Is CareChristmas a good fit for Your Group?

CareChristmas is a great fit for youth groups, church ministries, schools, teams, and community groups who are willing to actively promote the fundraiser and follow through with local order distribution.

Participating groups should be ready to:

  • Commit to a minimum of 25 orders

  • Share the fundraiser with their church, families, friends, and local community

  • Pick up their fundraising kit in September, and use the promotional materials provided

  • Pick up completed orders in Winnipeg between November 23 and 27

  • Distribute labeled orders to their supporters

  • Communicate clearly with their group and customers

We’ll provide the tools. You bring the people, the promotion, and the follow through.

Helping Supporters Order

Some supporters may want to purchase Christmas cards but feel unsure about the online ordering process. Participating groups are encouraged to provide simple, friendly support for those who need help.

This could include hosting a table in your church or school foyer during the ordering window, inviting people to bring their digital photo and credit card, and having qualified youth or volunteers help them place their order online.

Ready to get involved?

CareChristmas is limited to 12 participating groups for this pilot season so we can provide a strong, organized experience from start to finish.

Applications will be reviewed based on group readiness, fundraising goals, local distribution capacity, and commitment to actively promoting the fundraiser.

Submitting an application does not guarantee a spot, but it helps us understand whether this opportunity is a strong fit for your group.

Apply by June 30 to be considered for one of 12 pilot spots. Bring your plan, your people, and your Christmas spirit.

FAQs

(Frequently Asked Questions)

  • CareChristmas is a custom Christmas card fundraiser for youth groups, church ministries, schools, teams, and community groups. Supporters order personalized photo Christmas cards online, and participating groups earn a percentage of every sale.

  • CareChristmas is open to local Southern Manitoba groups who have a Manitoba charitable status are ready to actively promote the fundraiser, communicate clearly with their supporters, and distribute completed orders after pickup.

  • CareChristmas is limited to 12 participating groups for this pilot season. This helps us provide a strong, organized experience for each group and make sure the fundraiser runs well from start to finish.

  • Because this is our pilot season, we are keeping participation intentionally limited. We want to support each group well, manage production carefully, and make sure the experience is smooth for both fundraisers and customers.

  • Groups will be selected based on readiness, fundraising goals, local distribution capacity, and commitment to actively promoting the fundraiser. We are looking for groups who are serious about doing this well and able to aim for a minimum of 25 orders.

  • Each group should be prepared to aim for a minimum of 25 orders. This helps ensure the fundraiser is worthwhile for your group and sustainable for the CareChristmas pilot.

  • Participating groups earn 15% of every order connected to their group. Groups that reach $5,000 or more in total sales earn 20%.

  • Customers order online during the CareChristmas ordering window. They will select a Christmas card design, upload their photo, personalize their order, and pay online.

  • No. Customers order and pay online, so your group does not need to collect payments, track cash, or manage individual card orders. Hallelujah and amen.

  • No. CareCreatives (by CareImpact) provides the Christmas card templates. Customers choose their design and personalize their own cards online.

  • Your group is responsible for promoting the fundraiser, encouraging supporters to order, picking up completed orders in Winnipeg, and distributing them to your customers.

  • CareImpact provides the fundraising kit, promotional materials, online ordering process, card production, order labeling, and fundraiser payout.

  • The online ordering window runs from October 5 to November 15.

  • Participating groups will receive their fundraising kit and promotional materials in September so they can prepare before the ordering window opens.

  • Completed card orders will be ready for pickup in Winnipeg between November 23 and November 27.

  • That’s okay, and we expect this will be true for many people. Some supporters may love the idea of custom Christmas cards but feel unsure about uploading photos, choosing a design, or placing an online order.

    Participating groups will be equipped with simple tools, including a teaching video and promotional materials, to help supporters through the ordering process.

    One great option is to host a CareChristmas help table in your church foyer during the ordering window. Youth, leaders, or tech-comfortable volunteers can help people place their orders online after the service.

  • Yes. We strongly encourage participating groups to think about how they can support less tech-confident customers.

    For example, your group could announce that anyone who wants help ordering cards can visit a table in the foyer on Sunday morning during the ordering period. Supporters can bring their digital photo, choose a card design, and have someone walk them through the online order process.

    This can be a great way for youth to serve the congregation while helping your fundraiser succeed.

  • Supporters should bring the photo they want to use on their Christmas card. A digital photo is best, either on a phone, tablet, USB drive, or accessible by email.

    If your group chooses to offer print photo scanning, make sure you have someone who understands how to scan photos at the highest possible resolution so the finished cards print clearly. Print scanning is optional and should only be offered if your group is confident you can do it well.

  • Yes. Participating groups will receive resources to help them promote the fundraiser and support customers through the ordering process, including a teaching video and promotional materials.

    Your group does not need to be tech experts, but you should have a few people who are comfortable helping others use the online ordering system.

  • Orders will be available for pickup in Winnipeg. Exact pickup details will be provided to participating groups.

  • Yes. Orders will be labeled and organized by group to make pickup and distribution as smooth as possible.

  • Participating groups are responsible for distributing completed orders to their supporters after pickup.

  • For this pilot season, orders will be picked up by the participating group and distributed locally. Direct shipping is not currently part of the CareChristmas pilot.

  • Item description

  • The goal is for each group to aim for at least 25 orders. If you are unsure whether your group can reach that number, we encourage you to think through your promotion plan before applying.

  • Wonderful. We love a festive overachiever. Groups that reach $5,000 or more in total sales will earn 20% instead of 15%.

  • Yes, but because space is limited, we may recommend combining efforts under one group application if it makes the fundraiser stronger and easier to manage.

  • Fundraising payments will be sent to participating groups in December after orders are processed and totals are confirmed.

  • Groups can raise funds for youth retreats, camps, mission trips, leadership development, community projects, school initiatives, team expenses, or other meaningful group needs.

  • Not necessarily. A smaller group with a strong plan, engaged families, and clear communication can be a great fit. The key is whether your group can actively promote the fundraiser and aim for at least 25 orders.

  • Complete the CareChristmas application form. Applications will be reviewed based on readiness, fit, and capacity for this pilot season.

  • No. Because CareChristmas is limited to 12 groups, submitting an application does not guarantee participation. We will review applications and select groups that are best prepared for a successful pilot season.

  • If you have questions before applying, contact doralin@carecreatives.ca

  • Applications are open until June 30. Selected groups will be contacted in July so they have time to prepare before promotional materials are released in September and online ordering opens in October.
