The odds are good that if you need to hold a fundraiser you want to make the most money possible. That can be accomplished one of two ways. You could, sell a lot to make a lot; or you could choose one of the higher profit fundraisers that produce the largest profit from each dollar of fundraising sale.

Fundraising discount cards are the highest profit fundraising idea. Easy Fundraising Ideas offers programs geared both to smaller groups and individuals, they also offer other programs that are better suited for medium to large groups.

Discount cards typically provide special offers and discounts to the purchaser of the cards. The cards might be valid at a single local merchant, or may contain nearly a dozen different local merchants including restaurants, entertainment venues and other retailers.

Here is an overview of some of the most popular discount card programs:

• Buy One Get One Free Pizza Cards: Holders of these cards get a free medium pizza when they purchase a large pizza at regular menu prices. Local pizzerias love to participate in this program because it shows community involvement, and drives loyal traffic to their store. The cards sell for $10, and are printed with the local store's name and address on the front. The minimum order is only 25 cards and shipping is free.
• Sandwich Shop Cards: These cards are very similar to the buy one get one free pizza cards only they are geared towards sandwich shops.

Each merchant will offer discounts or specials available to card holders.
