1 - Why
a brick fundraiser? Engraved
brick pavers provide permanent individual donor recognition
that will be personally viewed by hundreds of visitors over the
years. Brick walkways will greatly enhance the appearance of
your property.
2 - We
already have concrete sidewalks. How can we participate? Unattractive
concrete sidewalks can be easily removed at a very reasonable
cost. They can be replaced with beautiful classic clay brick
walkways.
3 - How
can our small church membership sell all those bricks? We
anticipate that 85% of your sales will be on the internet. AHF
will advertise for you on our web site. The link of your parish
web site to ours will be your connection for your donation orders
online.
4 - How
long should we run our fundraiser? We
recommend running your fundraiser indefinitely. Sales actually
increase after the initial installation of the brick walkway.
5 - Do we have to sell
all the bricks before we can start construction of the walkway? No, you decide when
you want to start construction of the walkways. Most churches
make the initial installation as soon as it is economically feasible.
Blank bricks are placed in the initial installation and eventually
replaced with the engraved brick as they are purchased.
6 - Should
we establish inscription standards? Inscription standards
are highly recommended, AHF has suggested standards that you
may use.

7 - How
long does it take to get started? AHF can get your fundraiser up and running
on the internet in 3 - 5 business days.
8 - Who
installs the bricks? Guidelines
can be provided for those churches who have members that have
experience with brick installations. Your organization may also
elect to hire a landscape contractor to do the work.
9 - What are other alternatives
to a brick walkway? Engraved bricks can be used in a
variety of environments, including: gardens, patios, ponds,
walkway border trim, and walls. AHF will be happy to suggest
an environment suitable for your project.
10 - Is there an engraved
brick warranty? Yes, the engraving has a lifetime warranty
by Gift Bricks®.
11 - How
will the funds be distributed? Participating
churches will receive a detailed monthly statement and check
for the proceeds from AHF.
12 - What
are the steps to get started? AHF has laid the ground
work for marketing, sales, and installation.
