Balanced Fundraising Announces Crowd Funding Project In Partnership with MMA Textiles a Lantana Florida Company To Create Jobs for Veterans

Online, July 31, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The Crowd Funding system reaches out to people for contributions of any amount. Balanced Fundraising is sponsored by WeDoYourMarketing4You.com, also based in Palm Springs, Calif. MMA Textiles manufactures mixed martial arts apparel and other gear for the rapidly growing sport. The two companies announced their joint Crowd Funding campaign today.

Mr. Vicory, Executive Director of Balanced Fundraising, said of the new campaign, "We are working with MMA Textiles to get the word out about their job training program for veterans. We believe that helping these veterans of our military is a very important but under-served segment of the job training universe. Interested parties can visit the website we are sponsoring to see more at Balanced Fundraising.org (http://www.balancedfundraising.org/funding .)"

Dave Pate, owner of MMA Textiles said, "This is something totally new to us. MMA Textiles has a history of helping veterans when they had nowhere to turn for help and this project will permit us to help even more of our veterans to return to productive lives."

Some Highlights of MMA Textiles Jobs for Vets Program
• MMA Textiles started in 2005 by disabled veteran Dave Pate
• Company makes Mixed Martial Arts apparel and other gear for the rapidly growing sport
• The company is certified Made In America Company
• MMA Textiles hires and trains veterans - providing them on-the-job training , a trade and a job
• Currently MMA Textiles has a backlog of orders - causing the company to outsource work to company that do not employ veterans

What Is This Crowd Funding Concept and Why Should You Care?

The concept was not created by Balanced Fundraising, it has been adopted by independent filmmakers as a way to raise funds for their film projects. IndieGoGo and KickStarter are two examples of website that sponsor crowd funding projects. Our approach is to concentrate on helping one cause at a time by helping the organizer to understand the process and set up their campaign.

Objectives

• Help MMA Textiles to raise awareness of the special needs of veterans, many of whom have multiple issues such as being homeless, having substance abuse problems and other challenges that are being accentuated by the current economic climate
• Help MMA to get the financial support needed to put more of these deserving veterans to work and give them training in a trade for life
• Develop long-term employment for more veterans in other businesses like MMA Textiles in the future

How Does It Work?

Simple, we planned a campaign centered around an automated website that can be viewed 24/7 it never sleeps and is ready to tell the story at any time to as many people as wish to listen. It also allows you to make a contribution in any amount on a secure payment network via PayPal. The money is collected by Balanced Fundraising, which charges 10% as a fee for providing the service and maintaining the website. So 90% of the funds you contribute are earmarked and paid to MMA Textiles to support their veterans' job training program.

Why Should Anyone Consider Helping MMA Textiles?
Win! Win ! Win!
• The Veterans Win - a job - a trade - an self-reliance
• The company Wins - productive - happy workers
• You Win - knowing that you have done something to help these deserving veterans
Imagine what this would cost if it were a government sponsored program. For less than a semester of trade school tuition would cost 1 veteran can be employed and trained from entry level to productivity. This is a real example of a jobs program that works.
