My company recently contacted Buy for Charity looking for a fun and easy way to fundraise money for a local organization. We chose to purchase Papa John's Pizza Cards to sell to our clients, family, and friends. The fundraiser was so successful; we placed another order for 100 additional cards only 2 weeks later! The Pizza cards were easy to implement and help our company raise a substantial amount of money for a great cause.

Testimonials
I just wanted to write and let you know how pleased we are with the City Savings Cards. In March we ordered, got our fundraising card and had them sold out in less than a month. You guys are great and what a time saver. I used to do all the work to get businesses to donate or help with fundraising. I spent months on it and it was very frustrating. You guys take all the hassle out of it. I just give you the business that we would like to see on the card and you do the rest of the work. Thank you so much for an outstanding year with the La Porte D Read more

Just dropping a note to thank you and your co-workers for a job well done! The City Saving Card is a great tool for our breast cancer fundraising event. Everyone we show these to, buys one or more. You can't beat the deal. Thank you again. Read more
Beverly Brown | Allen Park, MI
Our Cub Scout Pack was very pleased with the City Savings Card program last year. We found most merchants eager to sign up (we kept it very local) and our guys found it easy to sell to their neighbors and families. Our table sale was very successful as well. We'll definitely be doing it again this year!

City Savings Cards
City Savings Cards are an excellent fundraising tool. It's a discount card fundraiser that bands together many of the best businesses in your area in a convenient package to help raise money.
Here's how it works. We compile a list of 300 merchants willing to participate in your area. Of those, you choose the ones that are the nearest and dearest to your heart. Is there's a merchant you're really dead-set on that's not on the list? No problem! We will gladly call anyone in your area to see if they're willing to pitch in on your fundraising efforts.
Once the selection process is completed, we put together a city savings card consisting of unlimited-use discounts for at least 10 of the selected merchants. We'll then design, print, and deliver these cards to you. Depending on your desires, they'll either have your organization or group's name and website, or, for a low fee, can jazz up the cards with custom designs, including such touches as a logo or pictures.
After that, it's all you! You get to sell each card for $10, a price that benefits everyone. Purchasers will be able to quickly make up that spent $10 by visiting great restaurants, car washes, bowling alleys, and more and using their new savings cards, and you'll be able to raise lots of money in an easy-to-pitch, easy-to-run fundraising drive!
This is the basic way our City Savings Cards work. There are plenty of awesome add-ons you can opt in on which can increase the attractiveness of the drive for you or your customers. You could, for example, take control of the merchant sign-up process, which can usually be done relatively easily. In doing so, you could save up to $2 per card, which would dramatically increase your profit margins. Or, you could beef up your cards by adding the merchants we carry on our Online Savings Card to your City Savings Card for only $1 per card extra! Cheap, flexible, and goodfundraising ideas: that's how we do it at here at Buy For Charity!
Fun Fundraising Is Successful Fundraising
Throwing an event is one of the best fundraising ideas out there. It's fun and simple, especially when your group is passionate about the organization and its plans for using the well-deserved cash you will earn together. Perhaps you are planning an exciting excursion or hosting a fabulous annual party, or donating the money to another reputable non-profit your group supports. However you spend it, at Buy For Charity we have the tools and advice you need to make earning it fun and successful.
Start by setting realistic fundraising goals for how much your group should earn as a whole and individually. On average, each member of the group should aim to sell between five and 15 items, whether it’s discount cards, classic candy fundraising or donations through our Give Planet fundraiser.
Plan for your fundraising to run for two to three weeks, with distinct start and end dates. Start it off with an engaging kick-off rally to get the team pumped to get out there and sell! Create a prize program as a way to reward your top supporters and encourage others to give more. Be sure to plan a straightforward sales pitch that will get your team talking about the fundraising ideas with potential donors.
As the fundraising campaign leader, set an example for the team by selling a significant number of products or accruing several donations yourself. As the face of your fundraising, be present and supportive to your team throughout the campaign.
When it’s all over, celebrate with a fundraising party (sponsored by your newly earned cash!) that you and your team will enjoy. The party can be an exciting incentive for the group when you promote it effectively throughout the fundraising event.
