Churches & ministries · A church fundraiser alternative
Ongoing revenue for churches and ministries
Members already buy laundry and dish soap every month. With Impact Green, they buy Nellie's from your church's page, and your church or ministry earns a 20% commission (before tax) on every order and reorder. A better alternative to one-time fundraisers.
No cost to join. Nothing to sell, store or collect.
Why it works
Why it works for churches

Not another one-time fundraiser
A better alternative to one-time church fundraisers
| The usual fundraiser | Impact Green | |
|---|---|---|
| Effort | A bake sale or bazaar to plan and staff every time | Share once in the bulletin, then before trips and events |
| Products | Baked goods and crafts people buy once | Everyday laundry and dish products members already use |
| Volunteer work | Volunteers bake, staff tables and count cash | Members order online and pick up at church |
| Earnings | Money stops when the sale ends | Reorders keep supporting ministries all year |

Timing
When to share your church's page
Fall kickoff
Share your page when ministries start back up in the fall.
Before camps and mission trips
A bulletin note ahead of trips gives families an easy way to help.
Bazaars and fellowship events
Put your page link on the welcome table or in the event program.
Every promotion adds up
Take your page to local markets and events
Every time your church shares its page, you add to your revenue stream. A table at a fall bazaar, a community supper or a Saturday market lets neighbors support your ministries with products they already buy.
Bring a sign or flyer with your page's QR code. There's nothing to sell or collect at the table, because supporters order and pay online. Check each event's rules for community or nonprofit tables.
- Bazaars and fellowship events
- Community suppers and festivals
- Craft fairs and holiday markets
- Saturday and farmers markets
- Dockside and harbor markets

Quick answers
Common questions
Can we earn for a specific ministry, like a mission trip?
Yes. A ministry can have its own page, and your group decides how to use its commission checks.
When should we share our page?
Many churches share it at fall kickoff and again before camps or mission trips. Members can order any time.
Can friends and neighbors order too?
Yes. Anyone can order from your church's page and pick up at your pickup location, and every order earns your church the commission.
Where do members pick up?
At church, during the pickup window you set, such as before or after Sunday services. Members get an email when their order is ready, and a text too if they sign up for text updates.
Are purchases donations?
No. Supporters are buying products, not making a charitable donation, so purchases are generally not tax-deductible. Impact Green is a business, and your group earns a disclosed commission.
Will this take away from tithes and offerings?
It shouldn't. Members buy laundry and dish products they already need, so an order replaces a regular household purchase rather than coming out of what they give. Your page adds support alongside tithes, offerings and other ministry fundraisers.
