So why a membership for Organizations, Businesses and Entrepreneurs desiring to raise funds?

WAYSEED is a robust fundraising platform that provides a real value to Organizations, Businesses and Entrepreneurs that are serious about making a positive difference in our world. It is a fact that services that charge a membership fee have a higher perceived value over those that just let anybody in. It is our estimation that a greater success rate for our Organizations, Businesses and Entrepreneurs will result by the requirement of membership in that we are vetting fundraisers making the outcome and quality superior to our competitors. FREE services are abandoned more frequently bringing the quality of the service down, while paid membership services are valued and used for their purpose. It's a win, win, win!

Furthermore, the membership offering at WAYSEED is a great value in that similar services offering CROWDFUNDING (like GoFundMe.com) charge twice as much in fees to the BACKERS as does WAYSEED. Also sites offering a MARKETPLACE (like Shopify.com) can charge up to $299 a month just for one online store, not to mention the added value auctions. Some business DIRECTORY websites charge a monthly fee for premium services ranging from $15 to $99 a month and CLASSIFIED ADS sites charge by the ad which really adds up (no pun intended). You can see know what makes our $30 monthly or $300 yearly membership fee a smoking value. Come Join us Today!
