YouCaring.com
YouCaring is an absolutely free fundraising international website available for individuals or nonprofits. Please read the criteria carefully. This is intended as a resource for persons with major medical expenses, funeral expenses, tuition expenses, mission trips, pet expenses or rescue, and other specific needs such as disaster recovery.

Permission
If I am understanding this right, it would be to offer YouCaring as a tool for employees and volunteers to use. You are absolutely welcome to post our link for that purpose. Thanks, Luke Miner
