Coming Up with a Maximum Profit Church Fundraising Idea

When your church needs extra money and you want to start thinking of a church fundraising idea, clearly the thing you’re most concerned with is profit and how quickly you can reach the goal you have set for yourself. There are many paths to coming up with a church fundraising idea, and once you get the hang of what you’re doing, you can really maximize your profits and enjoy the benefits of church fundraising.

One slightly different idea is the Parade of Magazines fundraiser. Magazines are still very popular both in homes and in offices, so it’s pretty easy to find supporters with a church fundraising idea like this. The Parade of Magazines is a brochure-based, as well, so it’s a great church fundraiser if you’re concerned about down payments or budget requirements, as there’s no initial money required from you.

A card-based church fundraising idea, like our popular pizza fundraising cards, is a great idea if your main worry is maximum profit. Pizza cards sell at a very reasonable price of $10 each and depending on how many you think you can sell, up to 90% of the profits go directly to the church. And pizza cards are nice for your supporters, as well – there’s a two-for-one pizza deal, which everyone knows is a great bargain.

Scratch cards are another card-based church fundraising idea, but the concept behind them is slightly different. Your supporters will scratch of 2 of 50 covered dots on the card (just like a regular scratch card), and the amount they uncover is the amount they are suggested to donate, though many people will round their donation up. Your supporters will receive a sheet of coupons as a thank-you gesture. Again, the profits can be up to 90% for a church fundraising idea like this one, which makes them both fun and profitable.

coffee and tea fundraiser

The popularity of coffee is undeniable. What was once just a morning ritual has become an all-day affair. Take advantage of this demand with a coffee fundraiser. Give your supporters their caffeine fix and perk up your profits.  You will sell 10 oz bags of freshly ground coffee for $20 each. There are seven great flavors along with a gift coffee tin. Even though there is no off-season for drinking coffee, coffee and tea seem to sell more easily in fall and winter.

What You Should Know

Tea and Coffee fundraisers are very similar to candle fundraisers. You will make a specific profit percentage on every item you sell. For tea and coffee fundraisers you make 50% profit, or $10.00 each.

If you sell less than 150 bags, though, there is a $65 shipping fee. Orders of 150 or more bags of coffee or tea will qualify you for free shipping.

Patriotic scratch card

Patriotic Scratch Card fundraisers are perfect for scouts, veterans, or any other group with the USA as a focused theme. Scratch card fundraisers are high profit and low risk. It’s an easy and fast way to raise money while promoting American pride.

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 85%. 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:

Frozen Cookie Dough Fundraiser

Gourmet Cookie dough tub fundraiser has long been one of the bestselling fundraising products.
