Church Fundraising Activities

Church fundraisers

Church fundraising activities are varied. They can fund many things such as missionary expeditions, camps, youth activities, children?s religious education, church-type loans and bills, church building repairs and so on. However, there are no limits to the type of activities available.

One of the first church fundraising activities is the letter, starting with requests for help with donations from a church?s congregation. This more professional approach is about saying the congregation?s help is really needed but does not come across like regular fundraising letters found in regular life with the typical and well-recognized sales pitch.

The most important church fundraising activities help the people that are getting involved to feel as if they are actively making a difference through giving. Thus hands-on type involvement is usually the best type of church fundraising activity. These can include raffle tickets, church auctions, dinners, products for children, pizza sales, rummage sales, candy sales, bake sales, holiday gift sales, knitted item sales, crafts sales, and flower sales. However, there are many more sales ideas, each of which plays an important part in bringing people together for a common cause.

No matter what the idea for church fundraising activities, there are many ideas to choose from. In fact, they are highly profitable because the participating people are getting directly involved in something they not only believe in but helping to make a marked difference through their generosity. Ultimately, adults and children alike can play an important and active role in spreading their religious beliefs through charitable works.

Wrestling scratch card

Wrestling fundraising is quite often reflective of its sport and more of an individual project. But scratch card fundraising is a terrific way for either teams or individual wrestlers to meet their financial needs.  Each scratch card raises $100 and can be imprinted with up to three lines of custom text to customize your card.

What You Should Know

Here is an example of the coupon page you give to the people as a “Thank You” for participating. You can create a custom coupon handout with your town’s unique businesses.

As you can see from the profit chart below the lowest profit percentage you will make from using scratch cards for fundraisers is 70%. There are, however, price breaks that can increase your profit percentage. The more cards you purchase the higher your profit potential for each card. The profits and profit percentages shown are based on successfully having all 50 dots scratched off on your scratch card.

Coffee backpacks fundraiser

Be your own barista with a coffee backpack fundraiser. Instead of pre selling coffee, order backpacks filled with 52 packets of assorted flavored coffee.

You can purchase as little as one case, containing 9 backpacks.
