Raising Funds the Green way.

Our Green fundraiser is currently in high gear as many schools, clubs, churches, temples and non-profits are painlessly raising money by selling the myGreenSpark Redemption Book - the first ever Green Coupon Book for Southern California. If you are aren't doing this fundraiser yet, it's time to offer your supporters an easy way to help in their New Years Resolution to live Greener.

This week Treehugger.com reported that 48% of Americans have this exact resolution. We think this must be closer to 60% or 70% here in Southern California. Our book and our fundraiser helps people Go Green. Why not offer your supporters a service to meet their goals, while raising funds for your school or organization?


Just get in touch with us and we'll come out and meet you, bring you a book to see and get you setup to do the fundraiser in no time at all. See the image below to find out why we think we've developed a great fundraiser.

For National customers outside of SoCal, we will have a Green Coupon Book for you to raise money with by the end of February. It's a coupon book filled with coupons that are redeemable over the Internet, so anyone anywhere can enjoy going green with a discount!

We hope to hear from you soon.

Green Ambassadors and Fundraising Green Team Up to Raise Money for Environmental Youth Programs

Green Ambassadors, a project of Environmental Charter High School, is an environmental education program that empowers youth to become agents of change in their communities and the world. The goals of the program include: Educating and motivating youth, inspiring them to set a "Green" example through open idea exchange and social action; To create a learning environment that will inspire new thought, helping young people to develop confidence in themselves, their fellow students and in their future; To create "Green Ambassadors" for local communities and the world, inspiring hope within us all for a just, sustainable and peaceful planet.

Fundraising Green is the official fundraising partner of Green Ambassadors. Both organizations have teamed together to raise awareness and funds for a Green future. By selling the first ever Green Coupon Book for Southern California, the myGreenSpark Redemption Book, Green Ambassadors is raising money for their programs while raising the awareness of consumers regarding Conscious Consumerism. Both organizations know that until consumers Buy Green, our society won’t Be Green.

The myGreenSpark Redemption Book sells for $30 and is shipped directly to supporters in an eco-friendly envelope. Schools, Clubs, Churches, Temples and Organizations like Green Ambassadors that sell the book for a fundraiser receive $15 per book sold. On top of this, Fundraising Green donates another 10% of their Los Angeles-based revenue to Green Ambassadors to not only help the organization pursue its goals, but to prove to the business community that a for-profit company can run on a sustainable business model that includes donating a significant portion of their revenue to a good cause.

About the book: Printed on recycled paper using soy inks, it contains over 250 Green, Healthy and Ethical coupons from 150 great companies, good for all of 2008. Offers cover local services, shops and restaurants that reside in the Greener parts of LA and OC. Other offers feature 125 Green coupons from 70 online retailers. Use the internet to “Green” your life! From Organic to Fair Trade for people and pets, to Sustainable Design, Outdoor Activities and Eco-Tourism, use the book and become a Green Consumer today! Help in the effort to create Healthy Kids, Healthy Homes and a Healthy Planet.

The ecoScholarship Fund: It's Our First Big Eco-friendly Fundraiser

Our first big promotion is starting. One of our non-profit partners, Long Beach CA based Environmental Consumer Organization, or ECO for short, funds and administers a brand new scholarship fund - the ecoScholarship Fund. ECO's target of raising $100,000 dollars by June of 2008 will be attained by using our eco-friendly, zero-administration fundriaser - the myGreenspark Redemption Book Fundraiser. You can go to the myGreenSpark.com website right now to purchase the first ever green coupon book for Southern California and you'll be supporting a great cause.

Use this link to support the ecoScholarship Fund and then spread the word about it: http://www.mygreenspark.com/ECO

The ecoScholarship fund will be used to help High School seniors and undergrad College students who aspire to an Environmental career, get off to a good start. The first recipients of the scholarship will be from the Southern California area. Applications will be accepted starting in January until May of 2008. The first ecoScholarships will be given out in June of 2008.

From the ECO website: http://www.ecoscholarship.com/

ECO will be opening its scholarship application process in January, and soon to follow, they will be kicking off their "Green Teens" ecoScholarship contest. Teens and adults can play in an effort to raise the first $100,000 for the ecoScholarship Fund. Participants will promote the myGreenSpark fundraiser to family and friends while taking educational quizzes to earn points while learning about ways they can help the environment through their consumer habits. Participants that sell a lot of books and do good on the quizzes will have more chance to win prizes like an ecoScholarship, a new bike, the iPod Touch(TM) or extreme sports and camping equipment. And if ECO hits its goal of raising $100,000 for the fund by June of 2008, the top participant will win a Grand Prize of $10,000 to use for anything they want - hopefully to Go Green!

The Environmental Consumer Organization dedicated to creating Green Consumers through education and marketing. By providing resources for "Going Green" to consumers through special membership-based product discounts on Green and Healthy products and services that people need to start using to actually go green, ECO will create Green and Ethical Consumers in a fun and interesting way. We know that until a major shift towards "Green" happens at the consumers level, companies will keep doing what they do - market conspicuous consumption to the masses to increase their bottom line.

The ecoScholarship Fund is where most of the money goes that we collect from supporters. Our goal is to provide $100,000 in scholarships in 2008 and $1,000,000 by 2010! Besides creating Green Consumers to help in the fight for environment today, we are also heavily investing in our future by offering students an incentive to get on the path to a "Green" career.
