What Is A Fund Raising Card?

If you are involved in fund raising, you are likely familiar with the practice of many companies of selling products specifically to fund-raisers. For example, some companies will sell chocolates or gift wrap to your organization and you sell the products, earning profit for yourself and for the company. Well, a fund raising card works in a similar way. With a fund raising card program, you purchase a number of gift cards from a company and sell them. Customers who buy the fund raising card get to shop at the store the card is sponsored by while you get to pocket the profits for your group or organization. There are serval advantages to using a fund raising card program to raise money. A fund raising card is easy to sell because it allows customers to buy anything they want at a particular store rather than buy a specific product. A fund raising card is also very portable, so shipping costs to get the card to you are very small. Plus, volunteers can always carry at least one fund raising card with them at all times, increasing the chances of sales. A fund raising card is also immensely practical - many potential donors can use the card as a gift or to buy something they need anyway. Many stores now offer a fund raising card program as well, so that you can easily get cards that are most likely to be enjoyed by potential donors. Whether you gets cards for book stores, grocery stores, hardware stores, or speciality stores, you are likely to make a decent profit because there will be many donors happy to buy a card. Everyone likes to shop, after all. In a fund raising card program, you generally get a discount the more cards you buy. For example, in the Kohl's Cares for Kids(R) Fund raising Card Program, the company offers a discount of 5% for total gift card purchases over $1000 and 3% for purchases from $500 to $999. In most fund raising card programs, gift cards can be bought in a variety of denominations, making them easier to sell, even to people on a budget. In most cases, companies can ship your fund raising cards very quickly, which means you can sell them right away rather than having to wait for items to come in from a catalogue. This allows your group to make profits from a fund raising card almost right away.
