Scratchcard Fundraisers

Scratchcards are an unusual school fundraiser that can earn your school group up to 90% profit. A scratchcard is a small tri-fold booklet that contains a card of silver colored "scratch-off" circles.

Supporters are invited to "scratch" off one or more of the circles on the card to reveal how much they will be asked to donate. In return each person gets a sheet of coupons.

One of the advantages of scratchcards is that they can be completed in a very short time frame. Most participants can return a completed card to their organization in about a week.

Another advantage of scratchcards is that up to 90% of the money brought in is pure profit. This has several advantages. First, those who donate to your cause can feel confident knowing that almost all of the money they give goes directly to help your cause. It shows that you appreciate their support and respect their decision to donate. Also since there is very little overhead, a portion of the funds available could be used to provide prizes.

Scratchcards Make It Easy

So how do participants approach others to ask for donations using the scratchcards? It's really pretty easy, just be polite and courteous. Always identify yourself and which group you are with. People will find it to be a nice surprise to hear that they don't have to buy anything to support your group! Make sure people know that they'll get a free coupon sheet worth $75 for each circle they scratch-off.

Scratchcards make it easy to ask people to donate to your school related group. First, depending on the style of card you choose the highest donation amount is either $2.50 or $5. Either way this is a very small amount to request. It is easy to ask someone to donate something that amounts to pocket change.

Custom Scratchcards

The newest scratchcards are personalized with your group's photo right on the front of the card. These cards have 30 dots, with amounts ranging from $1 to $5. Each card booklet comes with a stack of coupons worth up to $75 in savings at major retailer. Each person who makes a donation, no matter what amount, gets a free coupon sheet.

Each card raises up to $100 in total contributions. The cards are quite inexpensive so your group makes up to 90% profit on this fundraiser.

Original Scratchcards

The original scratchcards offer lower dollar amounts beneath the circles which might be easier for your group members to ask people. Amounts range from zero to $2.50. Since the amounts are lower, there are 60 circles instead of 30.

Your group name will be printed on the front of the book. There are many stock photo designs for you to choose from too. These cards also offer up to 90% profit for your group.
