Scratch Card Fund Raising - Fast, Easy, and Lots of "Scratch"
Scratch card fund raising is a brilliant idea that is one of the easiest and most profitable too. Scratch cards can be used for schools, churches, soccer teams or any other fund raising group imaginable.
Here's how it works
On each scratch card are several rows of silver dots like you'd find on a lottery ticket. Your fundraising volunteer asks potential donors if they'd like to play a scratch game to help your fund raiser. Under each dot is an amount from zero to $5.00 and the
 |
The best part is that even if they end up donating the maximum amount, they still get a sheet with valuable coupons just for participating! Truly, this is a win-win proposition.
The beauty of this is that most people are willing to play the game because they know that the maximum amount that they will have to pay is only five bucks and their obligation might even be less, and they get a bunch of coupons worth more than that just for playing.
Many times people who scratch off smaller amounts will still donate the higher amount anyway. Even if everyone pays only the minimum amount that they scratch off, each card is worth about $90.00 to your fund raising group, all without selling, ordering, delivering and returning to collect money.
This is also a great add-on to many of the fund raisers we list on this site. Ask your existing sponsors and pledges if they'd like to play a scratch game. Even if they're already giving to your fund raising group in some other way, many people are still willing to play because of the small amounts involved.
