Christian Fundraising Essential #1: Low Upfront Costs

Posted by Fundraising Pro on February 15, 2010

If you have ever worked in the world of Christian fundraising, you understand that because churches and Christian organizations rely on fundraising to support their ministries and outreaches, donations are always welcome. This is why successful Christian fundraising is so important to Christian organizations. But many in need of funds are presented with the same dilemma when the times comes to pursue a Christian fundraiser: funds are desperately needed, but the upfront costs of a Christian fundraiser prove to be too risky or too much for their organizatioin’s budget to handle.

When working with a Christian fundraising company, you will be asked for a deposit when placing your order. These are known as upfront costs, and are necessary for the company to continue serving you and your fundraising needs. But when your church or Christian organization is in desperate need of funds, these upfront costs can take a huge toll on your budget, often forcing you to look elsewhere for a cheaper Christian fundraiser with less risk and lower upfront costs.

This is why some companies have chosen to lower their upfront costs, some even letting you fundraise before the upfront costs are due! Samaritan Fundraising is an example of one such company. With Samaritan Fundraising, your upfront costs are only $1 per Samaritan Card, and that balance isn’t even due until after your Christian fundraiser is over! This gives your church or Christian organization ample time to raise money before your deposit is due, creating a truly risk-free fundraiser.
