and processing of all transactions).
We take all credit card information via a secure server, using the same method that banks and other financial institutions use for their online services. At ToyRaiser.com we take privacy and security VERY seriously. All purchases are processed through our PCI compliant transactional gateway. We use VeriSign SSL digital encryption to ensure the safety of all the information we capture on your behalf.
No, all the information we capture is owned by you. ToyRaiser.com is a service product used by your organization for the purpose of raising more toys. One of the added benefits of going online is also capturing data on your donors who may have previously been anonymous (depending on how you collected your toys). We will not use, sell or keep any of this donor info unless specifically requested by you to do so. At the end of each campaign we will supply you with the entire list of your supporters in the format you require for your internal CRM system.
There is no initial cost to getting your Toy Raising campaign going. We will get everything set up for you. Your investment is your time and effort in using the power of the internet and our platform to raise more toys and help bring more smiles to the faces of the kids you help.
There is a “minimum” that needs to be reached due to some of the inherent costs of running the full program. Because we include all processing, handling and distribution costs in the price of the toys a minimum of $2500 needs to be raised in order to include delivery charges. This means that if you raise less than $2500 worth of toys then the delivery costs will be deducted from the total amount raised thus possibly reducing the amount of toys you will receive (note: you also have the option to take the full value of toys and pay the delivery invoice separately). It is important to make sure that your organization can achieve at least $2500 worth of toys raised in order to maximize the % of dollars that get converted into actual toys.
This is cool. We want you to run as successful a Toy Raising program as you possibly can. This is why we have designed our product and marketing tool kit to be efficient and effective in converting your audience into active donors. But we know there are human and monetary costs attached to promoting and marketing your Toy Raising campaign. For this reason we are offering an incentive schedule that will pay you for being successful.
The program works as follows:
As higher levels of revenue are raised we will offer a “reward” in the value of a % of those funds raised. The reward can be either in the form of credits towards more toys or else a cash donation on behalf of ToyRaiser.com to your organization.
Levels:
$2,500-$10,000 = 5% back
$10,000 up to $25,000 = 7% back
$25,000+ = 10% back
So for example, if your campaign raises 3000 toys that equate to a total value of $60,000 you will receive a credit worth $6000 in new toys (or as a donation to your organization).
Rules for ToyRaiser.com reward program:
Once your organization hits the minimum plateau of $2500.00 raised we will start accruing your reward balance based on the schedule above.
If you choose to convert the reward into more toys then the dollars will be added to your account credit. The toy purchase rules will then apply as per the other funds raised.
Yes, a valid tax receipt for the full value of your purchase will be issued to you upon your purchase in the name of the organization you have supported.
No, you must go to the current campaigns and choose a charity that is already running their online Toy Drive. We HIGHLY encourage you to contact your local charitable organization though and let them know that they should take a look at using ToyRaiser.com to help augment their Toy Raising programs.
No, the prices for the toys you see online include all taxes, delivery fees and transactional costs. There is no supplemental cost to you.
All of the toys available on the site are products that are carried in our inventory. Because the charities may get their toys from a variety of source (including donations from manufacturers, other charities etc…) we always give the charity the option to modify the variety of toys that have been chosen for them in order to ensure that they get the exact mix if toys they need to meet the specific needs of the kids they serve. If the toy you have chosen is exchanged for another toy it will be of exactly the same value. If it there is a cost difference, 100% of the balance will go towards another toy for their program.
No, what we have put together is a comprehensive toy price that includes all of the marketing, transactional and distribution costs (as well as the cost of the toy). Our solution is turn-key for the charity so that your entire donation is used to get the perfect toy into the hands of the kids they are helping out.
What is the BEST thing I can do other than donating a toy?
Glad you asked….be an influencer! Your charity needs you to spread the word about them, their mission and the need for more supporters than ever. We have built in social media and email sharing options throughout the site. Check out the Sphere Of Influence calculator to see just how many people you could potentially influence to help the cause just by taking a few minutes to share out your good deed.
