StreamThatCause.com fundraising

Laurie,

My wife and I just saw the StreamThatCause.com website. That is really awesome! We are going to get with our school about using it. Our kids love the video camera and I think it will be great to let them make a video about recycling or going green or something rather than selling products. I bet this website is going to be the new way kids fundraise. It really gets the kids involved. I give it an A+++. http://www.StreamThatCause.com

New fundraiser

I came across this totally different way to raise money. Its a website http://www.streamthatcause.com. Its brand new and totally different. There are no products to sell and you pay one price to hold a web-a-thon. Its kind of like a walk-a-thon but you get people to pledge per view of a video that the children create. It can actually be a fun and engaging learning experience for everyone involved. I am a fan of theirs on facebook and they are offering it for free until the end of the year. Check it out! Its great because I can see fundraising moving in this direction.

Another good product fundraiser is the Ready Set Go Kits Fundraising Program. It's super easy, the purchases and ordering is done all online, so no need to worry about delivering orders. Plus, by selling the emergency kits it prepares your group's families for disasters, something everyone needs!

Gift Card Donation Program

Collect unused gift cards as donations and submit them to DogPawGiftCards.com under their "donate cards" section. You will receive 75% of the revenue off of the sale price.

My son's boy scout troop did very little and gathered quite a few in a short amount of time and made over $400 for a field trip they had planned. There are no costs involved just foot work!!

Good luck

Green Fundraising Success Story

Hi, All.

I’m an environmentally-conscious mom and I head the Community Activities Committee for my daughter’s school. To all parents and school administrators: if you’re looking for a fresh, new fundraising idea, think Green Fundraising! We recently held a Green Fundraising Event and it was a huge success!! We raised over $18K for the school. I found that people were so much more willing to participate because we were selling only green products.

There are a few online companies that can help you with your event and where you can buy the eco-products. We used Mother Earth Fundraising to purchase all of our green fundraising products and I’d highly recommend them. Great customer service and their eco-products are all 100% environmentally friendly materials. Plus, their reusable grocery bags were a big
hit. We sold a ton of them.

Here’s their website if you’re curious: http://www.motherearthfundraising.com/

If anyone else has held green fundraisers, I’d love to hear your stories too.

Anyway, hope this helps and stay GREEN!
