Qgiv Introduces New Online Political Fundraising Platform

LAKELAND, Fla., March 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Successful fundraising is a critical ingredient in a successful political run. And in today's fast-moving political environment, the majority of fundraising is done online. Qgiv, a leader in online giving, is providing national, state and local candidates with a new tool, Barnstorm™, a political fundraising platform that simplifies and streamlines online fundraising.

"When running for office, the last thing candidates and campaign managers want to worry about is how the online fundraising works. Barnstorm is a straightforward, extremely cost-effective platform that sets up quickly and guarantees fundraising efforts can keep up with the fast-moving campaign," says Todd Baylis, president of Qgiv.

Barnstorm's top features include:

• 24/7 contributions – Constituents can be motivated at any time by a rally, ad, news article or Facebook post. Barnstorm is a fully featured service that guarantees campaigns can accept one-time contributions, recurring pledges or event registration around the clock.
• Seamless brand integration – Political supporters need to feel confident their donation is going directly to the candidate or cause they are supporting. Barnstorm seamlessly integrates with the campaign's existing brand and website, ensuring there are no barriers for the donor.
• Social media activation – Social media plays a huge role in political campaigns. Constituents share opinions, endorsements and more on Facebook, Twitter and other platforms. Barnstorm provides additional visibility for a campaign by allowing donors to easily share their activities – donating or event registration – with their social networks.
• Self administration – Barnstorm includes the best self administration in the industry. The campaign has full control over contribution forms and can easily makes changes. A full dashboard provides real-time views on how contribution campaigns are performing.
