Fall into Fundraising Seminar Ideas Part III

Thank you to the attendees of the Fall into Fundraising Seminar!  They each shared some great fundraising ideas with us, and I have attempted to encapsulate them here for you!

Wine Pull:  Create a wine pull at the auction.  Have members of the organization each donate a bottle of their favorite wine valued at least $25.  Sell a pull for $25 and each person is guaranteed to get a bottle valued at least what they paid.  If you include some $40 and $100 bottles, people have a chance to win more than what they paid as well, which increases sales.

A new take on the standard wine pull:  Get 100 donated bottles of wine that you sell a pull for $50 each.  Each bottle has a number attached and a drawing occurs during the night and the winning number gets a donated trip to Napa.  They get their bottle of wine and a chance to win a wine trip too!

Tip:  Central Market holds a big sale the first part of November when all of their wine is 25% off.  If you have some people give you a cash donation for their wine, buy during a sale to make the most of your money!
