The world of fundraising is changing — fast.
Gone are the days of door-to-door sales, endless order forms, and storage rooms full of unsold candy bars. Today’s communities want fundraising that’s easy, digital, and meaningful — and that’s exactly what product-driven fundraising delivers.
In this post, we’ll explore why this modern approach is transforming how organizations raise money, how it benefits local stores, and why platforms like Fundrify are leading the way.
1. What is Product-Driven Fundraising?
Product-driven fundraising is simple: you raise money by selling real products that supporters actually want to buy.
With Fundrify, organizations partner with local or online stores that list their products on the platform. Participants share their personalized fundraising pages, supporters shop, and a portion of every sale goes directly to the cause.
It’s a win-win: supporters get value, stores reach new customers, and organizations earn funds — all in one streamlined system.
2. How Fundraising Is Evolving
Traditional fundraisers have always brought communities together — from bake sales to car washes to catalog drives. They’ve built memories, teamwork, and real impact.
But as our lives become more digital, many groups are looking for simpler, more flexible ways to raise funds. Managing cash, tracking orders, or staying local can make it harder to reach today’s online supporters.
That’s why more organizations are embracing product-driven, digital fundraising — it keeps the heart of traditional efforts while adding the ease, reach, and transparency of modern technology.
3. The Benefits of Product-Driven Fundraising

For Stores:

For Supporters:

4. The Rise of Community-Driven Commerce
Modern consumers care deeply about purpose. They want to know their money makes a difference. Product-driven fundraising taps into this trend, transforming shopping into an act of generosity.
Platforms like Fundrify make it easy to align commerce with community — bridging the gap between small businesses and the groups that support them.
