There is a new movement in the fundraising world and that is the shift away from traditional fund raisers – things like frozen cookie dough and candy – to something called alternative fundraising.
Alternative Fundraisers
The idea behind these alternatives is that the old fundraisers don’t work so well any more for a number of reasons. The most important of those reasons is oversaturation. There are so many groups and clubs trying to raise money and most of them will pick either cookie dough or candy to sell. The problem with that, for them, is that every other group is selling the same thing and that can lead to customer burn out. Their customers will likely have already purchased some cookie dough from another group before they get to them or they may even still have some left over from last year.
Another reason that alternative fundraising ideas are gaining popularity over traditional fundraisers is a health aspect. Most of the old fashioned programs are not exactly what you would call healthy. Even the world famous Girl Scouts fundraiser, the cookie sale, has been hurting in recent years because of nutrition concerns.
People are also shifting away from the old fundraising programs because they want their fundraiser to be about more than just raising money. Many of the alternative fundraising ideas like those here at Go Green Fundraising provide educational opportunities as well as presenting a strong message about your group.
Yet another reason that people are abandoning the traditional programs is that they have been raising their prices. For example, the big chocolate companies have either abandoned the $1 chocolate sales altogether or have cut the groups profit to levels below 20%.
