If you have a legitimate non-profit cause for which you wish to know how to raise funds without spending money on advertising, Twitter can provide a relatively easy fundraising project for you.  Here’s why this is so:

* You have a worthwhile cause – let’s say you want to help a children’s cancer research fund raise money.
* The format of Twitter makes it easy for you to tweet about this fundraising drive and include a link to an article about what the funds can help accomplish.
* If you have a decent amount of followers, there are bound to be several followers who will retweet this information because these followers also believe in your cause.
* As you are not self-promoting but rather promoting for a good cause, you can repeat your tweet more times without annoying your followers.
