FUN, EFFECTIVE, HIGH-PROFIT FUNDRAISER PROGRAM
Holiday & Christmas Wreath Fundraising for Nonprofits
Seeking creative, successful fundraising ideas for your nonprofit organization? Each year, thousands of groups nationwide—including the Knights of Columbus, Elks Clubs, and Rotary Clubs—use Mickman’s Christmas Wreath fundraiser to finance their activities and initiatives.
With Mickman Brothers’ “Guaranteed to Succeed Fundraiser”, you get the power of two programs:
- Traditional Program:
Using the Traditional Fundraising Program, the nonprofit members and their families take orders from local friends and family members and then deliver the products to their customers.
- Online Program at www.GiftItForward.com:
With this Online Fundraising Program, nonprofit members and their parents can outreach nationally to their friends and relatives. These products are shipped directly to the gift recipients from Mickman Brothers.
You choose the best option for your organization and community, or use both! Our passionate team will be there to provide support and guidance at every step of your fundraising journey.
Choose one Fundraising Program – or both! Whatever suits the needs of your boy scouts, our professional Fundraising Coaches will be there every step of the way to help ‘Maximize your Profit while Minimizing your Effort!’
Tips & Ideas for a successful boy scouts Christmas Wreath Fundraiser
Assemble a Fundraising Team
Form a Fundraising Committee of motivated parents to work with you to drive the success of your fundraiser. ‘Many hands make light work’ – and with 3-4 other volunteer leaders, it’ll be easier to connect with your group families.
Establish a Fundraising Goal
How much money does your nonprofit need to earn? After you make this determination, consider setting small goals for each meeting and rewarding the efforts of these volunteers with a small prize. We find many youth groups like to do something inexpensive such as a candy bar.
A Helping Hand
Mickman Brothers’ professional Fundraising Coaches are here to help you through the fundraising process from start to finish! Your dedicated Fundraising Coach will be part of your fundraising team and available throughout the fundraising season to assist your nonprofit every step of the way.
Fundraising Tools
FREE sales brochures and social media tools are available to assist you and your nonprofit to maximize their efforts. Our full-color and high-quality sales brochures are excellent tools and we have a range of brochures available tailored to your fundraising needs. Our social media tools have been developed for easy use and are effective in promoting sales via our Online Fundraiser at www.GiftItForward.com.
No Risk
Payments to Mickman Brothers are not due until after your nonprofits’ fundraiser is complete. Earnings from your Online Fundraiser are processed after your fundraiser.
Reforestation Efforts
Our Million Tree Planting Project, initiated in 2007, has resulted in the planting of over 800,000 evergreen tree seedlings in 49 States.

Nonprofit Group Fundraising Success Story
“Our Organization, the Knights of Columbus Father McRedmond Council #3175, in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, is always looking for fun and enjoyable fundraisers in order to support the many various charities and events that we do each year. Last year, after looking and talking with many of the companies that have various Christmas wreath type fundraisers, we chose to go with Mickman Brothers because of their complete package gift program.
The Mickman staff was more than helpful with any questions, and they provided everything needed to run the program successfully. With their gift program, all the items were shipped directly to our customers or to the person they purchased an item for. The items were all delivered without error and were of excellent quality and value for the money. All our customers were extremely satisfied with their purchases.
This program ties in nicely with our National Keep Christ in Christmas program by sending Religious Christmas Cards. One table in the vestibule of the Church handled both programs nicely. We also did a program where our parishioners could buy a wreath for Our Church St. Mary’s in Memory or in Honor of Loved Ones, and we were able to beautifully decorate our Church for Christmas at no expense to the Church. We strongly recommend this fundraiser to all Knights of Columbus organizations throughout the country.”

Tips and Ideas for a Successful Nonprofit Fundraiser
Choose a Fundraiser with a Variety of Products
Need a creative fundraising idea for nonprofits? We have five different product lines, which means more choices for your customers. The fact that we offer more choices means you can reach a larger number of customers, thus increasing the amount of funds you can earn.
Use Safe and Reliable Packaging
It may not seem important, but packaging can help you sell a product again next year. You don’t want the packaging or how the items arrive to be hard for either your group or your customers. Our innovative cartons makes sure proucts arrive in pristine condition.
Utilize Nonprofit Fundraising Sales Aids
Does the company whose product you are selling offer any helpful brochures? These materials can be a great way to sell the items because they are professionally developed and allow you to showcase the product(s). Professional photos are essential when it comes to selling! At Mickman Brothers, we offer FREE sales aids as well as online tools to assist the fundraising leader in your Christmas fundraiser efforts.
Christmas is a Time of Giving
We know that Christmas is a time of giving and this is one of the many reasons why Christmas wreaths make the best fundraising items. Christmas décor is usually left up for anywhere from 3-10 weeks, thus making a Christmas wreath a good investment and easier to sell.
Conservation & Reforestation Efforts
When we harvest evergreen boughs, we select only the newest growths of each tree and carefully clip just the ends of the branches. This allows the branch to regenerate new growth from which we can harvest again in 4-5 years. These sustainable harvesting techniques ensure that the forests from which the boughs are harvested remain healthy for generations to come.
Years ago, we also recognized that these forests provided our company and customers with a valuable resource. In 2007, John and Chris Mickman made a commitment to fund the planting of an evergreen tree for each GiftItForward we sold. To date, Mickman Brothers has funded the planting of over 800,000 tree seedlings in 49 States.
When you choose Mickman Brothers for your Christmas wreath fundraiser, not only are you choosing a program that will “maximize your earnings while minimizing your effort”—you are also supporting a program to assist in reforesting our country!
