It makes perfect sense to hold an Easter fundraiser for a number of reasons:

  1. Seasonal Excitement: Easter is a wonderful time for community involvement and fundraising since it is a season of joy, rebirth, and celebration.
  2. Involvement of the Family and Community: A lot of Easter traditions such as egg hunts and themed parties, are suitable for families, drawing big crowds and boosting engagement.
  3. Themed Fundraising Ideas: Easter offers inventive and entertaining ways to raise money, like raffles, cookie dough bake sales, egg hunts and chocolate sales.
  4. Spring Timing: Easter takes place in the spring, when people are more inclined to go outside and attend festivities, which increases turnout.
  5. Excellent for Schools, Churches, and Nonprofits: Easter is a great time of the year for fundraising because it is frequently connected to religious and community
  6. Promotes Generosity: The generosity of Easter makes people more inclined to donate to worthy causes.

Here’s a detailed guide to help you successfully organise it:

1. Outline Your Fundraising Mission

  • Choose the amount of money you wish to raise.
  • Determine the quantity of chocolate goods you must sell in order to meet that target.

2. Pick a Vendor of Chocolate

• Collaborate with a quality chocolate supplier that provides fundraising packages (Signature chocolates for example).

• Take into account partnering with a business that offers a profit-sharing model or purchasing in bulk and reselling at a markup.

3. Decide on Your Selling Approach

• Pre-order Sales: Receive orders ahead of time, and then deliver the chocolates.

• Direct Sales: Purchase chocolates in large quantities and resell them right away.

• Online Sales: Make use of a website for fundraising where customers may place orders for chocolates to be delivered.

4. Determine Your Selling Locations and Approach

• Make sales at local businesses, churches, and neighbourhood events. See this previous article but still relevant: Best fundraising locations – Gogo Fund

• To increase reach, collaborate with youth organisations, schools, or sports teams.

• Spread the word about the fundraising on social media, your non-profit website, and adding posters at  your physical locations.
