Nonprofit fundraisers are a necessary evil no matter how small or large the nonprofit organization. Here is a simple, fun, and profitable nonprofit fundraising program that is suitable for organizations of all sizes. All your NPO has to do is sell something that 80% of all households use on a regular basis: scented candles.

Their widespread popularity makes scented candles a good fit for nonprofit fundraisers since they are a consumable item that users buy often. People are able to contribute to your nonprofit fundraiser simply by purchasing a candle from your group that they would have bought anyway elsewhere-a win-win proposition all around. And to help things along, these natural wax gourmet candles come in so many different fragrances, anyone can find their favorite.

As nonprofit fundraisers go, this is a no-brainer: circulate catalogs, take orders, and use the money collected to purchase candles. Depending upon what you charge, your group will earn $5 to $7 per candle sold. Perhaps the best feature of this nonprofit fundraiser is that it can be implemented over and over, and each time it becomes easier and more profitable because these candles are so good that you'll create an ever-increasing pool of loyal customers.
