Best way to fundraise with a quilt?

Emoore · 11-21-2011, 10:05 AM

One of AGSDR's supporters has donated a gorgeous handmade queen-sized quilt to the rescue. We're trying to figure out the best way to use it for fundraising. I looked at ebay and they're literally not bringing anything. Raffle? Silent auction?

My first thought was silent auction.

I would think raffle or silent auction would be the best. Do you have any big events coming up where you can display it? Or make it a page on their website and promote the heck out of it. Good luck.

I thought it said to fundraise with GUILT and, which I could definitely help with.

Do you have someone good on the computer who could do a live auction on your website? IAMRA.org does that - they get great auctions going on their site.

It's a good time to do a big fundraiser like that, too. I would say you'd want to set a minimum for it - price quilts - handmade, see what would be reasonable. Or tickets - make sure that so many get sold.

I say raffle, too, or silent auction. But I'm one who never buys a ticket, just knowing I will not win!

I vote raffle, we're always buying raffle tickets around here

Jean - you always manage to crack me up!

I would go with a raffle - sit outside of a shopping center or other high traffic area. Perhaps the local Petco or Petsmart!

raffle! And put a picture on here of the quilt! I would buy tickets!

raffle. They work better. Coordinate with grocery and pet and hardware stores. Display it online and at events. Make the tickets a buck a piece, or a deal of 5 tickets for 4 bucks. Believe, yall will make some money.

I think raffle too. But around here you need a special permit or license to sell raffle tickets.
