FastTrack Fundraising Helps Inner City Communities
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)-- FastTrack Fundraising, an online provider of fundraising solutions, was recently recognized as one of the country's fastest-growing "Companies to Watch" as part of the annual Inner City 100 List. The national program, awarded by Inc. Magazine and the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC), evaluates and ranks the fastest-growing inner city businesses across a rigorous range of standards and metrics. Former California Governor nominee Phil Angelides presented the award at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. FastTrack Fundraising was one of nine Los Angeles-based companies that received the award. Other recipients included American Apparel, Pacific Outdoor Living, and Giroux Glass. The companies are nimble and innovative, and according to George Gendron, former editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine, "Inner City 100 CEOs are innovators and their companies continue to be a window into the future of the American economy." Companies are honored for "extraordinary growth and innovative business practices." In tough economic times, there is a desperate need for more efficient fundraising as grants dry up for inner city organizations. FastTrack Fundraising, based in the Los Angeles metropolitan hub, understands their plight and aids thousands of inner city communities nationwide by providing highly-profitable fundraising solutions. "By strengthening community foundations - schools, churches, and non-profit programs, we provide a solid base for the community to build upon and prosper," says Harold Y. Tan, founder and CEO of FastTrack Fundraising. "We're here to ease the fundraising process for organizations so that they are spending less time finding critical funds and spending more time on what they do best - educating, inspiring, and providing." To date, FastTrack Fundraising has helped organizations raise over 6 million dollars, which provides organizations the freedom to better serve their members and the local community. FastTrack Fundraising provides a variety of unique, turn-key fundraisers including the popular discount card fundraiser, online fundraisers, and healthy alternatives to chocolate bars. "Just as inner-cities need revitalization, so does the fundraising industry," says Tan, referring to the decades-old industry of overpriced gift-wrapping and basic candy sales. "Our solutions are hassle-free and value-packed so that every hour spent fundraising can be cut in half." All of FastTrack's fundraisers require no up-front costs to start, allowing the organizations a friction-free path to get the ball rolling on fundraising.
