Easy and Fun Nonprofit Fundraising

 

Does every nonprofit fundraiser idea you learn about seem complicated, silly, or overused? Well, here is a nonprofit fundraising program that is none of the above, and it's fun, easy, and profitable. All you have to do is sell your supporters something they already buy: scented candles.

Nonprofit Fundraiser 

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.

I found this lens to be very informative and as a possibility to introduce to a nonprofit animal sanctuary in New Mexico in need of raising money to cover its operative expenses.

About SheriOrloff

Having a business involving candles is combining my passion with my vocation, as I have liked candles as long as I can remember. Another thing that I enjoy is helping others, whether it's volunteering or sharing information with a friend or someone I just met. I consider myself fortunate to be able to do both. For those who desire to build a low-cost, simple and fun home-based business and who partner with me, it's my pleasure to support their efforts every step of the way. It's my joy to help my team members reach their goals, whatever they may be.

Some of my other interests include learning new Internet technologies, database management, reading, using Earth's resources wisely, and cooking with stevia. I'm always looking for new vegetarian recipes, especially desserts made with stevia; feel free to share with me.
