Fundraising

Examples of fund-raising methods may include, but not be limited to:

Aluminum Can Collections
This consists of the gathering of cans and sales to a recycling center;
Meet with a recycling center in your area and develop a partnership that will allow you to earn money for the fund by recycling cans.
Locate trailers at various places in your area, such as fire departments, schools, shopping centers, or golf courses for the public to drop off their cans.
Use community service workers. These people are excellent to use for sorting bags of cans, trailer maintenance, sign making, etc.. This is another good way of developing a partnership with your community.

Bi-Lo Boosters Program
The Fletcher Chapter of the FFBCF is now enrolled in the BI-LO Boosters program. This program is open to all non-profit organizations such as schools, churches and charities. You can enroll your non-profit organization in the program by calling 1-800-768-4438 for your Boosters number. Once you have a number, get as many people to enroll as you can. Then, each time they use their BI-LO BonusCard, the purchase amount will be automatically attributed to the charity selected. At the end of each quarter, BI-LO will make a donation based on a percentage of total purchases.

Golf Tournament
This is an excellent way to gain public recognition, but it takes a team effort. You will need to solicit sponsors for holes, personnel to drive refreshment carts, contact local trophy shops for plaques or trophies.
