It can be tough to find fund raising ideas that feature products that are even remotely religious. I mean, you can’t really look at a candy bar or a tub of cookie dough and come away with anything uplifting. But God does call us all to be stewards over His gifts to us and that most certainly includes the planet and all of the plants and animals that live here. And that makes earth friendly Christian and church fundraising ideas a great choice for your Christian school.

The most popular choice among our eco friendly fundraising ideas for Christian schools is the flower bulb fundraiser. It features nearly 30 different bulbs and seeds for some stunning flower bulbs that are popular around the country. It is 100% free to start – we send you the full color brochures and cash collection envelopes absolutely free of charge. Your Christian school earns a guaranteed 50% profit. We will even replace any bulbs that don’t grow.

This is a very eco friendly fundraising idea and fits in perfectly with our calling to care for our planet. And because it is good for the planet, and you can earn a terrific profit margin, it is a great fundraising idea for Christian schools. If you would like to learn more about it, or to get started on one of our Christian school fundraising programs for this school year, just call us at 877-448-9746.

One of the best and most fun Christian school fund raisers is a program called Smencils. Smencils are pencils that, instead of wood, are made from recycled news papers. They are spruced up with smells from all kinds of different things like bubble gum and licorice. The program works a lot like the candy fundraising programs you may have done the past in that you buy the products in advance and have them on hand to pass out during the sale.

Kids really like Smencils because they are just a fun product and what student at a Christian school doesn’t need a bunch of pencils? A bunch of schools have even set up a store in the school where they can sell the Smencils and other school items to raise money. Another reason for the popularity of this Christian student fundraising idea is the guaranteed 50% profit you will earn on your sale.

Another fun fundraising idea for Christian school students to participate in is a flower bulb fundraiser. In this type of program, the students will sell flower bulbs to friends and family from a catalogue. Since everyone loves flowers this is a really easy program to get the students and their parents involved with. And, because selling flowers is so easy, it takes a lot of the pressure to sell off of the students which keeps them having fun. This is also one of our free fundraisers meaning you don’t have to pay anything to get started. Shipping is even free as long as you meet the low minimum order level.

Mission trips can be big or small, near or far. They can include digging wells for water in Africa or repainting an elderly persons house right around the corner. The point is that we serve others and show the love of Christ in our own lives and actions.

When a group decides to go on a mission trip, often one of the first things they talk about is how they are going to pay for the trip. Especially for mission trips that include overseas travel, the cost of a mission trip can be astronomical.  To help cover their costs, many groups will turn to mission trip fundraising ideas.  So the question becomes “how can I raise money for my mission trip?”

When you pick your mission groups fundraiser, you will want to find some fundraising options that are fun, profitable, and that project the right message about your group. A really fun option that many church groups have been choosing lately is our Go Green Fundraiser. You get to sell earth friendly products which fulfills our God given role as stewards of the earth and at the same time you get to raise money to help pay for your mission trip.

There are many other reasons that you may want to do Christian fundraisers such as raising money for a building fund or to support activities in the church youth department. Whatever the reason, we are happy to help with all of your church fundraisers.

The most popular program that I would suggest for a church youth group fundraising idea is our Go Green products fundraiser. It has the broadest range of products and price points with things like organic lip balms, all natural trail mixes, fair trade coffees, and flower bulbs and prices from $3.00 to $23.00 meaning everyone you approach should be able to find something that they want in a price range they can afford.

Another extremely popular program that many of our church youth group customers doing mission trip fundraisers choose is the flower bulb fundraiser. We offer groups who do this program an exciting 50% profit on every item sold. That kind of profit adds up quickly and many mission trips have been paid for with flower fundraising dollars.

If your church runs a private Christian school, there is a very, very successful private school fundraiser called a Smencils pencil fundraiser. This is another program that offers your group 50% profit. A lot of schools and teachers will buy a case of Smencils and put them on their desk to sell during class as a quick, easy, and unobtrusive way to raise some money.

All of these programs have proven to be great Christian fundraisers for church youth groups of all kinds.

When non religious groups raise money, they often need to have meetings and pep rallies to keep everyone excited and focused on selling. Not so with fundraising ideas for Christians. Whether the program is to raise money for a mission trip, to stock a local food pantry, or to add on to the church, you know why you are raising money and you know that the Lord is with you in your efforts.

So, what are some good fundraising ideas for Christians that you can use? Our most popular Christian fundraising ideas have been, and we expect will continue to be, our Flower Bulb fundraiser and the Coffee and Tea fundraiser. Both programs are very similar when it comes to profits and minimums and the other fundraising basics like that. Both of these fund raisers have a low minimum order of just 150 total items in order to receive free shipping. The profit percentages are 50% for the flower bulbs and 40% for the coffee and tea, guaranteed. Not only that, but both of these are free fundraisers meaning there is no charge and no risk to get started.

As far as the products themselves, they are pretty self explanatory. You use brochures to sell flower bulbs or coffee and tea. The flower bulb fundraiser has more than 25 different bulb varieties to choose from while the coffee and tea program has 16 packages available.

Other excellent fundraising ideas for Christians include the Earth Candles and if you are raising money for a Christian school you will definitely want to check out our incredibly popular Smencils program.

The first and probably most important tip that we can give you when you are planning your church fundraisers is to pick the program that is right for your group. While you may be thinking “well, we will just do the same fundraisers we did last year”, you may want to consider different options. There are some terrific new fundraising ideas for Christians available and if you have been doing the same program for years your customers will probably appreciate the chance to buy something new and different.

One great way to decide if you want to do a new Christian fundraiser is to ask the church members and your potential customers what kinds of products they would be interested in buying and selling. If they are happy with your current program then stick with it. But if you present them with a couple of new ideas and they respond well to them, you will know it’s time for a change.

Another tip to improve the sales of a Christian fund raiser is to have the church body pray for your success. The power of prayer is easy to see when it is applied to something like raising money for a special church project.

We also suggest that you use our free fundraising thermometer. You can update it with your goals and with your progress and then put it up on the church website so members can see how the fundraiser is going.

These are just three of the many church fundraising ideas and tips that we offer. Feel free to browse around to learn more about other fundraisers for Christians. And remember, in the end, the best tip we can give you is to pray for success as you go out to raise money.

If you have been going to church for very long, you have probably participated in or at least seen a church fund raiser going on. And the chances are very good that those fundraisers were something along the lines of a bake sale, a flower bulb fundraiser, or something similar. These kinds of ideas for church fundraising are extremely popular because they work very well.

The best ideas for church fundraising programs tend to be the ones that can be done by smaller groups and that feature either food products or something crafty because these kinds of ideas will have the most appeal for the people who are most likely to buy from you. For that reason, we have a number of eco friendly fundraisers that are work extremely well for church groups trying to raise some extra money.

The most popular of our green ideas for church fundraising is going to be the flower bulb fundraiser. It features a great line of 26 beautiful flower bulbs and is absolutely free to start. Plus, your church group keeps 50% profit guaranteed.

Other great choices you may want to consider include the coffee and tea fundraiser which is also free to start, has a flat 40% profit margin, and features coffee that is roasted only after your order has been placed. You should also take a look at our earth candles fundraiser, another free to start church fundraising idea. It features eco-friendly and high quality soy wax candles and you earn 50% profit.

As with any church fundraisers that you might do, a mission trip fundraising letter needs to include a detailed description of what kind of work you will be doing. The better you can describe what you will be doing and exactly how the money you are raising will help you and how it will be put to work is the most basic thing to do when writing these letters. If you have pictures of work your mission trip team has done in the past that you can include, or at least stories about the impact you have had in the past, that can go a long way as well.

As we helped more and more mission trip teams though we realized that there had to be a better way for them to raise the money they needed than selling products or sending out fundraising letters and with that in mind we created the Online Donation Fundraiser. This system allows you to approach people in a number of ways that are at least as personal as the mission trip fundraising letters and that offer much better results.

The most personal contact method this program offers is the donation request card. It is about the size of a business card and has instructions for people for how to find your donation page. You can use these cards to go door to door contacting people about helping fund your mission trip but instead of the awkwardness of asking for money right away, this gives people a chance to really think about helping you. Plus, since it is a credit card based system, people who do not have cash can still make a donation.

Another way to use this system that more closely resembles the old mission trip fundraising letters is our email system. The system allows you to schedule and send customizable emails to your contacts explaining your fundraiser and asking for donations. It can even be set up to remind the people who haven’t donated yet that you still haven’t met your goal. The system will also send thank you notes out to everyone who does donate.

Less work and better results – what could be better for your mission trip fundraiser than that?

One of the problems that mission teams always ran into with their church fundraisers was that the amount of money they needed to raise was enormous while there typically weren’t alot of participants and their resources were small. That meant that for the most part, the ideas used for fundraising for mission trips couldn’t be a typical brochure based program or even a car wash, there just wouldn’t be enough participants for them to be effective.

But Go Green Fundraising, with our innovative and eco friendly fund raisers, has introduced a revolutionary program that makes mission trip fundraising a snap. The revolutionary Online Donation Fundraiser is allowing more mission trips to do more good and spread the Word farther than ever before by helping mission trip teams raise record amounts of money.

With the mission trip fundraisers you may have used in the past, you were pretty much limited to your local contacts for raising money whether you were selling a product or just asking for donations and you were also limited in the amount of money you could raise because you likely couldn’t accept credit cards.

With our system though, fundraising for mission trips has never been easier. You can use our donation request cards for a pressure free request to local donors and you can also utilize the very handy email notification tool to send customizable and automated requests to your email contacts. It really is the easiest fundraiser for mission trips ever!

Many church choir members say that being a part of the choir is an incredibly rewarding experience but they also note that performing well takes quite a bit of work. The church choir doesn’t just don their robes, walk on stage, and belt out beautiful music to the Lord; they spend hours and hours practicing every week.

Practice time and robes are not cheap though, not to mention travel costs associated with performing away from the church home. To cover their costs, many choirs turn to church fundraisers.

Fundraising for a church choir can, and should be, really fun. When you are looking for church choir fundraising ideas, you should try and find a fundraiser that has a good profit margin for the choir and that has products that your choir members would enjoy selling.

One of the very best fundraisers for a church choir is our coffee and tea fundraiser. The typical church choir member is an adult who has a full time job outside of the church. That means there are three fantastic opportunities to raise money – in the church, at their place of work, and in their communities. And with delicious and easy to sell products like our fresh roasted coffees and tea blends, you will have no problem raising all of the money you need for the choir.

So if you need help fundraising for a church choir please feel free to call us at 877-448-9746.  One of our fund raiser experts will be happy to help you.
