But if you spend even a little time searching the web for church fundraising ideas you'll quickly learn that there are hundreds - if not thousands - of sites touting the latest and greatest church fund raiser. But who really wants to sell pizzas that taste like cardboard or popcorn that is more like box packaging material than something edible? And does anyone really want to buy a roll of Christmas rapping paper for five dollars when they can get three rolls for a dollar at their local store?
There are a lot of church fund raising ideas out there - unfortunately, though, there aren't very many good ones.
How do you tell a good church fund raiser from a bad one? Read my guidelines here.
My Suggestions
The church fundraising ideas listed below are my own suggestions. They are consistent with the guidelines I discuss here.

Take donations on your church web site. People can't always get to church to give their offering and sometimes they just aren't comfortable putting money in an offering plate. So if you allow people to give money directly to the church through your church web site you will make it more convenient for a lot of people. And many churches discover that giving increases when this church fundraising idea is added. All you have to do is sign up for an account at PayPal, follow the instructions to create a 'Donate' button, then copy and pase the HTML code to your church web site. That's all there is to it!
Use affiliates on your church web site. Many online companies will pay you a commission for the business you refer to them through your web site. Christianbook.com is a good example. Sign up for their affiliate program, create special links on their site, copy the code and paste it into your church web site. When people click the links on your site and make a purchase at Christianbook.com, you receive a commission. The books I have in my 'bookstore' are examples of affiliate links. Encourage people to click on your links before they make purchases.
Not sure about signing up as an affiliate? Are you new to earning commissions like this? Or do you just want a little more information? The best resource I know for learning about affiliate income is the Affiliate Masters Course by Ken Evoy. No matter where you are on your journey to internet income, this FREE guide will help put more in your pocket. Either click the book to the left to open the book immediately, or right click and download the book to your computer.
Sign up for store rewards cards.Grocery and department stores often offer rewards cards to encourage people to shop at their stores. When you make a purchase at their store the clerk scans your card and a small percentage of your purchase is credited to your church. Your church must first create an account at the store. Then when people sign up to receive a card they will indicate that they want their rewards to go to your church. People already shop at these stores.. why not take advantage of these rewards cards!
