IMPORTANT INFORMATION: It’s very important that you include your Group ID and Location ID on the printed forms you distribute and the funds you submit. This is the only way your group will receive proper credit!
FUNDRAISING TOOLS: Various tools are available to help you in your fundraising efforts.
Regarding the donations you receive by mail, please remember the following:
IMPORTANT ADMINISTRATIVE NOTES: Fundraising Share Program: If you opted to receive $5 back of every $15 wreath sponsorship sold under your Group ID, we will send checks within 30 days after we receive your wreath sponsorships. Group payback checks need to be cashed within 90 days of issuance or they will be considered a donation to Wreaths Across America. Notify Your Location Coordinator: Because we do not share group leader contact information, please contact your coordinator as soon as possible to let them know you are gathering sponsorships.
Please note: The wreaths that are delivered to the location for placement will not be marked for specific groups. This allows any volunteer to place wreaths on any site. If your group wishes to make special arrangements for placing wreaths at specific graves, please contact your coordinator prior to the ceremony.
ONLINE FUNDRAISING PAGE INFORMATION/INSTRUCTIONS: Since this online sponsorship system represents a fundamental upgrade of our systems, from our back office to our websites, we expect to encounter a few hiccups. The implementation of the fundraising webpage means a great deal for Wreaths Across America and will allow us to expand our mission to “Remember, Honor, and Teach.” Please report any issues you experience as we continue with planned upgrades that are critical to our growth. From basic features such as “live” wreath counts to a new mobile app for collecting donations, we have a bold vision for the future. Please send an email to helpdesk@wreathsacrossamerica.org to ask questions and provide feedback. To familiarize yourself with the new system, we recommend you take the following steps:
