You can take a look at my fundraising page for inspiration(www.firstgiving.com/bapbwm) or any of the other pages linked in this blog. I received a great response by creating an event in which my friends could participate and by specifically asking for $1 donations. Creating a fundraising page is very easy to do, and our blog has lots of other tips, tricks and resources for you. Hope that helps; let us know when you've got your page going! Hi Jane,

The ministry is for men who suffer from substance and alcohol abuse. Last year "Open Door Ministry" helped repair and to heal families for 104 men. It's a great ministry but due to the economy we need cash flow. We are a non-profit ministry. Any ideas on how to get the $1.00 fund raiser started? Thank you for any suggestions.

Great idea. Many people need to start somewhere, and if they missed out on giving a nickel every week in Sunday school, a $1 regularly to somewhere can get a person into the giving spirit.

We are doing a fund raiser through Applebee's. They will open on a Saturday morning from 7am to 10am and will will have apancake breakfast. Tickets cost $5.00 each and we get $3.50 of that amount. We do have to pay the cook $39.00 and part of food costs (the manager told me it would be minimal). I believe that this can be done at all Applebee's.
