We are involved in our communities and our kid's schools. We were entrenched in community based fundraisers...you know the ones? Candy, popcorn, wrapping paper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kid labor...shipping...storage...waste...a lot of work...for what. $.35-. 50 on the dollar?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There had to be a better way. We launched an ebased fund raising site designed specifically for community based organizations that allows them to more effectively tap into their communities...effortlessly!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.memsaic.com/"&gt;http://www.memsaic.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The concept is simple. Organizations go to our site and within minutes create a "Memsaic" - a virtual memory wall - that is sent to their community. Members, friends and family, neighbors make donations by purchasing bricks on the Memsaic and upload pictures to show their support - &lt;strong&gt;mem&lt;/strong&gt;ories captures in mo&lt;strong&gt;saic&lt;/strong&gt; form. As the wall fills a community is showcased coming together in support a cause they care about - their local library; school; little league team. The Memsaic can then be presented back in Slideshow and CD ROM. Our goal is to use a little community based peer pressure to increase the effectiveness of efundraising. Our first beta-test had a 25% response rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is designed for organizations and/or cause champions who would raise money of behalf of an organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope you check us out. We'd love your feedback as we are just getting underway!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5416912543149052126-1272067272790889551?l=memsaic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://memsaic.blogspot.com/feeds/1272067272790889551/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5416912543149052126&amp;postID=1272067272790889551' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5416912543149052126/posts/default/1272067272790889551'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5416912543149052126/posts/default/1272067272790889551'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://memsaic.blogspot.com/2008/01/better-fund-raising-mouse-trap.html' title='A better fund raising mouse trap'/><author><name>Mark Keaney</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08047052858184177555</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
