The Father's House has developed a winning plan for raising funds for your church as well as supporting the many ministries of the Father's House. Our plan is broken up into 5 phases which are outlined below.
Preparation is the key to a successful fundraiser!
A quick 4-hour sale of the cards on a Saturday. Get as many members as you can to blanket the whole town.
Tell the whole congregation about the fundraiser and have a table set up in the back of the church for them to purchase a card for themselves.
Have members that want to help take 10 cards home with them and sell them to friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.
Gather all unsold cards and money collected, fill out the "Blitz Reconciliation" form, and send unsold cards and a check for the cards you sold back to us.
How the program works: If one of the ministries in your church needs to raise funds, simply contact us and tell us how many cards you think you will need. We will send them to you with no upfront charge; the ministry distributes as many cards as needed to raise the funds required for that event. The card's suggested donation value is $25.00. At the end of your fundraiser send any unused cards and a check or money order for $10.00 per card used to FHEF. See some of the examples below...
Example 1: A youth group of 20 wants to go to summer camp. The cost is $200 per person. The youth group needs to raise $4000.00 for the trip. They contact the Father's House and ask for 500 cards. Each member of the youth group successfully receives donations from between 15 and 25 cards each with the average being 20. The Youth group just raised $6,000 for them and $4,000 for the Father's House!!!! The youth pastor sends the Father's House a check for $4000.00 along with the 100 unused cards in the prepaid return box.
Example 2: A church has 15 members that will be going on a mission trip to Costa Rica. The cost for each person is $1,000.00. Members of the church have given $3,000.00 in special offerings leaving a balance of $12,000.00 needed to fund the trip. The entire church decides to use Father's House cards as a fundraiser for the mission trip. 100 members of the church sign up to distribute the cards. Each person only needs to sell 8 cards for the entire church to raise $12,000.00. That is right, only 8 cards each will raise $12,000.00 for the church and $8,000.00 will be raised for the Father's House to send pastors to Israel and continue to support the other life changing ministries!
