Why organize a common pot?
At Christmas, the desire to mark the occasion with a beautiful present is in everyone's mind. But giving everyone the gift of their dreams is not easy financially.
Getting together with relatives and organizing a common fund is a good solution to preserve your wallet while showing generosity. With many, the possibilities become wider and the pleasure of giving multiplies ... like the smiles at the foot of the tree!
Online jackpots: how does it work?
To create an online fundraiser, you must first register on one of the many sites that offer this service on the web. Among the best known: leetchi.com, lepotcommun.com, onparticipe.com, PayPal or even Bankeez.com, also known for fundraising for charitable projects.
The procedure is generally the same everywhere: an organizer creates the project, sets a prize pool to be reached as well as the donation deadline.
Then, it remains to send an email to the people of your choice to invite them to participate in the common pot. Everyone can choose to contribute to the project by paying directly on the site using their credit card. The entire prize pool is then paid into the bank account of the creator of the event who will take care of purchasing the desired gift.
The advantages of the online prize pool
Safety
With an online prize pool, the deadline for the end of the project is clearly defined. Once the deadline has passed, contributions are no longer possible. This is a good way to get people to participate on time and avoid delays.
Quick organization
It only takes a few clicks to complete your participation in an online prize pool. For the organizer, there is no need to multiply calls and messages to know where the project is: everything is visible from the site interface. A considerable saving of time which allows to escape the stress.
Crossing geographic barriers
Getting all those close to you together for the holidays is not easy. Geographical distance is often the first reason. Sending money by post is not recommended and making a wire transfer can be tricky from abroad. Thanks to the online prize pool, you don't have to travel to participate. The project takes shape from home.
