SELLING STUFF
GLOBAL VILLAGE FUNDRAISING GUIDE
Selling stu
(at events and online)
ere is a huge list of creative ways to sell products. Some that are successful are
included here, but use your creativity and share your successes with us!
Yard sale
Being part of a GV trip is a good excuse to clean out your closets. Have a yard sale.
Ask friends and neighbors to donate items, and be sure to advertise that all proceeds
will support your Habitat for Humanity Global Village project. If you have kids who
want to help out, add a bake sale or lemonade stand. You could even let the buyer de-
cide how much to “donate” for each item. You will be surprised by people’s generosity.
Virtual craft show
If you are an artist or make cra s, you could sell handmade items. Host an
event and tell your friends to go to your etsy store and purchase things where all
proceeds will be donated to Global Village.
T-shirt sales
Design a T-shirt. You could create an iron-on design that you put on secondhand
T-shirts in good condition (or low-cost new shirts) and sell at your events or on-
line (or give to your donors).
Other products
Find local businesses that will allow you to sell their products for a pro t. For
example, Café Campesino in Americus, Georgia, o ers organic fair-trade co ee
that it allows GV participants to use to raise money toward their GV Challenge
goals. Go to ee and click on the Café Campesino fund-
raising link for details.
