Make Your Next Fundraiser a Green Fundraiser
Fundraising is a critical part of generating revenue for any organization. Schools, recreational clubs, and even non profit organizations all depend on fundraising revenue to help power their organization and fulfill their missions. For organizations that depend on raising revenue to stay in business successful fundraising is more than important, it’s downright necessary.
But traditional fundraising will only get your organization so far. With more and more competition for the fundraising dollar and less disposable income among your supporters fundraising often take on a negative tone in the eyes of your customers. Many parents and family members cringe when the open their child’s backpack to find another order form for overpriced stale chocolates or seasonal wrapping paper. After all you only need so many rolls of Christmas gift wrap, especially in the middle of May.
Essentially traditional fundraising has taken on the role of charity with little consumer return in recent years. Participants are fewer and usually dedicated members or supporters of your organization. Getting people outside of those highly invested in your cause to participate in your fundraiser has become downright impossible.
So how do you get the most out of your next fundraiser? Start by reaching out to a broader and more diverse audience. And then make them an offer they can’t refuse. Green fundraising ideas provide just that platform, one that will get people excited to participate and buy your products and excited about the multi-level support their purchase will contribute to.
Let’s face it, green is a hot buzzword right now. Today everyone from large scale multinational corporations to six year old preschoolers are concerned with conservation and reducing their environmental footprint. When it comes to going green people want to do their part. Environmental fundraising is fun and beneficial way to tap into the green movement and get people to support two good causes.
When you team up with a green fundraising company your organization will be provided with a catalog of products that are hand chosen specifically because they all help to contribute to environmental awareness and support leading green causes at the same time. And when someone purchases one or more of these products from your fundraiser part of the proceeds go to benefit the sponsoring organization including awareness groups like Animal Planet’s project R.O.A.R and the World Wildlife Fund. Not only does your school or group raise revenues for your cause but you also help another good cause in the process.
Plus the products found in these nature fundraising catalogs are products that people get excited about. The catalogs contain everything from t-shirts and hats, to jewelry and all natural organic products like soy candles and lotions. The bottom line is when you combine products people want with a good underlying cause people get excited. And that interest means more orders and more revenue for your organization.
Don’t let your next fundraiser be the same retread order form of cookies, candy, and useless trinkets. Instead choose a fundraiser that people will want to participate in. Choose an environmental fundraiser, help out another good cause, go green and generate your organization a lot of extra green in the process.
