Church Calendar Fundraiser

A church calendar fundraiser invites the congregation to claim calendar dates and give the amount that matches each day ($1–$31). It's a simple, dignified way to fund mission trips, youth programs, and building projects — a fully claimed 31-day calendar raises $496, and the church keeps 100% of calendar donations.

Frequently asked questions

How does a church calendar fundraiser work?

Each day of the month is worth its date in dollars. Members pick an open day and give that amount online — the 1st is $1, the 31st is $31. A fully claimed calendar raises $496, and it works for missions, youth trips, or a building fund.

How much can a church raise?

With 40 participating members you can raise up to about $19,840, or roughly $14,880 at a 75% fill rate. It grows with participation — estimate yours with the calculator.

Can far-away family and former members give?

Yes — that's a big advantage of going digital. Anyone with the link can give from their phone, so alumni and distant family can support a mission trip or youth program a paper calendar could never reach.
