It’s that time of year again – lovely spring , when the weather is finally warm after long months of cold winter. So you might be wondering: What are the best fundraisers for spring? We’ve got some ideas to help you with that.
Offer flower bulbs to your supporters.
Every year your supporters plant flowers for their gardens, so why not make it easier for them by offering them flower bulbs? We offer several types of bulbs, all of which are guaranteed to bloom. They come in 2 catalogs, which have tulips, daffodils, orchids, and anemone, among many others. Your group can make a cool 50% by selling these bulbs, which will blossom into beautiful, colorful flowers. We also offer Garden in a Bag, which is a package containing seeds, soil pellets, and foil-lined bags that your supporters can use to grow their own tiny “gardens”. They can plant tomatoes, oregano and jalapeño peppers, among others, in the bags. But whichever they choose, they’re all a great value—the plants are guaranteed to blossom, and your supporters will appreciate the convenience they offer. Your group can make 50% with this free-to-start fundraiser.
You can offer them high-quality gifts for spring too.
Are your busy supporters short on time because they’re taking care of their families? Make their lives a little easier with our UnWrap Spring Shopper, a catalog with 92 spring products, as well as 30 magazine choices. The catalog offers a great variety of kitchen and garden goods, along with some tasty food, so that your supporters can save time by not having to shop.
Springtime planting!
Gather together your supporters for the fundraiser of the season: planting together. This fundraiser is simple, and it’s fun for everyone, both young and old. Best of all, you and your supporters can plant a variety of flora—flowers, fruits, herbs, trees and even vegetables. This fundraiser works well in tandem with our flower bulbs – simply have your supporters bring their flower bulbs and then you can all get planting together.
Go hiking!
During spring, not only is the weather beautiful – so is the scenery. So plan a hike up the mountains for your supporters. Have your group members learn about the local plants and animals that live in the area so that they can teach your supporters interesting new information while they’re going up the hill. Finally, make sure to bring delicious picnic food for when you guys take a lunch break. Your supporters will have a blast!
Host a spring fling.
It may not be time for prom yet, but you can host a dance – a spring fling! For this event, have your supporters dress up in fancy clothes – colorful ones, of course – and invite them to the social event of the season, with games, prizes, and, of course, dancing to upbeat music. Decorate the area – you can do this at the park or even at a reception hall – in bright spring colors, and ask your supporters to invite their friends, since the more, the merrier. Happy dancing! These are some of the best fundraisers for spring: offer our spring catalog and flower bulbs to your supporters, spend a day planting flora together, go on a scenic hike, and organize a spring fling. We hope these ideas help you in planning your spring fundraiser.
