Church Fundraising During a Recession - A Great New Idea!

0 comments Published Wednesday, February 25, 2009 by kokoloalwieci.

Just because the economy looks gloomy, doesn't mean your fundraising efforts have to be. What a great time to do a fun, positive and uplifting fundraiser that brings joy to people and brings profits to your church group.

Among your church group, gather people together to find who wants to sing for their supper, or really sing to support your group. Some members of the church will be comfortable singing solo, others will want to sing as a group.

For your singing telegram week, you'll want to get all of the soloists, duets, trios and groups who want to sing ready to make people in the community happy.

Before your singing telegram surprise week, generate a lot of interest by spreading the word about your fundraising event. You will want to have a booth set up and a phone number and email that people can use to arrange to send a special surprise singing telegram to a friend or loved one. You should have about 10 different types of songs or messages available. Some can be holiday songs if the holidays are near. Some could be love songs, songs of encouragement, friendship, anything goes.

Anyone who wants to sign up to have a singing telegram visitor go to their loved ones homes can sign up and donate to your group. You can set the price for each visit, or if you prefer, you can let people choose their own donation and have a suggested donation. People will pay in advance and at the time/date of their choosing, their loved one or friend will get a great surprise at their door. One, two or a group of singers will sing for recipient. It's up to the giver if they want to reveal their identity to the recipient.

Your church group will get to receive the joy of seeing the happy faces of the recipients of the singing telegrams in addition to the money raised for your church activities.
