For a limited time entrepreneurs and pet charity organizations may run crowd funding campaigns without paying platform fees on backer’s contributions.
Ironically while pet charities have long used crowd funding to raise funds for their causes, few pet entrepreneurs are familiar with crowd funding as a way to introduce new products and services to the pet marketplace. In an effort to encourage pet entrepreneurs to use this new method of raising funds for their development projects, GoPetStarter.com is, for a limited time, offering its service free of any processing fees. Thus, any project will have no front end fees and for a limited time no back end fees as well. Regular platform processing fees are 4% to 6% of the amount raised.
GoPetStarter.com is a very user-friendly site. Everyone who puts up a project maintains 100% control and ownership as well as responsibility for their project. GoPetStarter provides helpful guidelines and an FAQ making it easy for anyone to create a project page. 501(c) 3 registered charities will be able to grant their donors tax deductions through the site. Project developers may choose an “all-or-nothing” funding model or choose to “keep-what-they-raise”, making GoPetStarter extremely flexible and adaptable to almost every pet friendly crowdfunding project.
While there are many pages of detailed instruction on the site that explain how to create and promote a crowdfunding project, during this promotion period GoPetStarter will offer one-on-one assistance to any project developer that requests assistance. Tom Miezejeski, the Founder, said “We are willing to do whatever it takes to make www.GoPetStarter.comm the go to site for any pet related crowd funding project.
GoPetStarter’s mission is to bring people together for the betterment of pets. GoPetstarter.com provides a platform dedicated to funding everything from pet related products and services to pet-centric TV, films, video, games, books and art to food, treats, healthcare, technology and toys. In addition, GoPetStarter.com invites shelters and rescue organizations to promote their projects and fund drives on the GoPetStarter charity platform. No project is too big or too small. Whether you’re an individual, company, group or charity, everyone can launch a pet related project on GoPetStarter as long as it meets the site’s guidelines and criteria.
Please note that our payment processor, WePay, will still be charging 2.9% plus $.30 on each contribution.
