Christmas Fundraisers – A great idea for churches, youth groups, and schools is to sell Christmas trees and holiday wreaths.
For many groups, Christmas fundraisers can be the biggest fundraising event of the year. The key is planning and volunteer coordination.
Selling Christmas Trees is a great holiday fund raiser! 
Things to remember when planning your Christmas fundraising event:
- Recruit plenty of volunteers
- Price it right
- Advertising is the key
- Make your Christmas tree lot stand out
Recruiting Volunteers – Have volunteers sign up in shifts. You’ll need volunteers to sell the trees, cut stumps and load the trees on cars, and others to make wreaths to sell from the trimmings.
Pricing – Know what your competition has and how it is priced. Price your trees and wreaths accordingly. Make sure potential customers know that all profits are for a good cause.
Don’t skimp on advertising – Your Christmas fundraising efforts will only be effective if people know you are there! Take advantage of newsletters, email lists and even TV and radio.
Stand out from the crowd – Make your tree lot visually appealing. Use twinkle lights, yard ornaments and pretty signs. If your budget allows, get a snow making machine or one that blows bubbles that look like snow.
