Calendar Fundraising is Popular and Easy!

Another way that philanthropic organizations use print materials to raise funds is by selling promotional items. For example, printing calendars is relatively inexpensive and can be done quickly. Charities can then sell the calendars, providing donors with a long-lasting value for their contributions. Similarly, nonprofits can print packs of greeting cards with images representing their organization to sell for funds.

Calendar Sponsorships

Many organizations have had great success in obtaining sponsors to support the upfront cost of printing their calendars before they go to press. Having upfront sponsors also adds extra profits from calendar sales, thus enabling your school to focus on designing and selling your fundraising calendar.

Local Business

Relatives

Ask the parents and families if they’d like to purchase a personal ad to congratulate and show support for their student.

Large Corporations

Advertising Revenue Ideas

One way to increase your revenue is to ask local businesses for help with funds in return for free product placement within the calendar. You can also sell birthday and anniversary dates, personal/parent ads with pictures of students, and daily specials from supporting businesses. Sell dates within each month, for example, a local ice cream shop could buy the date that it opens up for the summer season, ensuring customers know when they resume operation. Just make sure to keep a record of past sponsors so you know who to contact for next years’ calendar.
