Fundraising
... that Catholic's WELCOME!
Comments from parishes...
“I was thrilled by the reaction of the parish and am so glad your ministry exists to help bring Catholic art to our homes! Our parish community will benefit greatly from the beautiful art you provided! Thank you so much for your financial support of our group."
WORLD YOUTH DAY FUNDRAISER, ST. ALBERT, AB
"The artwork was truly inspirational. Many people commented on the high quality of the displayed pieces, and I was entranced by the beauty and Catholicity of the art. The $2,300 we raised towards our cause was truly a remarkable sum."
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS FUNDRAISER, CALGARY, AB
HOW PARISH FUNDRAISERS WORK
Holy Inspiration will travel* to your parish and set up a beautiful display of framed Catholic art and canvas prints, fine art plaques, indoor and outdoor statues, and related books. Held over one weekend after each of the Masses, this risk-free fundraiser is easy to host, making it ideal for busy Catholic Women's League & Knights of Columbus ministries! Also perfect for Youth Ministries!
With 20% of everything sold going towards your fundraising effort, parish ministry earnings have ranged from $800 to $2400 in one weekend! And your community, and others, will reap the benefits that religious art brings to our homes.
Small fine art plaques displayed on wood easels start at $25/set, with large custom framed art and canvas pieces priced at $200+. Many of our best selling finely detailed statues range in price from $35 to $60, with a large selection of custom framed art prints available at $75 to $125. So there's plenty for parishioners to choose from, whether they're looking for a smaller gift-giving item or a large family heirloom piece.
Customers consistently tell us they are thrilled to have the opportunity to see and purchase quality Catholic art and statues which they cannot readily find elsewhere, and appreciate our reasonable prices.
* Please note that travel is dependent on parish size, within 400 km of Calgary. If you are a smaller or rural parish, we'd be happy to customize a fundraiser especially for you!
To promote your fundraiser, we provide...
- a few of our most popular art pieces to display in your parish 2 - 3 weeks prior to your sale
- promotional posters
- a suggested Mass and bulletin announcement
On the fundraising weekend...
- we travel to your parish and set up a large selection of beautiful art pieces, statues & related items
- to make the artwork as meaningful as possible, explanations of symbolism, theology, devotion or artist is also displayed
- during the sale, we work alongside your ministry or group as you write-up receipts and package art
- we process the sales transactions (cash, cheque, Visa & MasterCard accepted), so there is no money for you to collect or reconcile!
- risk-free - we simply take back any unsold items at the end of the weekend
- we honour and directly handle any exchanges or refunds
Your participation - Other than promotion (which is important!) all that's required are volunteers on the weekend of the sale; 2 to 4 volunteers are needed after each Mass, plus 3 or 4 people to help with display set-up and pack-up.FUNDRAISERS FOR CATHOLIC ORGANIZATIONS
