Social Impact Campaigns
A Smarter Way to Reach Your Fundraising Goal
Make An Impact
When it comes to raising funds for social causes, emergencies, or community projects, choosing the right platform makes all the difference. Social Impact Campaigns (SICs), managed by BrightLeaf Consulting and hosted by Rekonect, offer a seamless alternative to traditional crowdfunding platforms.
Unlike most fundraising sites, an SIC ensures that every donation is tax-deductible, giving your supporters confidence and incentivizing generosity. By partnering with our nonprofit infrastructure, your cause gains credibility and ensures compliance with IRS regulations, while you focus on making an impact.
What’s the difference between a Community Support Fund (CSF) and a Social Impact Campaign (SIC)? A CSF is meant for ongoing fundraising on behalf of smaller organizations that have not yet reached nonprofit status. An SIC is meant for shorter-term fundraising with a target goal and end date in mind for the campaign.
Multiple Ways To Donate
One of the key advantages of an SIC is the variety of ways supporters can contribute. While most platforms limit donations to credit cards, an SIC opens the door to a host of other options. Supporters can donate via e-checks, wire transfers, ACH, Zelle, QuickPay, PayPal, and even through grants from donor-advised funds or charitable organizations.
This flexibility means you can tap into a broader pool of donors, including those who prefer alternatives to credit cards or have access to charitable grants.
Professional Campaign Management
Every SIC is backed by Rekonect’s nonprofit expertise and BrightLeaf’s technical management, ensuring your campaign operates with professionalism and transparency. Funds raised are earmarked for your specific cause but remain under Rekonect’s control to comply with IRS guidelines. This safeguards the charitable purpose of the donations while still giving campaign managers the ability to recommend grants and request disbursals for eligible expenses.
The process is simple, accountable, and tailored to your needs.
Low Management Fees
Traditional fundraising platforms often take high fees and leave fundraisers to navigate compliance on their own. With an SIC, the only cost is a modest 3% management fee on incoming donations. This fee supports BrightLeaf’s operational and technical services, from processing donations to ensuring secure disbursals, leaving more of your funds available to support your mission.

And since Rekonect is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your supporters can rest assured that their contributions align with federal charitable giving standards.
Your Fundraising Solution
By choosing an SIC, you’re opting for a fundraising solution that prioritizes trust, flexibility, and efficiency. Whether you’re raising funds for an individual in need, a community project, or a nonprofit initiative, an SIC allows you to maximize donations while staying fully compliant with charitable regulations.
