By Terry H. Fuller


If groups are looking to raise money while also giving their friends and neighbors items that can generally be used around the house, there are plenty of options available. A well-organized bed sheet fundraiser will nearly always be well received. The cash can then be spent on necessities or educational trips for young students.

Men and women do not need to travel to far off locales in order to get the operation started. In fact, they might simply go door to door to gauge the interest of their neighbors. As long as they keep complete track of everything that they sell, they should be fine. Good records will allow the sheets to be delivered to the correct addresses as soon as they come in.

Individuals can ensure that things remain on the right track by keeping track of all the expenses. This generally means creating a spreadsheet where numbers can be entered throughout the project. These number can be double checked and used in report. Accurate financial data will also ensure that all buyers have paid on time.

A variety of sheet styles should obviously be offered. In fact, different colors will be wanted by different homeowners. Traditional bedrooms will usually look best with Earth tone colors, which might run the gamut from black to brown to green. Fiery colors, like orange and yellow, can be used to spice up rooms where teens will be spending most of their time.

Fundraisers should always offer several different sizes. King and queen beds, for example, will be a lot bigger than twin beds. The goal is to choose something that will be exactly the right size. In nearly all instances, the sets will include some lovely pillow cases that can be placed over the pillows at the head of the bed.

Once the sheets have been used for a certain number of days, they will of course need to be thoroughly washed. Hot water and lots of detergent will usually do the trick quite nicely. By reading the tag and following the instructions given by the manufacturer, the fabric will stay in shape for a long time.

In the end, people will want to embark on their fundraiser as soon as they have the chance. With a good action plan, individuals will do quite well for themselves. Their organization can use the money to advance their aims in the months and years further down the road.
