Raise5

Raise5 is an organization that allows individuals and groups to fundraise for charities and non-profits through micro-volunteering. Users exchange goods and services to raise money for their selected charity, with Raise5 taking an 8% fee on the transaction. According to the "Our Beliefs" section of their website, "...money is not the sole measure of success, but rather a fuel that sustains a business and drives real change."〔(www.Raise5.com, "About Us" section, accessed January 23 2013 )〕
Other related sites include Justgiving, Crowdrise, and Charitykick. Raise5's emphasis is on keeping communities engaged in activism by allowing them to meet other needs (playing, developing a skill, building a portfolio, buying a valued service) while also supporting a cause.〔( www.Raise5.com, "Values" section, accessed January 23 2013 )〕〔(A Talent? Raise5 Lets You Use It To Raise Money For Causes", Fast Company, Whitney Pastorek, accessed January 23 2013 )〕 One reviewer writes that "the vast majority (services ) are actually useful opportunities" but also that "several of the services are a bit out there."〔
==History==
The idea was first pitched at a Startup Weekend event in Toronto at the end of 2011. The first service provided was for one of the co-founders to wear an animal costume and dance.〔( www.Raise5.com, "History" section, accessed January 23 2013 )〕 In May 2012, Raise5 won Sir Richard Branson's 500 contestant "Screw Business as Usual" competition.〔〔(Unite, Jamie Oliver Food Foundation Name Raise5 Winner Of 'Screw Business As Usual' Competition", HuffingtonPost, Alicia Ciccone, published 05/14/2012, accessed January 23 2013 )〕 In September 2012, Raise5 began work with "Impact Engine", a startup accelerator led by Chuck Templeton (founder of OpenTable).〔〔(Engine Accepts First Batch Of Startups For Social Enterprise", Forbes, Tomio Geron, published August 7 2012, accessed January 23 2013 )〕
