If you are in a or on the board of organizations that survive on donations, fund raisers, loans or even grants you might want to check this out!  My store is 3 different programs set-up to help you with bringing in money to keep you running.  Seeing how not all organizations are the same and not every fund-raising method can be successful; I do my best to find ways to help and try to work around all the kinks that may have stopped organizations in the long run!  Let me explain the programs I have set-up.

1). The Raffle- We have loads of wonderful things in our store that when displayed at an annual function, will be easily raffled off.  If there is more you'd like to raffle off then an unique item from our store- we have that!  How about a trip to Orlando or Las Vegas?  There are others to choose from, with details to go along!  This type of fund raising is a classic and good for just about any organization.

2). Coupons Sale- Everyone wants more for less, and you could give your community just that!  Depending on your zip code, we have TONS of coupons for you to sell, that will please your community and be wanting them to come back to you.  This is a win/win situation for all involved~ your community will save literally hundred(s) of dollars on things they purchase, and you will get money for your organization.  This type of fund raising works for all organizations, but will excell for any organization that is open to the public or a large group of members to come to (churches/VFW-Eagles-Elks lodge-American Leg.-any veteran place/American Red Cross/etc). * with this style there are 3 simple rule that must be agreed to before starting it:

1. NO selling within a 1/4 mile of vendors (company giving the coupon) physical location.

2. NO selling on the internet (that even means mentioning the details-vendors and deals- of coupons in advertising on the internet)

3. You MUST have customers sign each certificate they buy so they are sure they're aware of terms and of the offers.

3). The Original- Selling fund raiser- Their are pages amoung pages and topics amoung topics for an organization to choose from that can zero in on their customers' interest.  Have a lot of people in your group that is dedicated to keeping your organization alive?  Then this is a great fund raising technique that allows EVERYONE to get involved and take pride that they helped their cause!  You can go door-to-door; set up a booth at a local festival or location(with permission, of course); put an ad in the paper; talk about it by word of mouth; put up fliers- whatever you can do to have people look at your wonderful products that your organization stands by to help them out!  This has a wide area it can work for (4-H, band/athletic boosters, youth groups, aid for the homeless groups, and plenty more).

With all of these ways to help your cause, it's easy to find what can work for your group without going all over the place.  After all- you probably spend a lot of your time helping your family and your organization: there's no time to go searching for help.  All of these ways of bringing in money PLUS to keep money in your organization, we have a yellow price list to get your products.  Sounds interesting- it doesn't hurt to ask questions.  Contact me via cafemom or e-mail at muzacmaster44@yahoo.com .  Do you wanna see a SMALL portion of what our store has?  Go to http://www.sbcsgifts.com/ .  With the coupons/traveling info, you'll need to get ahold of me and after asking questions you are still interested: send an address of your organization and I will send out a sample of coupon(s) and a copy (voided) of traveling info.  We hope that you will give us the pleasure of helping your organization!!
