The cost of gold has been climbing while donations from supporters have been decreasing as a result of current economy. While predictions on how high the gold price will climb vary with regards to the source; some say $1200 per troy ounce, some say $1500 and some even say $2000 by the end of 2010, they all agree the price of pure gold is and will continue to increase from today’s current spot price which is around $1150. So what does this mean for your organization? To date, the average gold donation is $150; that’s only a few pieces of old jewelry and as the price increases for pure gold, so does your average donation amount.

EasyFundraisers.org has developed a fundraising model that is zero-cost and zero-hassle for non-profits and we know this may sound too good to be true but luckily it is. We know you are curious to what an average gold donation looks like, so go to our site to find out more and see how easy easy fundraisers are. This is the ideal opportunity for you to ask supportive folks who are there to help the church with money.

Get some booths set up with all sorts of extra fundraisers, so the advocates who came to spend can do precisely that. With booths at your church fundraiser, you can do anything you wish to, actually – some churches have 1 or 2 booths with food and drinks, with another section for more fun stuff like discount cards. Discount cards are particularly beneficial, because folk can carry them around to distribute, too. You’ll even set up a table or two with catalogue fundraisers, so that folks who need to stop and skim, can.
