What is the Online Red Kettle campaign?
The Salvation Army Red Kettles have been an American tradition since 1891 and now this campaign allows us a means to broaden our traditional fundraising efforts by allowing you to host your own Red Kettle online. By helping us fill our Red Kettles, you can become a vital part of our Christmas efforts to help those in need who would otherwise be without this Christmas season.
What type of online Red Kettles are being offered?
- Personal Kettles – as an individual you can host your own online Red Kettle by customizing your own Red Kettle Page and then invite others via email to fill your kettle with secure online donations.
- Group Kettles – as a civic group, school, or any other organization you can host your own online Group Kettle. A Group Kettle allows your members to fundraise independently with their own Personal Kettles yet all kettle donations will also be reflected automatically in your Group Kettle.
- Business Kettles - as a business you can host your own online Business Kettle in a co branded environment with The Salvation Army. The amount of money collected in your kettle will be reflected real time. A link to your online Business Kettle Page will automatically be provided which you can place on your internet/intranet site or email blast out to your employees, vendors, customers, etc.
How Does it Work?
