A Fundraiser that is Fun for Singles

Posted by Thomas Freiling on August 28, 2009

One of the more difficult groups of people to motivate when it comes to Christian Fundraising are Singles groups. Most singles are either completely engulfed in their career or searching for that special someone. The problem is that singles have a deep need for fellowship, but they don’t want to raise the funds to make it happen.

As a young single man myself their are a few things that I would not want to partake in when it comes to Church fundraising. First, there are few single men that I know that would want to participate in a bake sale. Think about it. Secondly, selling cookie dough or chocolate bars is hardly culturally acceptable for single adults to be participate in (though they would find it delicious). What singles groups need is a product that motivates them to sell for both intrinsic quality and social acceptability. The singles I know tend to have a pretty strong social conscious (they are trying to find that special someone).

I think the Samaritan Card is the perfect fundraiser for singles groups. Singles will be motivated to sell the product because it inherently benefits the donor and it is a socially acceptable and enjoyable product to distribute for singles. It is a product that singles would want to have for themselves. Why wouldn’t they want to sell it to a donor? It is a fast, fun, easy way to raise the funds that singles groups need!
