FUNDRAISING INFO
Welcome to Blue Barn Fundraising! Our mission is simple. To pump over $1,000,000 into Indiana communities by 2030. Big goal? Perhaps. Worthwhile? No Doubt. Possible? Let's get to work and find out...
So how does it work? (GET STARTED HERE!)
Simple. We partner with local schools, preschools, community organizations and not-for-profits by creating packages of reasonably prices locally-sourced grocery and produce packages and give a HUGE chunk of the proceeds back to the organization. That's it. Win+win - organizations get funds, local farmers and artisans get a broader market for their offerings, and we get to be a small part in the BIG THING that is a strong, thriving community.
Want to host an event? We will provide paper packets and a special web portal for your participants to collect orders. Typical events run about 2 weeks, then figure 3-4 weeks to get the items delivered to your school. Once the funds are collected and the fundraiser is over, we send a big check to your organization. Easy peasy! (GET STARTED HERE!) or EMAIL Chris@BlueBarnBerryFarm.com to get more information or to schedule an event.
TOP FIVE REASONS TO HOST A BLUE BARN FUNDRAISER:
#1. More Sales = More Funds Raised - Because our items are things people actually want and use; delicious, reasonably-priced food and grocery, per-participant orders tend to be MUCH HIGHER than typical school fundraisers. In our pilot program in 2020, we averaged $140 sales per participant!
#2. Ease - We'll take care of everything. We provide easy order forms and a simple designed weblink for online orders. We bring the items to your organization after the sales conclude. We even offer a shipping option for out-of-town customers and local delivery option for people located in local zip codes.
#3. Yummy! - Blue Barn Fresh served more than 2,000 customers in 2020 with a flawless 5.0 rating. Fundraisers are even better with GREAT products and items!
#4. Support - We are in this together :) We provide social media and email templates, videos, and plenty of collateral to help you market and grow your fundraiser without much effort!
#5. Shop Local - We are located in Syracuse, Indiana, right across from Dewart Lake. Many of the products come from our own store and farm. Others are from local farm partners and small businesses and artisans. Not only do your purchases raise funds for your organization, your purchases are also supporting small businesses throughout the community.
