What is Donate.ly?
It is a peer-to-peer fundraising tool that allows easy individual donations online.
How it works?
Every retreat has a volunteer fundraising campaign goal that is the sum total of each volunteer’s support needs. Each volunteer then becomes a part of the overall goal by fundraising for her individual amount needed. Individuals then support your goal (YOU) by giving to your individual campaign.
