Green Holiday Wrapping Paper - With the holiday season just around the corner you can raise money by wrapping presents with waste materials. If you contact your local AAA office they will be glad to give you hundreds of out of date maps.Maps have too much ink to be recycled and the AAA tosses thousands of them every year. They are large enough to wrap most boxes and you can also fold them into gift bags.

Your group could be wrapping for donations. I’ve heard of groups take in several hundred dollars in a single day and your only expense will be tape!

Another great Green Holiday Fundraising Ideas is Selling Christmas Trees!

Things to remember when planning your Christmas Tree Fundraising event:

•Recruit plenty of volunteers
•Price it right
•Advertising is the key
•Make your Christmas tree lot stand out

Recruiting Volunteers – Have volunteers sign up in shifts. You’ll need volunteers to sell the trees, cut stumps and load the trees on cars, and others to make wreaths to sell from the trimmings.

Pricing – Know what your competition has and how it is priced. Price your trees and wreaths accordingly. Make sure potential customers know that all profits are for a good cause.

Don’t skimp on advertising – Your Christmas fundraising efforts will only be effective if people know you are there! Take advantage of newsletters, email lists and even TV and radio.

Stand out from the crowd – Make your tree lot visually appealing. Use twinkle lights, yard ornaments and pretty signs. If your budget allows, get a snow making machine or one that blows bubbles that look like snow.
