Fund Raising

Fundraising? Let us help!

As active members of local communities throughout the U.S., we are well aware of the challenges facing not-for-profit groups and their ongoing struggle to raise much-needed funds. In the face of disasters like the 2004 tsunami, the 2005 hurricanes that devastated the Gulf Coast, the fires that ravaged both the California coast and the Midwest, and a myriad of other natural disasters. It is increasingly more difficult for local not-for-profit groups and/or school groups and organizations to depending on being able to raise money locally, with so much funding headed out-of-town or out-of-state to other regions. We want to help!

We are makers of fun, eclectic, affordable jewelry – including earrings, bracelets, necklaces and our signature line of keepsake Mom’s bracelets and Mom’s birthstone bracelets. Our jewelry has been featured in magazines like People, US Weekly and In Touch, and also in films and worn by TV celebrities. Last year, we even created a “tween” line specifically for Hilary Duff for use in her movie Find Your Voice. Our prices are affordable – there’s literally something for every taste and, more importantly, for every pocketbook -- and our jewelry is spectacular. Whether your personal taste lies in semi-precious gemstones, sterling silver, funky leather necklaces or pearls, we’ve literally got something for everyone.

There’s no better time to consider hosting an It’s Clementine, Darling™ jewelry fundraising party for you and your group or organization. We’re so committed to our fundraising efforts that we rebate 20% of all party sales for fundraising efforts back to the group hosting the event.* To give you an idea of our dedication to fundraising and our long line of successes in that regard, consider this:

• We helped the Arthritis Foundation raise over $1,000 in the course of a 3-hour jewelry party. We now do this event for them on an annual basis.
• We assisted an outreach group dealing with families of terminally ill cancer patients and helped them raise over $1000.
• We worked with a parents group at a private school and helped them raise over $2000 during the course of three separate annual fundraisers
• We helped a Hospice organization raise over $1,500
• We worked with 5th grade class in Westchester County, NY, desperate to raise $600, to cover the cost of producing their annual yearbook. We not only raised the $600 they needed, but an additional $200 to boot, giving them a surplus!
• We helped an elementary school in Mt. Kisco, NY raise over $1,100 to help supplement their annual budget.
• We helped a private nursery school/daycare center in the Northeast raise money to help augment their limited annual budget.

And there are many, many other similar “success stories.” We make it easy – which is the whole point. All we want to do is all we can to help you in your efforts. Whether the party is held at an office, at someone’s home, at a local community center – or wherever, all you need to do is spread the word (we even supply the invitations) and get people to stop by. We can even help find a venue, if that’s needed. We handle all the set up, from soup to nuts, and at the end of the party, you’ve earned 20%* of the total sales as a donation to your not-for-profit organization. We find that our “average” fundraiser has sales of a minimum of $3,500-$4,000, so you’re looking at being able to potentially raise a quick $700-$800 in the course of a 3-hour party. And its not unusual for groups to raise even more in the course of a single evening. Not bad!

So … what are you waiting for? Let’s get going and help you and your group or organization raise some money without tons of red tape and superhuman effort. Email us with your contact information and we’ll be in touch and get you on your way ….. info@itsclementinedarling.com

*20% rebate is specific to fundraising events arranged through the It’s Clementine, Darling TM corporate headquarters. If you work with individual sales directors and not through corporate, the percentage rebated may vary.
