In today’s digital age, having a website is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Your camp or chapter should seriously consider having a website, even if it means taking on some monthly or yearly upkeep costs. A website serves as the central hub for your organization, giving members, supporters, and potential donors an easy way to learn more about who you are and what you stand for.

As our world becomes more unpredictable, people are looking to the past to understand the future. More than ever, they’re turning to organizations like the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) and the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC)—the few remaining authorities on preserving Confederate history and heritage. When people search for the truth, their journey often begins with a Google search. But here’s the catch: if your organization isn’t showing up in search results, you might as well not exist.

That’s where we come in.

Let Small Hamster Hosting help you build a website that not only tells your story but also ensures your camp or chapter is visible online. A well-designed website offers a place where people can learn about your mission, engage with your content, and even contribute financially to your cause.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to connect with future members and supporters. Let your website be the voice that carries your legacy into the digital world.

Events Calendar

Your website isn’t just a static page—it’s a powerful tool to keep your camp members and supporters informed and engaged. With an events calendar, you can easily communicate the 5 W’s: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. This helps ensure that everyone knows the details of your upcoming camp meetings, memorials, fundraisers, or special events.

Not only can you share event details, but you can also upload photos and important files for download, giving your audience easy access to resources, flyers, and registration forms. The calendar feature is designed with ease in mind—viewers can quickly add events directly to their phone or computer calendars with just a click, making it simple for them to stay up to date.

A well-maintained events section helps build stronger connections within your community and ensures no one misses a key moment.

Digital Registration for your Camp

One of the biggest challenges facing the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) is how far behind the organization can be when it comes to embracing new technology. If you want to increase your recruitment numbers—especially among younger generations—you need to make the process easier and more accessible. That starts with going digital.

At Small Hamster Hosting, we’ve developed custom forms for your website that allow your camp to register prospects and accept initial dues online. This simple upgrade removes a major hurdle, particularly for younger members who expect everything to be just a click away.

By making the sign-up process quick and convenient, you’ll position your camp as forward-thinking and inclusive of all generations. Let’s leave the “Boomer” status in the past and help your camp thrive in the modern world.

E-Commerce & Donations

Cash is king, checks are nice, but credit cards… well, credit cards are just downright convenient. Today, it’s easier than ever to fundraise and earn money, whether that’s selling goods or accepting donations. Small Hamster Hosting can help develop a donation system that allows users to contribute via check or credit card, offering your supporters the flexibility they need to give.

Your camp or chapter may have specific fundraising goals—whether it’s supporting community events, preserving historical sites, or funding educational programs. By making the donation process seamless, you can significantly increase contributions for these important initiatives.

If your camp or chapter also sells goods, we can assist in setting up an online store. This can include unique items that represent your organization, such as apparel, memorabilia, or handcrafted goods. Your store will track sales, manage inventory, and even generate shipping labels, ensuring a smooth experience for both you and your customers.

Additionally, consider offering incentives for donations or purchases, such as exclusive merchandise or recognition on your website. These incentives can motivate more people to contribute and help build a sense of community around your camp’s mission.

Success stories from past fundraising efforts can also inspire potential donors. Sharing testimonials about how contributions have made a tangible impact can encourage others to get involved.

Let us help you make fundraising and running your camp’s operations simpler and more effective, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—preserving your heritage and supporting your community.
