The bible clearly calls for Christians to be stewards and protectors of the earth. God provided us many resources to watch over, manage, and use, but we must also recognize that everything around us is from Him and that we are to take great care in protecting His creation. With that in mind, many churches have looked into earth friendly church fundraiser ideas.
Sometimes called “steward of the earth” fund raisers, these programs offer churches and religious organizations who feel convicted to protect God’s creations a line of products that are beneficial to the earth.
There are many different kinds for church fundraiser ideas that are good for the planet. Choosing the right one for your church will depend on how big your church is, how much money you need to raise, the demographics of your group members, and (this will be explained later) what time of year it is.
Some of the more popular earth friendly church fundraisers include plant fundraisers, reusable item fundraisers, and organic item fundraisers.
Organic items make for great church fundraiser ideas because there are so many options including some that you may not have thought of before. The most popular organic item church fundraising program is an organic coffee fundraiser. Besides keeping harmful chemicals out of the planet, many organic coffees sold for fundraisers are also certified fair trade meaning purchasing them is good for the people who grow the coffee. We feature a delicious line of fair trade organic coffees in our flagship Go Green fundraiser. Other organic fundraisers include organic soy wax candle fundraisers, and organic food fundraisers.
Plant fundraising is one of the greenest and most earth friendly ways for a church to raise money. Flower bulb fundraisers are incredibly popular and have specific product lines depending on the time of year. Groups can also opt for a vegetable garden fundraiser or a tree fundraiser.
