Church Fundraising Made Simple

Posted by Aaron Jeschke on November 3, 2009

When churches put on extracurricular activities, trips, and retreats typically some measure of Church fundraising is needed. Generally speaking, such events are lead and organized by volunteers who also happen to have full time positions elsewhere. This puts significant time constraints on those involved in leading the fundraiser. Churches need Christian Fundraising ideas that are fast, profitable, and easy to put together. I have been involved in churches for over 20 years and often an extra event means extra fundraising. Pastors and other staff have a myriad of responsibilities that require their fullest attention. Fundraising is the last thing they want to be thinking about (I am also a pastor’s kid so I know this from experience).

I think that the Samaritan Card is a great fundraising solution for churches. Volunteers and church members don’t need to spend a significant amount of time planning intricate and complex fundraisers with unpredictable results. Instead they can sell the Samaritan Card which allows their donors to save up to 50% at over 100,000 merchants nationwide. Best of all, churches can bring in profits of up to 70% per card. If you are a church that needs to raise money consider the Samaritan Card.
