Grouprally the Easiest Way for Groups to Raise Money Locally Launches

New community fundraising marketplace turns the best local things to do into an effortless way to raise school, team, and grassroots group revenue, support local businesses and engage participants.

March 4, 2019 - Rockville, Maryland - Grouprally, the first community marketplace to turn 'the best' local things to do into the easiest way for groups to raise revenue, launched in Montgomery County, Maryland. Grouprally lets groups discover and instantly book rallies with top local businesses offering hands-on arts, sports, outdoor activities, games, classes, tastings and more to earn their groups up to 40% cashback for supporter purchases. The modern system runs itself and requires no merchant or group tech, admin or volunteers. The company solves the "who can we work with locally" and "how will we manage it" dilemma for groups and businesses.

The service features over 50 of the top rated things to do in Montgomery County with something for every age and interest. New offers are continually being added. All groups, formal or informal, can use the service for free and keep 100% of what they raise. Businesses list for free to reach a big group market in their backyard, grow sales and deliver positive social impact. Every dollar spent stays in the community.

"Local sales fundraising is a hamster wheel from the last century. You can only eat fast food and sell cheap stuff to raise pocket change so often," said Bob Gordon, CEO, Grouprally. "Groups have no good options, raise little for lots of effort, and make supporters do things they dislike. Grouprally liberates groups to connect with a wide selection of beloved local businesses to raise more, faster, without any admin, sales grind or volunteers. That's a home town grand slam!"

Raising funds for grassroots purposes by increasing local business purchases keeps money in the community – improving civic life and local economic vitality – something most online, chain and product fundraisers work against. Further background follows:

· Grouprally's turn-key system handles any time, product or incentive scenario for two rally types. One-time group events that need an RSVP, or include free or paid tickets. Longer term campaigns where supporters buy on their own.

· All rally interactions occur online, optimized for participant's smartphones, at grouprally.com. There's nothing to print, no apps to download or flyers to hand in.

· Grouprally provides all service, support, and is transparent to the transaction level.
