5. SCRATCH CARD
FUNDRAISERS
Scratch cards are a fun way to raise more
funds. Each donor scratches off 2 of the 60
dots and donates the amount that is
revealed. This can bring in 30 donations per
card.
A scratch card fundraiser can be very
profitable for your organization. Most of the
time, it can raise around $100 per card.

6. DISCOUNT CARD
FUNDRAISERS
When they buy a discount card from your
organization, donors receive discounts from
well-known and local retailers in exchange
for the donation.
This can include pizza chains and movie
theater chains, for example.

7. BROCHURE
FUNDRAISING
Brochure fundraising can be a low-cost
option. Your organization doesn’t need to
pay upfront for fundraising products.
Once you’ve collected your orders, you’ll
know how many fundraising products to buy
from the brochure to meet the demand
