Fundraising Fatigue Stops Here

You may not have heard of fundraising fatigue…

…but chances are you’ve experienced it.

The constant request for donations and/or participation in fundraising is exhausting. We would all like to contribute to our respective causes on an ongoing basis, but the reality is our budgets and time constraints don’t allow it. Buying chocolate bars and magazine subscriptions every week to support the school’s music department isn’t realistic. Likewise, baking muffins for the school’s bake sale is not a sustainable fundraising model. How many chocolate bars are enough? How many magazine subscriptions do you even want? How many batches of muffins are you prepared to bake? These and similar fundraising models are both financially and emotionally draining; this is fundraising fatigue.

Does fundraising always have to be costly and time consuming?

No! Shop and Support has put a stop to fundraising fatigue! When you shop using gift cards, you are raising funds for your school with every dollar you spend. With over 250 national retailers, you will be able to raise funds while buying your weekly groceries, gas and other necessities. Why not raise money while booking your family’s vacation, completing that renovation project or dining out at your family’s favourite restaurant?

This is fundraising at its finest; you can raise thousands of dollars through your regular shopping without any additional expense or without having to change your spending habits!

“It’s a great way of raising money, that doesn’t require asking people to buy products that they don’t need. We love that our supporters can purchase cards that they will use for their everyday needs such as groceries, home improvements, gas, clothing and more!” -Caroline Leveille, parent

Shop and Support is your secret weapon to becoming a fundraising superstar!

Need money fast? Launch a SHOPATHON!

Is your school in desperate need of a major renovation? Or maybe your library needs new computers. Call on your friends, family, co-workers and neighbours to purchase gift cards within a one week time period and watch your fundraising dollars grow! You’ll be amazed at how quickly you’ll reach your fundraising goals without any additional expense.

“Last June a speeding vehicle went through a chain link fence and destroyed the playground equipment for our middle aged students. Insurance did not cover all of the costs to replace it. We are participating in the SHOPATHON to finish paying off that cost as well as to raise the funds needed to replace the old equipment that the younger students use. We like the SHOPATHON because we are already using Shop and Support and with some extra effort we can raise money for our playground.” -Cornerstone Christian School
