Olivewood Imports - Fundraising Ideas

Let us breath new life into your fundraiser event.

While visiting Bethlehem we fell in love with the locally hand-crafted olivewood carvings. Olive trees in Bethlehem are believed to be holy, sometimes refered to as the "Tree of Life". Its from the pruning of these trees that the hand-crafted items are made by local artisans.

In the past, tourism in Bethlehem had been a large part of the economy. Because of Bethlehem's recent political and religious turmoil, it has signifigantly declined. With tourism being such a integral part of the local economy, many are now finding it hard to provide for themselves and their families.

We are honored to support the Bethlehem artisans by partnering to sell these beautiful handcrafted olivewood art, which has provided inspiration to Christians for many years. It's with great pleasure that we bring these magnificant olive-wood works of art here. We're certain they will find a place in your heart as they have in ours.

We are happy to help you with an olivewood fundraiser. We can help you meet your financial goals for your church or organization and help support the Christian Artisans in Bethlehem as well. This has proven to be a successful fundraiser for many many churches and organizations. All you need to do is pick a date and provide a table. We will donate a percentage of all sales.

Raising funds is as easy as 1-2-3. (please provide the following)

1. Space to setup the sales booth
2. Tables
3. Advertise (posters, flyers, church bulletins etc.)

We handle all the setup and tear down involving the product and we staff the sales booth. Please call us with additional questions regarding the process or a list of references.

“Olivewood Fundraisers have been one of the nicest and easiest groups to work with … Besides that, it’s good to know that a fundraiser can help struggling Christians in the Holy Land!” --Sr. Margaret McHugh New Ulm Diocese Director of Youth Ministry

“Olivewood products are so beautiful that they sell themselves. All you have to do is provide a table for John and Ann to set up their display. What a wonderful way to help the Christian Artisans in Bethlehem while benefiting our school with some extra money at the same time!”

--C. Heiderscheidt St. Mary Church/School Sleepy Eye, MN

"Olivewood Imports have been a favorite vendor at the Sonshine Music Festival. Their products are unique and meaningful. We get inquiries for Olivewood Imports products throughout the year."

Bob Poe - Sunshine Festival
