From The Editor

Hi [[name]].

Well, I've been overwhelmed with new fundraising information, products, ideas, and fundraising books. Some of which I am bringing before you here.

Stay tuned during the next few weeks and months as I bring you some of these latest findings that will be sure to increase your funding knowledge base.

I also want to point out that if you belong to a medium sized nonprofit organizations rather than a smaller nonprofit that is more oriented toward raising money through product sales, don't write off some of the products suggested as unworkable for you.

For instance, The Pennies To Dollars Fundraising system highlighted below can easily be used with a walk-a-thon to generate even more new funds and new donors. Keep it in mind.

Happy Fundraising.
Jesse Carter, Editor


Fundraising Product

Pennies To Dollars - A Scratch Above The Rest

Now anyone can scratch that fundrasing itch with Pennies To Dollars fundraising program. I have selected the Pennies To Dollars Fundraising System as our Product Of The Month, because of the tremendous fundraising potential for your group.

I will warn you upfront that this program is not one of our popular Free Fundraising Products. By that I mean, it will cost a little bit to get started. However, the funds that can be generated will far outweigh the initial cost to get started.

Each Pennies To Dollars standard scratch card costs only $15.00. A fundraiser asks people to support their cause by scratching one or two of the spots on his or her card.

They simply donate the amount that is exposed. Most supporters will round up their donation to the next dollar; thus, generating even more profits.

A standard card totally scratched off will generate $105.00 or $90.00 net profit. How many candy bars will it take to raise this kind of profit per person?

Imagine a small group of 25 needing to earn $2,000 quickly. This is the one for you. Not only do you not have any product to redistribute, but you get your money immediately.

Now, here's a deal for you. I will give you 15% more scratch cards if you order in the next 30 days. This will give you enough funds raised to pay for your entire program like it was totally free.

Fundraising Tip

Paying Those Taxes

Here's a great tip for you. Did you know that some states still require you to pay taxes that are generated by your fundraiser?

Many of us don't want to think about this annoying variable in our fundraising campaign, but you should at least be aware of where to get help on the matter.

Each state has different requirements for nonprofit organizations. Find out what your state requires on taxes for nonprofit fundraisers by clicking here.

Fundraising Idea

Raising Funds By Dining With Celebrities

Wouldn't it be exciting to be able to sit down over lunch or supper with someone you've always admired...a celebrity perhaps, or a prominent figure in your community?

People would pay your organization in order to be provided access to a celebrity figure for just an hour or two.

The celebrity could be a sports star, singer, politician, entertainer, journalist, business leader or even a key coummunity figure.

One charity reported that they conducted a completely successful celebrity fundraising auction. With 170 celebrities auctioned off, they raised $157, 376.70.

Some of the celebrities auctioned pulled in from $400 to over $11,000 each. Faith Hill pulled in the highest auction at $14,100.00.

Although this nonprofit conducted their fundraiser on a national basis, there's nothing that says you can't do it nationally too. It could certainly be conducted on a local or regional basis by your group. Get going...going...gone with this great fundraiser.

Start a celebrity dinner auction here.
