How's this work?
-Fundly provides fundraising websites to individuals, non-profits, schools and political organizations.

-Fundly allows you to turn each online donation to your cause into a social donation. That means whenever one of your supporters makes a donation, they can instantly spread the word to their like-minded friends on Facebook. This will help your cause get more exposure, build community, and raise more money.

Right now, we are accepting applications for volunteers, and MS LGBTQ+ organizations who need help with funding their causes. This is a soft launch until October 1st when the official fundraiser launches.

Who is this fundraiser benefiting?

-All donations received will be equally split between LGBTQ+ persons and Mississippi LGBTQ+ organizations that apply through Support Mississippi. Payments are made through, and tracked with Fundly.com and Stripe. If more than 10 applications are received, it will be decided among volunteers who needs funding most.
