ABOUT Ornaments For Churches
Benefits Local Churches, Organizations, and Our Military
The Ornaments for Churches program is designed as a fundraising community partnership between local churches and/or organizations and the FREE Military Appreciation Directory (MAD)
1) For Churches/Organizations: Our program can be used as an easy way to raise funds to help cover operational costs, support missions, or help foster community involvement.
2) For the Military Appreciation Directory*: This program raises funds that will help to offset the ongoing costs associated with updating and maintaining the directory.
*FYI: The Military Appreciation Directory (aka MAD) is a FREE resource specifically designed for military families. The MAD lists the area businesses and organizations that support our veterans and military service members. The directory is ONLY funded by sponsorships and this program.
NOTE: Many veterans and military members are devout people of faith and the ability to attend area churches plays a significant role in their spiritual lives. Ornaments for Churches is proud to support these two very worthy causes.
WHY ORNAMENTS as a FUNDRAISER?
Christmas ornaments can be a fantastic fundraiser for several compelling reasons:
Broad Appeal: Almost everyone celebrates Christmas in some way, even if it's just enjoying the festive atmosphere.
Emotional Connection: Ornaments often carry sentimental value, evoking memories and traditions. People are often willing to purchase unique or personalized ornaments, especially if it supports a good cause.
Gift-Giving Potential: Ornaments make wonderful, unique and affordable gifts. During the holiday season, people are actively looking for items that are more personal and aren't necessarily sold online or by big box stores.
Tangible Product: Unlike many perishable products, such as candy, popcorn or chocolates, which are quickly consumed during the holidays, a Christmas ornament is truly a gift that keeps on giving for many years to come.
* Attractive Price Point: You can offer ornaments at various price points, making them accessible to a everyone.
* Event Integration: Ornaments can be easily incorporated into existing fundraising events like holiday bazaars, craft fairs, or even online auctions. They can also be sold independently.
Repeat Business Potential: If your ornaments are well-received and become cherished items, supporters might be inclined to purchase new ones each year, creating a sustainable fundraising opportunity.
In summary, Christmas ornaments tap into the festive spirit, offer a tangible and often sentimental product, and have broad appeal, making them a powerful tool for successful fundraising.
