From The Editor

Spring is coming. Down here in Louisiana, there are flowers popping out and trees budding. I hope all of our readers up north will have the same seasonal proof soon.

Start planning your car wash, Mother's Day Flower Sales, and sports fundraisers now. We have a few Spring fundraisers here at Profit Quests Ideas you can review.

Fundraising Article

The Product Fundraiser Campaign

Of the many fundraising tips that I discuss with to those I consult, few are more important than the planning phase or a fundraiser.

If you are going to raise funds with a product, you'll still need to do some planning beforehand.

I've set up a typical calendar to use during your next fundraiser. I encourage you to adopt this to your specific needs. Massage it and change it so that it reflects the identity of your group, but try and leave the essentials as they are shown.

Get started planning with The Product Fundraiser Campaign.

Fundraising Software & Applications

eTapestry Donor Management Software

Since we are talking about starting a nonprofit organization, I should mention another part of the startup process that you'll need to look at.

You'll definitely need a way to keep track of your donors and supporters. This will be your Donor Database and you keep track of your donors with a software package specifically designed for nonprofits -- donor management software.

I've been working with the eTapestry group for a few years now and I would highly recommend their donor management software. This program is Free to Profit Quests users for your first 500 names in your database with a sliding scale beyond this at affordable rates.

Incidentally, you can access your database from anywhere since it's maintained on the eTapestry secure server. If you are remotely interested and are looking for a donor management program, then let us work with you on this to your benefit.

Send me an email with your name, organization name, your title, number of current donors or supporters, email, address and daytime phone number to eTapestry donor management program

Fundraising Products

True Heroes Patriotic Mugs And Calendars
I ran across this fundraising product and just had to bring it to your attention, because it was so appropriate.

Patriotic mugs and calendars could be a way to add funds for your upcoming end of year school trip or for groups like American Legion and VFW Posts funding their patriotic functions.

Of course these would be hot sellers at upcoming Spring events where you can set up a booth and sell them with cold soft drinks in them as well.

There are no minimum order on mugs. Your profit is 40%. and the cost of mugs is $4.50 each. The calendars are $3 each and your profit is 40%.

The name of the collection is called "True Heroes" and this would certainly apply for our police force and fire departments. This is great for auxillaries and other support groups.

Check out these patriotic mugs.
