I have ALWAYS loved Fundraisers! Maybe that is why I loved grant writing so much.  Now, it is one of the favorite parts of my business!

I’ve been doing fundraisers since I started with Thirty One almost 6 years ago.  I had lots of practice getting the glitches out so I can make it fun for you and your organization.  There are lots of ways to do fundraisers to help you, your organization or cause raise the money they need this year.  What better time then during the holiday season when everyone is shopping anyway, right?14316741_10207561074928131_8710155584920521319_n

What if you aren’t a group or bold enough to ask online for help from family and friends?  What if you are the average family struggling to pay for unexpected expenses?  Or maybe your child (children) want to play on a sports team but you don’t have the money for uniforms or equipment?  What if you have overwhelming medical bills and an extra $100 or $200 would help eliminate the stress?  What if you are expecting a new addition to the family BUT the cost of new furniture, diapers (have you seen how expensive they are?) and formula is already stressing you out?

MY TOP 7 ways to fund raise!

Pick one or combine a few of them.  Whatever works for YOU!  Combining a few ensures success when it comes to hosting a fundraiser!

#1 Online Party

Easy Peezy!  We list your fundraiser on my website and then everyone can follow the link to order. 25% of all orders are donated to your organization.

#2 Home Show/ Open House

You host a home show and invite all your friends and family to see the product and order there!

#3 Facebook Event

Is everyone you know on Facebook?  This is a GREAT way to highlight product, HOW they could enjoy Thirty-One while donating to a great cause. I set it up and you invite your friends. Everything is done online.

#4 Bingo Night

OMG!  This is my favorite one!  Everyone LOVES to play Bingo.  They win prizes, and order to donate to a great cause!

#5 Fashion Show

We pick a collection of products or bundles.  Have organization members model them while we share tips for alternate uses.  Everyone has that hidden desire to be an “actress”.  We can have lots of fun while getting everyone involved.

#6 A Favorites Collection

We put together a collection of 5 to 6 products. I make a flier, and your group sells just those products.

#7 Registration Party

Everyone shows up on team registration night.  This is a great opportunity to get ALL the parents even those you don’t see all of the time. I would be happy to set up a table of products and collect orders.  We can also hand out packets so others can help collect orders.

Easier and different then the traditional candy bar or wrapping paper fundraiser. Everyone LOVES Thirty One.  The products are fun, functional, fashionable and affordable.  There is something in everyone’s price range.

Putting FUN in Fundraising

Doesn’t that sound like fun? NOT!  The truth is fundraising has become more vital than ever.  Not only are sports teams, schools, churches, and organizations working hard to raise needed capital BUT also individuals are seeking help through GoFundMe.

What if you aren’t a group or bold enough to ask online for help from family and friends?  What if you are the average family struggling to pay for unexpected expenses?  Or maybe your child (children) want to play on a sports team but you don’t have the money for uniforms or equipment?  What if you have overwhelming medical bills and an extra $100 or $200 would help eliminate the stress?  What if you are expecting a new addition to the family BUT the cost of new furniture, diapers (have you seen how expensive they are?) and formula is already stressing you out?

I have a solution to all of these situations.  No, you don’t have to beg for money from friends or family.  No, you don’t have to tell everyone your sad story.

What about a Girl’s Night Out either in your home or at a local restaurant?  What about a Fashion Show?  What about a BINGO night or BUNCO?  Sounds like a lot of work, right?  I am here to take care of the details, all you have to do is invite the people.

How does it work?  You select the type of Thirty One event – home party, On the Go Party, fashion show, BINGO, BUNCO, Baby Shower, Housewarming party, pool party, online party, catalog or Facebook party.  I will set up the details and you invite your friends and family to shop.  No one needs to know that we are fundraising for you unless you want to tell them.  You just share the Thirty One Gifts catalog full of awesome products.  I mean who can resist the opportunity to shop and help a good cause.
