FUNDRAISING IDEAS
You can raise your own support to attend 7 Weeks in Asia. It's part of the missions training.
-
Bottle Drive - collect bottles from friends and family and get money off of it, pro - you make 100% of the profit
-
Bake Sale / Garage Sale / Hot Dog BBQ - pro: can make a good amount, depending on how many people are buying, con: takes a lot of time and money out of profit
-
Partner with a company - Example: Sell Coffee with a Local Coffee Shop - pro: gives lots of awareness, con: only a small percentage of sales go to you
-
Offering to do work for someone - yard work, manual labour
-
Get the awareness out there - write a letter to those you know, social media, talk about it to everyone you know
