Despite what you may have heard, easy fundraising ideas do exist and the reality is that your group can still earn great profits even with the easiest fundraising ideas.
What most people mean when they refer to hard vs. easy fundraising ideas is the amount of effort it takes to sell the products and then how difficult or simple it is to place, receive, and distribute their order. The trick then to having the easiest fundraiser ideas possible is to find a great line of products that your organization members are excited to sell and that people in your community, your potential customers, are excited to buy.
And once you have found some fundraisers like that, you will definitely want to consider the profit margin for your group because what good is the greatest fund raising product in the world if you earn 1% profit?
Go Green Fundraising has two programs that we recommend for groups looking for easy fundraising ideas. Both have a flat 50% profit and both are very eco friendly..
The first program is our flower fundraising idea. This is a brochure based fundraiser where you sell flower bulbs and fruit and vegetable seeds. Because bulbs and seeds are incredibly popular in every community this is a very easy line of items to sell. And, because this fundraiser is what is known as a pre sell program, it is free to start and you have no risk, you only pay for the items you have already sold once the fundraiser is over.
The other easy fundraising idea that we suggest is our Smencils fundraiser. Smencils are scented pencils that are made from recycled newspapers and biodegradable materials. They are so much fun and so easy to sell that it is almost a no brainer to start this program. Smencils are a direct sell fundraiser which means you buy the Smencils before your sale and then sell them for only $1 each.
They are packed in cases of 10 buckets of 50 Smencils meaning you get 500 Smencils per order. The easiest way to sell Smencils is to give a bucket to each of your participants and have them sell them until they are gone.
