Project Getaway

BetterNow – YouTube meets fundraising
Fundraising platform. Launched in 2010
BetterNow is a fundraising platform which seeks to target the online/social audience, which enjoys watching videos online. The rationale for the need for such service is furthermore that many people today avoid contributing to fund raising projects, simply because they do not know what the money goes to.
By introducing videos for all the fundraising projects we support, we will clearly communicate what the money will go to, and also follow up with thank you videos from the individual people being helped.
We hope to expand the platform rapidly to several new countries, so if you are interested in collaborating on a local version in your country, please do reach out and help us spread the word about BetterNow.org!
In any case, please do have a look at the site and spread the word through your Twitter and Facebook.
Thanks for your support!
