Review: MyFiki

Many donors are of the mindset that they don’t want to give money to a nonprofit organization. Instead, they want to donate time, goods, or services so they know that their hard-earned money isn’t going to line some CEO’s pockets. Although pessimistic, nonprofits are not immune to scandal and when it occurs it scares away potential donors who want to give back. Enter, MyFiki (My Fundraising Initiatives built on Kindness and Involvement); a website that allows nonprofits to create an Amazon Wish list. Instead of donating money directly to the organizations, donors can purchase items off of a charity’s wish list and send it directly to them. This way, the charity is getting items that they need whether it’s school supplies, food, or other necessities and donors know exactly what they are buying, because they’re the ones that bought it.

Many products and companies come to be out of necessity. The founder figures out an easier way of accomplishing a tedious yet essential task pertinent to the industry and the rest is history. Case in point, Qvinci. At the time of conception, CIO and founder Charles Nagel was working in turnaround consulting. He would continuously see the same problems over and over again in both small businesses and nonprofits, especially those with more than one location.

Nonprofit organizations who are just starting out rarely have large staff. In a majority of the cases, the staff they do have are wearing multiple hats, whether it's grant writing, managing the books, or interacting with clients. The roles they can't fill themselves, they outsource to professionals spending money that the organization might not have.
