Donor Brick Program

Personalized engraved bricks are a very popular, and high yielding fundraising product. Easy to manage, fundraising directors do not have to be experts in construction, bricks, tiles or engraving to run a successful campaign.  Directors should have plenty of time to do what they do best, promote and collect donations.

There are different ways to approach your brick design. Some go with a simple walkway all in red brick. Others will include patterns of differently colored brick in a field of red brick, diamonds, chevrons (pattern of 4 brick), and other additions like granite plaques can be strategically placed in the design. The advantage is that every variation provides for different pricing to the donor. For example, the standard background red brick may sell for $100, a brick in the diamond pattern $200, a complete chevron $500, etc.

Engraving costs are $12 for up to two lines, and $16 for three. There is a maximum of 15 characters per line. Granite engraving fees will be estimated at start-up.

Your cost to purchase the brick can be from 45 cents to $2 each. As you can see there is a significant profit in each engraved brick to the organization. Many organizations find volunteers to lay the brick, but a rule of thumb for an installer is about $1.25 per brick. Not all brick have to be engraved before being laid, an ongoing replacement program works well.
