Green students fundraising

Remember the days when you wandered door to door, armed with a case of chocolate bars or a catalogue, donning your best smile to raise money for your school? Once in high school, did you donate to bake sales, participate in the auctions and attend the coffee houses?

Four university graduates remember, and have collaborated to create Green Students Fundraising.

Available throughout Canada, students, campuses, groups and clubs across the country are selling green products such as CFL light bulbs and plastic-free water bottles and educating consumers in order to raise money for their projects.

Armed with the slogan, "Raising green that's clean!", you can feel good about fundraising through them. Not only are you earning money to carry out important events and programs, you're also making the world a cleaner, greener place. Check out their Facebook group too!

Hi, all. I’m an environmentally-conscious mom and I head the Community Activities Committee for my daughter’s school. To all parents and school administrators: if you’re looking for a fresh, new fundraising idea, think Green Fundraising! We recently held a Green Fundraising Event at the Wildwood Elementary School in Wilmington, MA and it was a huge success!! We raised over $8K for the school. I found that people were so much more willing to participate because we were selling only green products. There are a few online companies that can help you with your event and where you can buy the eco-products. We used Mother Earth Fundraising to purchase all of our green fundraising products and I’d highly recommend them. Great customer service and their eco-products are all 100% environmentally friendly materials.

Here’s their website if you’re curious: http://www.motherearthfundraising.com/

If anyone else has held green fundraisers, I’d love to her your story too.

Anyway, hope this helps and stay GREEN!
