This is an easy fundraiser idea for any group, whether it’s a school, church, nonprofit, or cause-related organization. Doing a ‘chair-ity’ fundraiser is so simple, and yet so profitable, that you’ll be amazed at your results.
You see, a chair-ity fundraiser revolves around fundraising with chairs, new or used, it doesn’t matter. What matters is simply the presentation. That is, what gets added to the chair in the way of decoration, accessories, and enhancements.
Calling all chairs
Put the word out to your supporters about your chair-ity event.

There are several factors that must be taken into account while choosing the right fundraising event. Therefore whenever you are thinking of starting a charity fund raising event, make sure that you have a clear idea of the area of what the fund raising will be used for, who will help run the fund raisin event and where the fund raising event will take place.

Here Is A Secure Way To Cash Flow Control
As a trustee of a charitable trust I have to be sure we have a secure way to control cash flow. The trust provides buggies for the mobility impaired at events around the UK.
Trustees we give their time free and the trust has three part time employees who with the support of volunteers provide the services at the events and management of all operations including cash flow.
To give an indication of scale we move the 130 buggies around the UK in 4 – 40 foot trailers as currently we attend 42 events this year.
