Are you looking for a great new fundraiser idea?

I have belonged to a numerous organizations growing up and still do.  Now what did/do they all have in common.  Fundraising.  Organizations, schools, clubs, churches and kids programs rely heavily on fundraising to succeed.  Think of the brownie troops selling their cookies or the boy scouts selling popcorn.  These are two groups that have had to sell from the beginning to help their organizations thrive.  Working in the schools I am well aware of the financial strain that is being placed on their budgets currently and the ability for the students to help pay for those end of the year trips that seem to pile up.

I have always wondered how you went about finding an organization that would help with fundraising and that was reputable.  As an adult my fundraisers usually consist of silent, live auctions, dinners and not door to door selling.  I know I did a ton of door to door fundraising growing up for key club, 4-H, fair boards, El Pomar, etc, but was never in charge of actually finding the program.  This is where Big Event Fundraising comes into play.

Big Event Fundraising offers a large selection of options which include: Seasonal Shoppers, Cookie Dough, Frozen Foods, Specialty Items, Card Fundraisers and Custom Mugs.  Of the services offered I would say that my favorite is the Card Fundraisers.  These are becoming more popular in recent years and I can see why.  The most recent ones that I have partaken in I have bought the discount card for $10-$20 depending on the organization and the discounts offered.  It’s a win win situation as I am helping an organization fund their program and I get discounts on the things I buy the most: shoes, clothes, groceries, photos of my little guys and of course the pizza and ice cream treats (used solely for bribery of course).  I am noticing that Big Event Fundraising offers a combo card which appears to come with two detachable keychains with the discounts on them.  This is genius because my husband and I tend to forget the card that needs to be shared.

So your organization is raising funds for a purpose but wouldn’t it be nice if they got something besides the money?  Or instead of the school going someplace for the end of the year trip they have a Super Splash Party that comes to your door?  With Big Event Fundraising every organization has the opportunity to receive any of the following:

   ~ Sportswear & Cash – This is the category where you can win sportswear for your organization or cash prizes based on sales. 

I like the idea for schools to have the party come to their door over the traveling sometimes.  I know that the traveling makes for a full day and I can remember being on the bus at 6:00 in the morning with my 2nd graders so that we could go to the zoo.  It doesn’t help that we live in a rural area and it was a three hour drive, but I myself would have preferred just letting them run wild on the playground with inflatables and water.

Check out Big Event Fundraising for you organizations next big fundraiser and offer your sellers something different!
