Fundraising Ideas for Nonprofit Organizations
Is it possible to save money and raise money at the same time?
Is it possible to help raise money without having to write a check, sell cookies or raffles for your Church, VFW, or School Fundraising?
Many non profit organizations have partnered with Viridian Energy which has allowed them to create unbelievable fundraising ideas for non profit organizations in which the NPO tells their constituents to leave their checkbook at home and bring in their energy bills.
Many of you may not have heard of Viridian.
Viridian is an environmentally responsible third party energy supplier of green reusable energy. Many people are unaware that with energy deregulation it is their right to choose their electric supply from a company such as Viridian. Some of you have already been getting calls from different companies urging you to switch.
Your state and your local utility wants you to choose your own supply for your electric. It is illegal for your electric company to profit off
of the supply of electricity and the supply portion of your bill is usually the larger portion of your bill.
The customer would be staying with their current company with the same billing and service but is choosing their supply from a third party supplier which will save money.
Currently Viridian is available to residential and commercial customers in Connecticut, Maryland, NJ, and Pennsylvania with NY, Illinois, and Maine coming in the near future.
Viridian customers save up to 30% each month by way of Viridian’s floating or variable pricing that allows the customer’s price to rise or fall monthly based on the wholesale cost, so there is a guaranteed savings built in regardless of the direction in which the wholesale price moves.
For Viridian’s customers, there is no cost to switch, no credit card required, no contract or obligation, no credit checks, no cost to switch back and it only takes 5 minutes to enroll as a customer.
At Non Profit fundraising activities, supporters are asked if they would be interested in saving money on their electric bill and helping the environment which will in turn help raise money for their organization. It doesn’t matter if it is a Church, PTA, VFW, Youth Group, Baseball Team, or a School Fundraising.
What generally is done at the NPO fundraising activities is the NPO is provided a website for their constituents to plug in their information from their electric bill, they save money, and the NPO will receive income that will keep coming in month after month, year after year with Viridian’s compensation and residual income opportunity.
Fundraising activities that do not require money will definitely create an all around great feeling, but one thing for sure is
that deregulated energy is a fairly new market for residual income opportunities which will draw much more
competition. There is no way that anyone can predict the competition that will arise in the near future or how close or
far that competition may be from what Viridian is offering. To my knowledge, there are no fundraising activities that are
even close to something like the one with Viridian Energy and I doubt that there ever will be.
