SMARTRAISE

Glassboro High School grad Robert Moore launched the website SmartRaise.com.

It's an online tool to teach people how to successfully fundraise for schools, community groups and other causes.

Moore told Action News, "In high school and college I was involved in a lot of extra curricular and organizations and they all had the same need, which is fundraising. But, we found a lot of those fundraising needs were sub par."

So Moore thought why not set up a program online and capture people while they're already spending money online?

Groups can go to the site and raise money whenever their supporters make purchases through one of the sites retail partners.

"With SmartRaise, they're buying what they're already going to buy the way they were already going to buy it and paying the same price, but you're getting a percentage back," he explained.
