dry Dish For A Cause (http://www.dishcares.com) they donate $ 60 (or $ 120 if you have a non-profit 501(c)3 or tax id for IRS purposes) every time a friend, supporter of the fundraiser, etc. orders Dish network. For more info you can check out their website or contact them i believe their email is [email protected]

They helped a friend of mine raise money for their church mission trip.

If you get at least 20 orders in a calendar month (new customers only) they will donate $ 135 per order instead of $ 120. It is cleaner than a bake sale, not as messy as a car wash, and much more profitable. Just involves spreading the word and they will even print “THE HOPE CENTER” on the flyers, so people will know what their supporting!!

with that donation increase, just 20 activation is $ 2,700.

They worked for us, and didn’t cost a thing! (yes many fundraisers actually want you to pay things up front or make a deposit for their services… come on non-profits need fundraisers to RECEIVE money, not for some scammer to TAKE their money.

Hope it works for you like it did for us!!
God Bless
Jason
