Party Fundraisers
Conducted just like a regular Silpada home party, party fundraisers are held in a hostess' home or at a local meeting place. This could be the beneficiary organization's building, a local restaurant or fire hall, to name a few. Invitations are sent out 3 or more weeks ahead of time and guests are encouraged to RSVP and bring a guest. Guests who cannot attend are invited to shop online to benefit the fundraiser. The party allows guests to view the jewelry and speak with the organizers about the fundraiser and how the funds will help the beneficiaries. Catalog Fundraisers* Perfect for raising money for groups such as sports teams or dance academies, catalog fundraisers are conducted much like any school fundraiser. I create an envelope with each seller's name which contains everything he/she will need for the fundraiser (catalogs, order forms, etc.). We set a goal for each seller to collect 5 orders. At the end of a two or three week period, I pick up all envelopes from the coordinator. All jewelry ships directly to the customer. No delivery needed! I drop off the check for your group to the coordinator. *I can also structure my fundraisers to help individual group members earn money towards things like dance costumes, musical instruments, airfare, and more. When structured this way, the donation chart below does not apply and more specific earning criteria is set so that individuals have incentive to sell for their personal benefit. |
