Different Ways to do A Meaningful Fundraiser

There are so many ways to do A Meaningful Fundraiser. Even if your organization has never done one before, has had little results from past fundraisers, or just isn’t sure a fundraiser would work well for you, we are sure that A Meaningful Fundraiser is still worth a try for you. You really have nothing to lose…and a lot to gain.

Nothing-to-Lose Plan

Allow us to put your group on our list of participants so that when shoppers come to our website to buy meaningful books and music, they can choose your organization’s name from the list at the shopping checkout. Every time a shopper selects your group's name, 35% of sales goes straight to you and your group! There is nothing to do besides collect money for your group....and perhaps spread the word about our online catalog!

Super Simple Plan

Send out an email to all of your group members (or talk to them at your next meeting) telling them that you will be participating in A Meaningful Fundraiser. Give them a copy of one of our suggested email templates and have them send the template to everyone in their email Contact List. This will direct all of their friends and family to our online catalog where they can view the items available and order what they want using your group's name. Your group gets money for the orders and all that your members had to do was push “Send” on an email.

Market/Conference Exhibitor Plan

Often there are local craft markets or trade conferences in your area that have shoppers/attendees who would be interested in products from our catalog. These may be great opportunities for your group to both promote your cause and fundraise at the same time. If we also feel that the conference has a high potential we can make arrangements to ship you some sample books/products in advance for you to display. Additionally, we can make available a special area of our site for you to enter non-credit card orders (checks or cash) in order to simplify sales tracking. We have had several successes in the past and can share our experience with you to help you get the most of your time.

Book Fair Event Plan

Hold a book fair where people can come and view our special print catalogs, read sample books (you may want to buy sample books in advance for this one), and place their orders. You can have a story time corner for children where they can sit and listen to someone reading our books. You could do a variety of other accompanying activities to attract families and make the event fun. For this one you would definitely want to get the word out and let everyone know about your event. You could send notice out to your local papers, post flyers, and send out email announcements.
