Fundraising Plan for Your Non Profit Organization
The Best Choice For Your Next Fundraiser!
Everyone loves Quality Gifts, Collectibles & Home Décor Products
Are you seeking a fundraising opportunity for your non profit organization that requires limited effort with fantastic rewards? Have you already tried fundraisers like: car washes, bake sales, raffled items, barbeque ticket sales, and more? Have you already sold cookies, candy, candles, gift wrapping, magazines, etc.?
Well, as a mom of three grown children now in college, I am here to tell you that I have participated in all of the above. My husband and I have been there and done all of that in an effort to help the school raise money for playground equipment or the Church youth to attend summer camp. Through the years we have done it all.
Do you know what most fundraisers have in common? Many of them involve so much TIME and ENERGY. If you are like me, time is a precious commodity these days. There is simply not enough of it to go around. That is why it is so important to plan ahead and organize your efforts. Make sure the fundraiser you choose is the right one for your group. I am eager to share with you my "Town Square" Fundraising Plan.
First, let me say that this fundraiser will work for you, but it is like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it. If you want to have a successful campaign, then you will need to show the "Town Square" catalog to your family and friends. You will need to take their order & payment and let them know when you will deliver their purchase. You will also need to thank them and explain how their involvement is helping your particular charitable cause. If you find it difficult to do these things, then this plan is not for you. Otherwise get ready for a profitable fundraising campaign.
Speaking of profit....now is a good time to explain that with every item you sell, you will keep 25% for your organization. You will keep 25% of your total sales. That could add up fast!
The "Town Square" quality products are some of the same items available in our store and I have seen already that these products are great selling items. People like what they see and there is such a variety. That is what makes this fundraising plan different from the others. Our "Town Square" catalog displays a wide variety of gifts, collectibles and decor items all priced at $21 and below...all very appealing, interesting, desirable, and affordable.
Most people like to contribute to a worthy cause and at the same time receive a great gift. Remember to thank each person who helped to make your charitable event the best one ever!

Important Message: Since children are often involved in fundraising efforts, I believe it is important to ensure their safety and protection throughout the process. I strongly suggest that children not be allowed to sell door-to-door unless they are accompanied by an adult. Your most successful campaigns will come from the support of your family and friends. Enjoy the team spirit of running a profitable campaign, but at the same time have a safe one too!
Personal Message: My 30 year career in Social Services was primarily in the area of child protective services so you know that child protection is my # 1 priority.
Here are some Fundraiser Safety Tips:
1. Get Organized & Plan Ahead....Make a list of family, friends, relatives, neighbors to contact. Avoid selling door to door. Make sure children are involved in the development of the plan.
2. When children are selling, parents must be involved with each activity.
3. Adults take catalogs to work.
4. Children take catalogs to school and Church.
5. Make telephone calls to seek support from family and friends.
6. When children are selling.....
- never sell alone...adult supervision is important
- never carry collected money without adult supervision
- never go out after dark
- never talk to strangers
7. Above all, use common sense. Have a Safe & Fun Experience!
