Plumfund Allows Online Fundraising For Special Causes

— August 11, 2015 — Business
Plumfund is a unique crowd gifting platform, developed by the people behind Honeyfund, that allows for online fundraising targeted towards specific causes and standard special occasions, all free of charge.

This platform takes into account the nuances and complexities of gift-giving etiquette, and allows you to help individuals who are raising funds, whether it's for a celebration -- such as a wedding or graduation -- or a hardship, such as raising money for a medical procedure.

Unlike services that charge high fees or place fundraising restrictions, Plumfund is completely free of charge, allowing for unrestricted giving. This allows for online fundraising activities to represent the highest value possible, with the reduced credit card fee of only 2.8% + 30 cents ensuring that recipients -- and not the fundraising website -- get the maximum value.
