Fundraising Kits for your Rags to Bags Fundraiser

Available Here:

Rags to Bags Fundraising Kits are available to assist you in organizing and executing your fundraiser. You can access the components here for free, and with a little time and effort, you can copy and paste the elements into your own letters and files.

Here are the fundraising tools that we've created so far:

• Rags-to-bags Fundraiser Project guidelines
• How to Make Bags - Easy-to-print instructions for sewing a cloth bag, and using a shirt or pants for your fabric source. This is a .pdf file and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.
• Letter template for group participation
• Letter template for community donations
• Letter template for local newspaper "Letter to the Editor"
• Letter template for selling bags to your neighbors in the community
• Letter template for requesting sales space for Bag Sales from local Grocery Store managers
• Letter template thanking participants, donors and/or bag purchasers
• Rags-to-bags Fundraiser Group Web Page - Details required

Would you like your group listed on its own page?

We'll include all the contact and logistical details that you need to share with your community and neighbors. You'll be able to include a link in all the emails you send out, easily sharing the info with almost no extra effort on your part.

For a sample of the web page that your group can have posted here, see this page:

Potter Place Cheerleaders Fundraising Page

Would you like to sell your bags through a link here?

This site is new, but it's getting lots of attention. Share photos of your group - sewing, selling, celebrating! Help spread the excitement!

Use the "Contact Us" page to send all the info required. We'll get in touch with you about any additional info needed, and get the ball rolling!

If you would like to save yourself the time of copying and pasting all the various components of this kit, you can purchase a digital download of all files for $14.95. This download includes all the files posted here, plus templates for Business cards and tags only available in this purchase. If your time is worth more than $15 per hour, you may find this to be the better solution, rather than copying everything by hand. The profit from your purchase serves to support this website.
