Giving Green

Eco-Friendly Gifts from Greenraising

A press release was posted about this on another blog yesterday, but I thought it would fit here, as well.

Non-profit organizations frequently need to come up with funds to help their cause. It seems that one of my kids is asking me to order something all the time, to support school, church, softball, baseball, etc. This website offers non-profits the chance to raise money and help the environment at the same time.



How It Works

Register Your Non-Profit
Raising funds with Greenraising is simple and quick! Schools and non-profit agencies just fill out the online application form. If we aren't familiar with your organization, we may ask for proof of your non-profit status. Once you're approved, which will take from 1-7 days, the name of your organization will appear on Greenraising's list of approved partners.

Website Drives
Website drives are the quickest way to start earning money for your organization. Our website contains a wide variety of information and products that are solutions to many of today's environmental problems. Once the organization is registered, you can start earning immediately. Greenraising will send you 25% of all sales from people who name your group as the beneficiary. Contact us for ideas on how to encourage your constituents to visit the website and buy to benefit your organization. Typically, website sales are paid monthly, subject to certain minimums.

Catalog Drives

Catalog drives are the traditional fundraisers. Greenraising will provide you with catalogs and order forms, and together we will set a time period for your drive. During that time period, you will keep 40% of all money raised by your organization in person or on the website. Once we receive all of your orders, Greenraising will send you the in-person orders and you can distribute them among your local constituents.

Planning For Your Fundraiser
Year-round, Greenraising is happy to provide event ideas, educational opportunities, and lesson plans to all of our partners. Many schools will find it effective to combine the lesson plans with their catalog drives to inform families about the importance of making good environmental choices. Others may find inspiration in a kick-off event or Earth Day celebration. However you decide to approach it, Greenraising is here to help

If you are in charge of planning your non-profit's next fundraiser, I do hope you'll give this one a try!
