1. Setting Your Goal
This is the time when you decide the most crucial information for your fundraiser. Depending on your organization, you may do this by yourself or with a committee. You will need to determine answers for three very important questions: How much money do we need to raise? When are we going to start and end our fundraiser? How do we make a lasting impression with our fundraiser? These questions will continue to come up through the course of your planning and having the right answers will help make the planning a breeze.

2. Selecting Your Fundraiser
Think back to the last question in Step 1, "how do we make a lasting impression with our fundraiser?" The product you are offer is undoubtedly the most important part of your fundraiser. There are many fundraisers that come to mind: car washes, candy sales, magazines subscriptions and hundreds of other ideas. While these are all great ideas, they do not leave a lasting impression from your fundraiser. Your efforts will be forgotten as soon as the candy wrapper hits the trashcan or the first rainstorm washes away the shine of a freshly washed car. Furthermore, fundraisers such as candy sales isolate members of your church who are diabetic, dieting or allergic to popular ingredients like nuts or chocolates.

Ministry Fundraisers provides your group with a long lasting impression that can be enjoyed by ALL members of your church and community. Our Christian apparel will remind the members of your church about your group's last fundraiser each time they pull their purchase out of their drawer. Also, keeping in mind that these shirts and hoodies will get most of it's wear to church-based activities, you will be receiving free advertising for your next fundraiser everytime someone asks, "Where did you get that shirt?" This excitement and self-promotion only adds to the anticipation and success of your next fundraiser.
