CHARITIES TURN TO INNOVATIVE
NEW FUND-RAISING OPPORTUNITY
Scottsdale, Arizona. For most charities,
fund raising is the biggest challenge they face
in their quest to help others in need. It can
be an extremely costly effort. Now, thanks to
an innovative new program offered by Jewels
4 Charity, qualified charities can raise those
much-needed funds with minimal effort. When supporters
purchase fine jewelry through the Jewels 4
Charity website or catalog, 20% of the purchase
price is sent directly to their selected charity.
The purchaser also saves 10% to 40% off jewelry
and department store nationally advertised "on
sale" prices. By combining Internet and Direct
Mail shopping with charitable donations, the Jewels
4 Charity program creates a win-win opportunity
of the highest order.
The process is simple. Shoppers
visit the Jewels 4 Charity website or call
their Toll Free Number and make a purchase from
the wide selection of quality 14 or 18 karat gold,
diamond, and gemstone jewelry, all of which comes
with a money-back guarantee, a warranty and a
certificate of authenticity. Prices are 10% to
40% below the "on sale" prices advertised nationally
by jewelry and department stores. And there is
that added benefit of supporting a worthy cause.
To complete the check out process, buyers must
designate a charity to receive 20% of the purchase
price. Once the sale is complete, that 20% is
sent directly to the charity. If the supporter
prefers to request a direct donation without making
a purchase, Jewels 4 Charity will make
the donation in their name and send acknowledgement
cards with no processing costs to either the charity
or the purchaser.
To be eligible to receive funds
from Jewels 4 Charity, charities must be
a 501(c)(3) organization in good standing, verify
judicious use of funds and complete the Jewels
4 Charity Application Form. Once accepted
for participation, the charity's information is
added to the Jewels 4 Charity web site
and a link is added to the charity's web site.
Smaller charities are encouraged to announce the
program to members, existing mailing lists, friends,
and families. Charities with 1000 or more members
receive personalized catalogs that introduce the
program and show a representative selection of
the jewelry available. A distribution as simple
as inclusion in an existing newsletter, for example,
can raise significant funds without the need for
additional expense to the charity.
After retiring from a successful
30-year career in jewelry marketing and merchandising,
Jewels 4 Charity Director Pat Scheckner
focused on a higher purpose for her talents and
skills. As she says, "I wanted to use my resources
to help and support organizations that reach out
to others. Jewels 4 Charity is my way of
giving back some of the generosity and sharing
that helped make me successful in my career."
