Personal Fund Drive

Personal Fund Drive (PFD) is an innovative fundraising tool developed by rusted code, that offers an easy and effective way for supporters of non-profit organizations to ask their friends and contacts for contributions. While other online tools exist for running pledge/fund drives most are too expensive or require special software, both of which are prohibitive for small non-profits. By leveraging the power of open source tools rusted code was able to create PFD quickly and efficiently. PFD allows non-profit organiations to set up and monitor their own pledge/fund drives and begin garnering support for their cause within minutes.

Using the PFD program, supporters can create personalized web pages, called Personal Fund Drive pages. For each supporter, their PFD page includes text and images that explain the organization they are supporting and the fund campaign. Their PFD page also states their fundraising goal, and includes a thermometer that shows their progress towards their goal, and a dynamically changing "Galaxy of Contributors" showing their friends and contacts that have contributed to the organization, to help them reach their goal.
