Brick fundraising is an easy way to raise money for schools, hospitals, religious institutions, non-profits, government buildings, or any worthwhile project.
It’s easy to start a brick fundraising project –
First decide the price of a personalized brick. People will donate that amount to participate in a fundraising campaign that contributes to a meaningful cause and enables them to participate in a brick project that will last for years. Decades from now, their children or grandchildren can point to that brick and say “there’s my family brick, there’s my Grandfather or Grandmother”.
Participating in a brick fundraising project allows donors to participate in a cause bigger than themselves, and to permanently establish themselves as part of that group.
Many brick fundraising projects were started to raise funds, then the group found lasting intangible benefits from the enhanced commitment donors feel when they see a name on a brick fundraising project. Memorials leave a moving tribute to those whose names are inscribed.
As a high school principal pointed out regarding a 1992 brick fundraising wall, people lose their annuals but the wall is still there as a tangible reminder that they are part of the community and were part of the school.
Brick fundraising projects can go on almost anywhere – on inside or outside walls, sidewalks, entryways, corridors, foyers, fountains, plazas, or raised earth surfaces. They leave a moving, often functional memorial.
Since 1988, Brick Sculpture by Cannon (www.bricksculpture.com/ has helped many brick fundraising projects. Larry Cannon is a brick artist, who often engraves 6 foot brick sculptures as centerpieces for brick fundraising projects – providing moving public art that raises needed funds.
