In August 2011, TSA USA moved our online donation processing and ORK FAF event to the Blackbaud platform.
The result was a more integrated system and several key changes to ORK operation:
1. ORK funds route as directly-as-possible to the designated local community.
2. Donations go to the virtual Bell Ringer’s local community, not donor’s.
3. Virtual Bell Ringers can change which local Salvation Army they fundraise for.
4. Reporting now readily accessible by DHQ’s.

Why Should you be involved with ORK?
•Our supporters like it! 2011 public surveys responses:
“Easy…”
“I always like to donate each year, but it is so hard to find red kettles anymore. I thought this program was great. I felt like our small family could help out more this way.”
“Great way to raise funds from friends outside my immediate area.”
“ Using email and social media I am able to connect and share my cause/effort and request with friends and colleagues all over the country.”
“I could post it on Facebook and remind people of what the Salvation Army does.”
The Salvation Army Central Territory CRD Conference
Why Should you be involved with ORK?
•Our supporters like it!
“I like that I can help an organization from home [since] I’m disabled & can’t stand for long periods of time.”
“I liked the convenience of it. In our "too busy" world it made it easier to try and collect donations.”
“It allowed me to get others not aware of SA's involvement in the community to participate.”
“This is a great idea for raising money for companies that have colleagues spread out across the USA. It would have been much more difficult and harder to have colleagues participate if we had to do it the old fashioned way.”
