FundraiseMePlease is destined to create opportunities for small to medium sized organizations to fundraise utilizing simple, effective, and proven strategies that circulate the dollar within the black community.
What Pushed Us towards this
Motivation
OPPORTUNITY
According to a study conducted by the University of Georgia and released by the UNCF, the HBCU retail industry spends $15B a year. Unfortunately, small chapters of these schools rarely, if ever, have access to those dollars.
IMPACT
Much of the time, it’s the small chapters that have their finger on the pulse of the community and operate with smaller budgets than necessary to make a larger impact.
BLACK DOLLAR CIRCULATION
We are changing the game and returning profits from this industry back to organizations that need it through one fundraiser at a time.
who we are
Our Story
In 2016, I traveled to Dubai and saw some amazing 24K Gold Cards. After buying many of them as gifts, I decided to have a deck custom made with my alma mater, Florida A & M University, printed on them. There were so many Rattlers that loved them that I decided to purchase in bulk. They sold quickly and that inventory evolved into a variety of HBCUs, fraternities and sororities, marching bands, highlights in Black Culture, and many more to come. In 2020, I made a leap of faith and left Corporate America to pursue this opportunity full time.
In 2021, our organization recognized a need for an entity to primarily focus on raising money specifically for HBCU local chapters. That idea has evolved into FundraiseMePlease and we are proud to boast that, in a short time, we have partnered with many organizations to raise tens of thousands of dollars for organizations that were tired of conventional fundraising.
