Scratchcard Fundraisers

Scratchcards are an unusual school fundraiser that can earn your school group up to 90% profit. A scratchcard is a small tri-fold booklet that contains a card of 60 colored "scratch-off" circles. Supporters are invited to "scratch" off one or more of the circles on the card to reveal how much they will donate, ranging from FREE to $2.50.

Scratchcards make it easy to ask people to donate to your school related group. First, the highest donation amount is only $2.50, which is a very small amount to request. It is easy to ask someone to donate something that amounts to pocket change.

No matter what the amount revealed, every person who donates gets a coupon with $75 in savings at national retailers, fast food and other merchants. So everyone gets a valuable thank you gift in return for their donation.

So how do participants approach others to ask for donations using the scratchcards? It's really pretty easy, just be polite and courteous. Always identify yourself and which group you are with. People will find it to be a nice surprise to hear that they don't have to buy anything to support your group! Make sure people know that they'll get a free coupon sheet worth $75 for each circle they scratch-off.

One of the advantages of scratchcards is that they can be completed in a very short time frame. Most participants can return a completed card to their organization in about a week.

Another advantage of scratchcards is that up to 90% of the money brought in is pure profit. This has several advantages. First, those who donate to your cause can feel confident knowing that almost all of the money they give goes directly to help your cause. It shows that you appreciate their support and respect their decision to donate.

Since there is very little overhead, a portion of the funds available could be used to provide prizes. Another option would be to request prize donations from area businesses, putting more money raised directly to the cause. The prizes could be something as simple as a coupon for a free round of miniature golf or a pizza party.

Consider offering a lot of small prizes to award those who get the cards done the quickest. It's always better to reward many of your group members, rather than just a select few. That way they will be more open to take part in your next fundraiser.
