Fundraising Flea Market

Fundraising is a necessary evil for most of the non-profit organizations such as churches and small ministries. With just a little 'imaginative ways to raise money are endless. Ideally, you should receive gifts of sponsorship from your supporters and you never would have had to raise money again. But in the real world fundraising is part of life.

A great way to raise money is to use the garage sale and flea market model and sell or re-sell items for your fundraiser. The first step towards a fundraiser is to collect all the items to be sold at the fundraiser.

These items can be baked such cookies and cakes, or any type of party homemade. Other articles can be found in local flea markets and garage sales.
