With no up-front costs, organizations can easily raise needed funds to meet their goals. A Self-help Assistance Program (ASAP), a Peachtree City based International non profit organization that works in Africa, now offers church groups, schools and civic organizations an exciting new and valuable fund raising service through coffee.

ASAP president Tom Arsenault describes the new program as “Coffee as fuel for Development.” On Safari Coffee Initiative, (previously On Safari Trading Co.) is now an income generating project of ASAP. “Our primary focus is helping other non-profits conduct successful fund raising campaigns, as we work to fund our own operating costs,” said Arsenault.

There will be a fund raising open house, featuring coffee roasting demonstrations and sample tasting, at the On Safari Roastery on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. Everyone is welcome especially church or school groups interested in easy and profitable fund raising.

The organization selling the coffee earns $5 profit on each bag of coffee sold. Once the group sells 200 bags of coffee, their customers can re-order on the On Safari website and $1 for every bag sold online will go to the organization for an entire year. This keeps the funds coming in for the organization for a full year with no extra effort beyond the original campaign. To date, CIVS, Civitan, YMCA Cape Anne, have already reached Hall of Fame status.

The address is 189 Fulton Ct., Peachtree City, Ga. For more information contact On Safari at 770-632-7357 or 770-632-7451 or email mary@onsafaritrading.com.
