Need to raise funds for your nonprofit - get creative
A client recently asked for fundraising suggestions she and her nonprofit organization could use. During my research, I discovered an article with some really creative fundraising ideas by Mary Jane Marcasiano. According to Ms. Marcasiano, Founder of the Made With Love Project (an incredible organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for women and children in need), "A great way to raise awareness and funds for your nonprofit is to sell products on your website." And while she admits that making printed T-shirts, coffee mugs or tote bags can be money makers, her recommendation? "Think handmade and personal!"
...To really attract attention to your cause and to drive traffic to your website, it’s a bonus to think handmade and personal.
Ms. Marcasiano has some really great ideas. She also recommends "contacting community groups and schools to see what kind of arts programs they have, and which of their products could work, as most people would love to sell their work and be a part of a larger project. You will have a unique product, be supporting others, and creating additional awareness for your cause in the community."
