Interesting Fund Raising Idea

I read a blog this morning about an interesting fundraising strategy being used in a coffee shop in Melbourne, Australia. I haven’t been able to find the shop that is doing this, but here’s the blog. The coffee shop gives patrons a card to let them know when their orders are ready. When the patron returns, the shop has a variety of trays where patrons can return the card. Each tray lists a non-profit or effort that the coffee shop supports. The patron returns the card to one of the trays when they pick up their order and the coffee shop donates the proceeds from that order to the indicated non-profit.

Take a look at the blog if you get a chance. Seems a pretty clever idea.
