Editor's Note - Unique Fundraisers
Let me be the first to wish you a Happy New Year. I certainly
appreciate you and all of those that are a part of the Profit
Quests Fundraising News family.
I have been focusing on slightly unusual fundraising products
and programs that are easy and unique. Especially those which
have little or no start up costs.
They are not the end-all of fundraisers, but rather they
are being offered as a supplement to your normal fundraising.
Think about these funding sources working quietly in the
background bringing in funds each month, even in the slow
months. Multiple income streams is what every nonprofit
group needs to focus on.
Two of these were created specifically for the Profit Quests
Family. And yes, I think of my subscribers and the website
users as part of our family. That's you!
First, I'm talking about AllBizSupplies.com. I have a more
complete discussion of this in our article below. This is a
painless way to raise funds successfully.
The other is BestTalkPlan.com. This Affiliate Program has
no sign up costs and brings in funds each and every month.
Get both of these and start raising additional funds now.

Free Fundraising Idea - Christmas Tree Pick-up
When Christmas is through, what do you do with the old
Christmas tree? You might be required to recycle it at
your city landfill.
Disposing of an old Christmas tree becomes a big hassle
for most people. Sometimes they are required to haul it
themselves to a recycling area miles away.
They also remember the mess of those dry needles that fall
into their car backend or truck. What a mess.
Why not help your neighbors and your organization take care
of old trees. You can expect to make a profit of $5 to $15
per tree. With a few trucks that you've secured and some
helpers, you can expect to stuff your stockings this winter
with cold hard cash.
Get all of the details for your own profitable
Old Christmas Tree Pickup fundraiser.

contributors.
It's jam-packed with features that will help you track all of
your donations and will allow you to even take credit card

Product Focus – AllBizSupplies.com
I've been focusing on a fantastic fundraising concept that
will bring in monthly income for your nonprofit organization,
group or ministry. It's called AllBizSupplies.com.
First I want you to do your nonprofit group a favor and sign
up as a customer. You're going to save big on your own
personal office supplies. You'll also get free next day
delivery on orders over $40 if in by 1:30 pm.
You have access to over 30,000 items from pens to furniture.
You'll also get 10% to 40% off the prices of the 0ffice
supply superstores. This is good stewardship of the money
donated to your organization.
Once you're a customer and see the excellent customer service
for yourself, you'll then want to tell your board members and
supporters. They'll want to save big on their office supplies
and would be happy that a portion of their purchase goes back
to your group.
We've slashed the costs on these office supplies to help you
save big first of all, and with what we've got left we're
giving you a fantastic 3% back from all those that were
referred by your group and even on your own purchases to
lower your already low costs further.
Remember, this 3% is on every sale, each month for as long as
you and your supporters associate with us. There is no cut
off dates, minimum purchases, limits or anything to hold you
back. This could add up over a period of months or years.

Book Review – Creating Congregations of Generous
People (Money, Faith, and Lifestyle Series)
If you are a part of a ministry or churchcongregation, this book will really inspire you and cause
you to look at giving in a different light.
Michael Durall has put his finger on areas that need to be
addressed in fundraisers for congregations of all sizes. The
price is good too -- just $13.95.
The big concept that I took from this book was its ability in
creating a generous spirit in each member. This in turn
brings forth an avalance of giving to even the hardest areas
like providing for a church stewardship program, ordinary
budgetary programs and annual giving.
There are lots of tips and step-by-step type techniques that
will get the old cranium thinking up more ideas than you can
fill an offering plate with. It will change your way of
giving perhaps, so be prepared.
I give this a 4.5 on a scale of 5. Pretty good. Try out
Creating Congregations of Generous People now.
