Partner with a a Non-Profit /Charity Group and Have a Jewelry Fundraiser

Partnering with a non-profit/charity group and hosting a jewelry fund raiser is a win win situation for all parties involved. Even if your product/service is NOT jewelry related, you can still use this information and resource!

1. The non-profit can raised funds for their cause
2. You sell your jewelry wholesale or donate a % of the proceeds from sales and gain valuable exposure in your community
3. Both parties can use this in a PR campaign to of course raise awareness and funds

I was just recently introduced to a company, Smart Raise, by the co-founder, John Keating. I love their business model. It can help any non-proift/charity group have an internet presence to assist in fundraising.



SmartRaise is a 100% free fundraising program that allows school groups, community organizations, and other charitable causes to easily develop an internet presence and safely raise money online.
At SmartRaise, groups earn money by inviting their supporters to make everyday purchases through our network of leading online merchants. In turn, the merchants in our network pass a portion of their sales back to each shopper's designated cause. Supporters pay the exact same prices they always would (or even less thanks to our many discount programs) and automatically earn financial rewards for their favorite causes. It's that simple!**

Personally, I can think of several organizations that I could approach for fund raising projects...
1. My children's school
2. Animal Shelter
3. Church
4. Women & Children's Center...
