In the spirit of keeping administrative costs down, The Nature Foundation of Will County has partnered with Flipcause, a company that provides low-cost fundraising technology for small non-profits. One of the unique aspects of this partnership is the relationship that Flipcause has established with hundreds of retail businesses, negotiating on behalf of non-profits for exclusive shopping deals through our website.
