Why raise funds with The Bag Idea?
Raising money and awareness one good cause at a time.
Each year over 100 billion plastic grocery bags are consumed in the US. Our company mission is to create a movement that will eliminate the need for 1 billion of these bags while raising over $13,500,000 for youth groups around the country!
Working with groups like yours as our distribution network, our idea is to put into circulation over 10 million of our 100 use shopping bags by 2012. We are well on our way but we need your help to get there.
Your group can help this larger cause and raise thousands of dollars in the process. With no money down, you will be able to eliminate the need for 400,000 plastic shopping bags and generate over $5000 for your organization - all within the next 30 days!

Our Story
From high school homework assignment to thriving business in just over a year.
The original Bag Idea was hatched in the spring of 2008 during a father daughter homework session for an AP Environmental Studies course in Charlotte, NC. The assignment: "Come up with a way that to raise awareness for an important environmental issue that affects everyone on the planet." We chose the issue of disposable plastic bags and with that, The Bag Idea was born.
Fast forward to the summer of 2009 and what began on the dining room table had become a multinational business with offices in Raleigh, NC and Wuhan, China. Today we are a truly green company focused on making the biggest positive impact we can on the environment as well as the lives of our customers and employees. With good old American ingenuity and a burning desire to get an "A", we have created a company that we are very proud of.
