Research and a fresh perspective on the needs of schools, sports clubs and charities has identified real world fundraising problems that Karadoo’s markets face – and the company has developed the solutions to them. The platforms offer unique features to broaden fundraising options and maximise success – all for a simple, transparent and competitive fee. Investment of over £400k in highly automated platforms, and a low risk, hybrid operating model offers efficiency and easy scalability. The vision: “To make online fundraising easy, EFFECTIVE and affordable, for everyone, everywhere” The mission: “To operate the GO TO fundraising platforms for our markets, providing the best service"
Flexible fundraising enables schools and charities to “Crowdfund a Project” or run a “Regular Giving” campaign. Sponsorship function encourages each client’s own crowd to raise funds on its behalf, with a unique “Leaderboard” encouraging competition. Karadoo is fully authorised by the FCA for P2P lending and equity crowdfunding so sports clubs can raise funds on InvestMyClub by way of donations, loans or equity – or a combination of those - from almost anyone. No other fundraising platform can do that. With the innovative Premium Service, their experts help to create the campaign content plus a suite of communications, and manage the campaign to maximise success.
All schools and sports clubs need additional funds to invest in equipment and facilities, but options are limited e.g. grants are slow and complex and result in rejection or partial allocation. Charities face a £5bn crisis. Over 50% of the annual £10bn donations are cash, but it diminishes each year. Charities rapidly need to migrate to online fundraising or their very existence is threatened.
Fundraising is hard work and 71% of charities feel that they do not have the in-house expertise.
Karadoo's platforms offer:New, flexible funding solutions; Clear, competitive pricing; A unique Premium Service "It is like having an additional member of staff!"
Karadoo is early revenue. The concept and demand are proven, and the company is invoicing each month.
Revenue is a simple marketing fee charged as a % of funds raised, whether donations (incl. Gift Aid), loans or equity – no subscription fee and no additional payment processing fee.
Whilst delivering loan and equity fundraising solutions is more complex and incurs more cost, these campaigns are likely to be much larger than most donations campaigns, and therefore breakeven is a relatively low % of the fee generated.
Regular Giving generates a steady stream of annuity revenue which yields a valuable enterprise value. DonateMySchool is already seeing repeat campaigns being launched.
