Top Christmas Fundraisers

As the holiday season draws near, smart groups will take advantage of the many opportunities available to raise money and raise holiday cheer at the same time. Below are a few of our top picks for holiday season fundraising and how to make them profitable this year.

Christmas Wreath Fundraising

Taking orders for beautiful, real, evergreen wreaths is easy and a great way to get your family, friends and neighbors in the holiday spirit. Great decoration for the door, these can be sold to businesses for their offices or to individuals for their home holiday décor.

Christmas Tree Fundraiser

There are many companies that you can work with to organize a Christmas tree fundraiser. Make sure you let people in your neighborhood know early that your group will be doing a Christmas tree fundraiser so they make sure they order their tree from you so your group can make money from something they already planned on buying!

Wrapping Paper Fundraiser

Most people need wrapping paper throughout the year, and especially around the holidays. Whether celebrating Hanukkah, Christmas or something else, many people need wrapping for holiday gift exchanges. Coming to them early in the season before they've bought their paper is important. One successful group swears by sending out emails and 'save the paper buying date' notes in their neighborhood in advance so neighbors and friends are reminded to buy wrapping paper from the group member. Also, make sure you time your fundraiser so that people will get their wrapping paper with ample time to wrap gifts for the holidays.

Don't miss great opportunities to earn money for your group with these holiday fundraising tips; it's easy!
