Cleveland is home to Custom Fundraising Solutions – Cleveland, which was born 8 years ago from one crazy idea and a desire to change the landscape of fundraising, as we know it. CEO, Joe Matejka combined years of success in the furniture business with an early career in fundraising, where he became an expert in peddling popcorn, wrapping paper and even selling sunscreen to the 3rdcloudiest city in the nation. From that, he created, “The Mattress Fundraiser.” This out-of-the box idea spread like wildfire, and locations now span the country at nearly 50 strong, and have raised almost $3 million dollars for kids last year.
That is a feat in itself, but Cleveland recently hit a major milestone! Just last week, they crested $1 MILLION dollars donated to kids all over northeast Ohio, in just a little over 5 years. As a company, Custom Fundraising Solutions has a many goals: some of which are to grow to 100 locations nationwide, each location donating $100,000 annually, for a company grand total of $10 million dollars per year being given back to groups. We are very excited as we grow closer to that goal and thank all the sponsors that have believed in us to help us grow, and to know that we are helping kids every step of the way.
