DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE CAMPUS FUND RAISER SYSTEM
Abstract : Over the years students use manual ways to raise funds to support their election ambitions, help pay less privileged students school dues, sick friends and many other challenges which they face in the school.
To overcome the problems of manual fund raising, the researcher has developed “an Online Campus Fund Raiser System”.
The system which will be implemented on the internet and can be accessed on any operating device, either desktop or mobile devices connected to the internet.
The system communicates with the database residing on a remote server. This system has been built with HTML, CSS and PHP.
The Internet has opened up a whole new world that nonprofits large and small are using to expand their universe of influence and support. The Internet lets even small or local organizations in every work of life reach out to potential supporters around the world and around the clock.
Fundraisers are especially excited about online opportunities for locating new donors and for adding a new communication channel for cultivating existing donors.
Successful online fundraising programs generally have two major components. The foundation is an informative, interactive web site communications program which, together, help build relationships with your website visitors and the people you get to sign up for your email newsletter or online advocacy program.
The second component, often overlooked, is a strategy for attracting new people – especially potential donors – to your site, so you can begin the relationship-building process.
Security Concerns:
Data Breaches: Sensitive donor information could be at risk if the system is not adequately secured.
Fraud Risks: There is a potential for fraudulent activities if the system is not properly monitored and controlled.
Technical Issues:
System Downtime: Technical problems or server outages can disrupt the fundraising process.
Compatibility Issues: The system might face compatibility issues with various devices and browsers, affecting user experience.
How can campuses effectively integrate the Internet into its strategy for fulfilling its mission? With the Internet’s growing importance, influence, and widespread use, nonprofits have new opportunities for communicating with their constituents, getting their work done, and garnering support.
The Internet isn’t replacing other media, but it is taking its place alongside them. Most notable is the role that an online donor system is playing in the operational capacity of nonprofit organizations.
This system has created a sea change as a tool for communicating with donors and colleagues, alerting activists, and disseminating information. Initially, the Web created a revolution in “brochure-ware,” allowing nonprofits to reach many new supporters and media with simple sites.
New services enable even nonprofits with the smallest budgets to sign up members, take credit card donations, sponsor online discussions, offer surveys, put up searchable databases, and much more.
Broader Reach:
Global Accessibility: The system allows alumni, students, parents, and supporters from anywhere in the world to participate, potentially increasing the pool of donors.
Increased Visibility: Online platforms can be promoted through social media and email, reaching a larger audience than traditional methods.
Convenience:
24/7 Availability: Donations can be made at any time, providing flexibility for donors and increasing the chances of receiving contributions.
Ease of Use: An intuitive and user-friendly interface simplifies the donation process, encouraging more people to contribute.
