Non-profit Resources

We often get asked from our non-profit partners for referrals. We thought it would be great to develop a list of tools, businesses and other non-profit organizations to help you in your project. If you know of a resource that would be useful and not listed here, please email Sean or Holly to have it listed. When you contact any of the folks below, be sure and tell them that their friends at Giving Children Hope sent you!

Since many of you look for help with marketing, here’s what we use in our marketing efforts:

Video Camera

We think incorporating video into communications is REALLY important. That’s why we have so many videos in our YouTube, GCHope TV channel. We use Flip Video to do most of our filming. You can apply as a non-profit and then receive 2 video cameras for $150. Plus, they fit in the palm of your hand and are YouTube ready.

E-commerce

We think making a donation should be easy. That’s why we use Foxy Cart. If you are looking for an easy to use system we highly recommend them. If you want to test it – go ahead and make a donation to Giving Children Hope here

Web Site Development

GCHope.org was made with love by The Man Can! If they can’t help you, they will definitely refer you to someone good who can. We think Brett ROCKS!
