1. Supports our local economy at a time we need it most. 

2. Risk Free. No money up front.  Your group sells as many Ib.l.a.s.t. cards as they can and then returns the unsold cards to us.  The more cards your group sells, the more you earn. Each 2010 card is sold for $30 including sales tax and includes a card/key tag combination.
 

3. Your earning potential:  Your group earns $5 for all online sales, $7 per card for selling 1-49 cards, $10 per card for selling between 50-99 cards and $12 per card for 100 or more cards. If we run the fundraiser for you, you earn 15% of the proceeds.

4. Increase your earning potential
  • Sign up merchants.  For every new merchant you sign up, your group earns $10.  Often your group has connections in the local business community.  Merchants pay nothing to join our network.
  • Refer another organization to fundraise and combine your sales to earn a greater profit.
  • Pre-purchase card and earn more per card.  Cards that are pre-purchased are more likely to be sold.  Have members buy the cards upfront and then recoup their money from sales.

5. Online Sales! If you?d like to do an online fundraiser, just let us know.  Anyone who wants to support your group can buy the card on www.iblastcard.com.  If they indicate that they?d like their purchase to be credited to your organization at the time of the purchase, your group earns a portion of the proceeds.  The best way to boost these sales is to connect our purchase page to your website or email newsletter.  If you need help with that, just ask.

6. Can it get any easier?  No bulk items to lug around and who could say no to supporting a nonprofit by buying a card worth more than it costs?  Go ahead, make it even easier by doing an online fundraiser. 

7. Open to all groups, large or small. 
 This fundraiser works whether you're only a few people trying to raise money or a large crowd.
