I got an email a couple weeks ago from the founder of a unique new fundraising opportunity. Well, it’s a unique spin on a deal you may already know about.

Many of you are probably familiar with the Restaurant.com deals where you buy a $20 gift certificate and it’s worth double or more at their list of restaurants.

CoupAide has partnered with Restaurant.com to provide a simple and efficient fundraising platform while giving your friends & family a way to save a ton on some of the best restaurants in their town.

If you’re an adopting family, CoupAide has a FANTASTIC giveaway going this week with over $600 in prizes (including cash for your adoption).

GO HERE to find out how to start a fundraiser and enter.

HOW IT WORKS:

• You start a fundraiser page – email all your friends and family the link.
• They pay $20 and get a $50 e-certificate that they can use on Restaurant.com (18,000 restaurants to choose from)
• You get $10 for every e-certificate sold.

Pretty stink in’ simple!

– Restaurant.com gift certificates are accepted by over 18,000 restaurants. Use it while you’re in or out of town.

Know those darling vintage photographs of children that you’ve seen? It’s a great fundraising opportunity for adoptive families IF you have a good support network to help you.

You’ll need friends and family to help you sell the $10 sittings (for which they receive a free 10×13) and you’ll need several volunteers on the day of photography to help with the location, signing in families, etc.

Several MOPS groups (Mothers of PreSchoolers) have done fundraisers through AS and made anywhere from $750-4,000.
