Eco-Friendly Fundraising Product Feature

What's so great about the fundraising ideas we present in our catalogs? Well, we're dedicating this post and subsequent posts to letting you know!

We've decided to spend some time showcasing some of the wonderful, green fundraising products we carry in our eco-friendly paper and web-catalogs.

When conducting a school fundraiser, it is important that your fundraiser has products your supporters will want to buy. Every time we visit a new school, we are struck by how impressed they are with the quality of the green products we carry.

EcoLabel Fundraising's program is designed to offer quality fundraising products that are eco-friendly. We want your supporters to be able to use the green products they purchase for your school fundraiser for years to come.

Stay tuned for learning about our eco-friendly fundraising products in future posts to come...

Practical Fundraising Ideas

To be practical is to be smart in this economy. One of our eco-friendly fundraising goals is to offer practical fundraising products. We do not want people to fill their homes with fundraising products that they will not use for many years to come.

Green fundraising ideas need to fit in with recycle, reuse and reduce. We offer recycled products to your school for your next green fundraising. We also offer green products that can be reused. Quality is the top priority for us when selecting products to add to our eco-friendly fundraising program. Finally, by offering quality products, we are allowing your fundraiser supporters to reduce what they will have to purchase over time. We want the products they buy to last them for many years.

If you are part of a school or non-profit, email us with your fundraising ideas for products to include in our line. We are always happy to review products that you have used and find to be favorable.

Presenting....Catalogs for 2009!

Our goal is to serve your organization with as much versatility as possible. In aiming to become the best we can be in 2009 at spreading the word about eco-friendly fundraising, we are adding catalogs to the tools we make available to your organization. Because we promote green fundraising, our catalogs are printed on 100% eco-friendly paper using soy-based inks.

Your customers will now be able to purchase on-line to receive their orders within a week or by ordering the traditional method via catalog.

We are thrilled to serve you in 2009. If you have any questions or would like to order an eco-friendly fundraising catalog, please feel free to drop us a note at info@ecolabelfundraising.com.

Being green is not difficult. Leading by example when fundraising is even easier with eco-friendly fundraising.

Green, Going Green, Green Fundraising!

"Going Green" is a term we hear all over the news and in magazines. It really has become a way of life in our everyday lives. Most people recycle and understand the basics of conserving energy around the home, which is a really great step! So, congrats to those of you who have made those strides.

At EcoLabel Fundraising, we hope to expand your eco-friendly reach in to your child's school or your church. Facilitating a green fundraiser is just as easy as any other fundraiser, but comes with many more benefits. For instance, each time a parent buys a green fundraising product they are likely to have one more conversation about the environment than they may have otherwise had before. And, that's pretty neat.

Conducting a fundraiser allows the organizing committee to make a positive impact not only monetarily, but also by leading by example in encouraging others to be environmentally aware.

Eco-friendly fundraising is our passion, and we hope it will become yours!

2009 Earth Day Fundraising Activities

We thought we'd offer you some ideas to kick off your Spring 2009 Fundraising Drives! Luckily we have Earth Day coming up in a couple of months, so we can refocus on the environment. EcoLabel Fundraising's program works well with the activities we have below to tie into your Earth Day festivities.

Ideas for Action around your School Campus or Non-profit:

1. Dedicate a spot in your school or non-profit's parking lot for collecting plastic water bottles. Ask children to bring in water bottles to be recycled that their families consume at home. Teachers and staff may tie in many lessons about water bottles, and their impact on the environment when they are not recycled!

2. Ask each class to come up with a new way to reuse an everyday product that may otherwise end up in the trash. Reward the winning class with a prize!

3. Ask children to individually write down 3 things they could do to help sustain the environment. Even kids can make a huge difference!

Feel free to utilize our Lesson Plans link at the bottom of the EcoLabel Fundraising page, for more ideas to utilize around your school or non-profit! Scheduling these events over the next few months will really help to keep your Eco-Friendly Fundraising campaign on the minds or your supporters.
