New Business Loopah Provides Innovative Fundraising

Taking fundraising from bake sales to positive purpose campaigns and online malls, Loopah supports nonprofit organizations, schools, and other entities with their financial needs through an innovative approach.

Founded by CEO Steve Russo in 2009, Loopah originated when Russo recognized a clear need for innovative fundraising methods after observations as a board member for nonprofit organizations. An online method to raise funds utilizing Positive Purpose Campaigns resulted.

The campaigns gain supporters for a cause through a safe donation platform on the organization’s website. For example, a sponsor may donate $1 for every hour of reading or $2 for every hour of volunteer work performed; and Loopah provides the platform where donations are collected, tasks tracked, and family and friends can connect in a safe online environment.

Additionally, through partnering with E-Bates, Loopah provides a Loopah Mall. Supporters enter the mall through their own website, where they have access to over 1,200 online retailers. Each purchase made through the Loopah Mall earns up to 26 percent cash back for the organization.

With the online platform, Loopah also builds user-friendly websites, and the first 100 nonprofit organization who sign-up will receive a free website.

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce congratulates Loopah and welcomes them to the business community.
