Official Church Fundraising Activities

 

The church has 3-4 scheduled fundraisers a year in which ALL Teams participate.

 

                1. Pizza / Cookie Dough Sale (January)

                2. Night of PEACE Concert

                3. Yard Sale (June)

                4. Concert

 

These fundraisers are the "official" fundraisers for the missions program and will be publicized using every available resource of the church (announcements, bulletin inserts, etc.). 

 

 

TEAM FUNDRAISERS
 

Team are allowed and encouraged to do fundraisers, but these events should be held off-site at non-church times.

 

                    IDEAS for fundraisers

• a-thons (walking, bowling, rocking)

• car washes

• concerts

• events

• recycling cans

• dinners / dinner theaters

• cell phone collections

• sales

Keep these guidelines in mind when planning:

1. Beware of labor intense activities with little return. Your time should be spent preparing for the field mentally, physically, and spiritually -- not focused on fundraising.

 

            a. Look for fundraisers with high profit to time margins

            b. Fundraisers are the least effective way of raising funds;

                Support Letters are, by far, the highest return on investment

2. Promotion of all fundraisers is limited to:

a. a listing in the "This Week @ New Life" section of the 

    bulletin
b. Screen announcements (maximum of four weeks prior)
c. Fliers & Team updates may be placed in the PEACE Plan

    displays across from the church office and be included in

    the Missions Newsletter on the Missions Table in the lobby.
