Community Partner: SignUp
Traditionally carwashing as been a great way for schools, teams and non-profits to raise money. But the times have changed, with the significant environmental concerns surounding "Charity Carwashes" what's good for the goose isn't always good for the gander. (Click Here to read more about Charity Carwashes)
So it got everyone at Easywash thinking, how can we use our facility to the benefits of the community and the evironment at the same time.
That's how our Community Fundraising Program was born.
Sounds like Fundraising Heaven doesn't it?
I guarantee our system is Easy to Use and Simple to Promote… Plus there’s absolutely NO COST to your organization and virtually NO REAL EFFORT involved, yet the results will be Very Rewarding!
I assure you it IS that EASY and here's an example!
The Grade 12 Girls soccer team is going to the Canadian Championships in the Spring but and they need to raise $4000 before they can go. So the girls get together and come up with a plan on how they are going to get as many people as they can to go to WashMe.ca and become a supporter of their team.
- They Tweet their friends on Twitter
- They post information on Facebook
- They Email all their friends and family
- They put up flyers around the school
- Their school agrees to include a flyer in with all the report cards
- Their PAC sent out the information in their newsletter
In a short time they are able to assemble 300 supporters!
How long will it take them to raise the money?
If a supporter purchases 1 of our Guardian washes a month ($20 each) we'll donate $3.80 on their behalf. (that's 20% of the pre-tax value) Multiply that by 300 supporters and that's $1140 a month. Their goal was $4000 so divide that by $1140 and you get 3½ month to raise the money.
And what did the Girls Soccer Team have to do in order to raise $4000 in 3½ Months? All they had to do was tell everyone they know to go to www.WashMe.ca and signup to become a supporter... It's really is that EASY!
