FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
Are you looking for a way to raise money for your sports team or organization? Why not provide something the vast majority of your customers already desire? Using fresh roasted gourmet coffee for fundraising is proving to be one of the most successful fundraising products ever. Rest assured they have had their fill of cookies and candy bars. Especially the over 35 age group and those watching their waistline.
86% of households in America prepare coffee at home, according to the National Coffee Association’s 2010 National Coffee Drinking Trends industry report. This is up from 82% in 2009.
Consumers across the globe want to shop with a conscience. Most say, if given the opportunity, they would buy a product that has an environmental benefit (94%) or one that is attached to a cause (93%). And a staggering number (76% and 65%, respectively) report they have actually done just that in the past 12 months, according to the Cone Communications/Echo Research study in 2011.
Furnace Hills Coffees features direct trade (family-to-family) coffees from around the globe. Our focus is high altitude Direct Trade Certified, Shade Grown, coffees.
HOW IT WORKS
Your organization’s volunteers can offer their friends and family a standard retail size package of gourmet specialty coffee, at the same price as a fine grocery store, and keep a portion of the proceeds. The customer receives artisan, fresh roasted specialty coffees while supporting your organization and their kids, friends, students, nephews or nieces.
When you sign up as a fundraising partner, we will setup a page on our website specifically for your organization. You can then send people to this page to purchase their coffee. You will then receive $5 from every bag of coffee that is sold from your organization’s site. Every time your customer goes back to your web page to order more coffee, your organization will continue to receive the commission from those sales.
