Reusable Bag Fundraising Program
Our reusable bag contest generated overwhelming support from area schools, teachers and parents who are looking for ways to engage children in environmental awareness. This prompted Bulletin Bag to develop a new Reusable Bag Fundraising program for schools, church groups, youth groups and nonprofits.
Reusable bag fundraisers provide a fantastic vehicle to raise money, raise awareness about the environment and build support and pride in the nonprofit. Friends, family and community members will feel good about the environment while supporting the charitable cause.
Several bags are now available at Bulletin Bag [.com] at reduced prices for fundraisers. Bags are printed with the nonprofit logo, or artwork designed specifically for the bag. The bags are re-sold at a 50% profit margin, providing a fun, feel-good and profitable fundraising experience.
