Environmentally Friendly Fundraising

Global warming is on everybody's mind these days. If it’s not the rising temperatures it’s the usage of natural resources or pollution of the environment. Maybe these dark clouds do hold a silver lining. Maybe all these issues will generate new thinking. With this issue in mind how can your school, church group, or local association run a successful and environmentally sound fundraising campaign?




Choose a Green Fundraising Campaign.




It is possible to be green while raising green. There are other alternatives to choosing a chocolate campaign. With the United States throwing out close to 100 billion plastic bags a year, and only 1 percent of those being recycled may we suggest a reusable bag?




For 12.50 for a cotton reusable bag you’re helping good causes three ways. You’re contributing a charitable act for the organization running the campaign. Secondly your of course using fewer plastic bags, reducing a share of the 500 billion used worldwide a year. Thirdly plastic bags kill over 100,000 birds, whales, seals and turtles every year, so you’re helping animals. Lastly since plastic bags are so light weight they’re constantly being blown from landfill sites and litter the land, and contribute 90% of floating litter in the oceans. Money well spent for only $12.50.




Support a Greener World, Plant a Flower




Another excellent idea for running an environmentally friendly fundraising campaign is to buy flowers.




Flowers are a very easy fundraising campaign to run. All your volunteers have to do is talk to friends and neighbours about the flowers, take the order. The flower seeds are shipped from the fundraising company so there’s no stock to tend to. The Fundraising companies’ offer up to 19 different flower varieties and the bulbs are all guaranteed to bud!




Light Up Your Faith




There are candles available in keepsake tin, glass and wickless candles and also a candle warmer. These candles from the Walk With Jesus inspirational collection come in different fragrances. All the candles come inscribed with candle verses for meditative thought. The candles themselves are designed for a clean and robust burn. The Walk With Jesus candles are a fantastic environmentally friendly fundraising idea for church groups.




Plenty of Great Ideas for Your Campaign




With the funding shortage for church groups and local organizations fundraising will play an ever more important role in the future. With responsible and unique fundraising your campaign can present donors with options they haven’t seen before, generate money for your needs and help out the environment.
