Raising money in this challenged economy can prove to be very taxing for Churches and other non profit organizations. Most fundraisers require that the organization put money up front before they raise a dime for their church. Haven't we all been interrupted by the kid selling candy door to door? Or the neighbor whose kid is selling pizzas or cookie dough? All of these product are consumable and will soon be forgotten once they are gone. As the saying goes, out of sight out of mind. It's time to choose a fundraising idea that's unique and long lasting.
