(Hint: the answer to this will never be "more pizza kits") Things I've seen: tons of creative sponsored events, "Skills Day", parties with a twist (like "bring your dog to a black-tie ball") Bottomline, though: it depends on your audience I think the way to start thinking up great ideas is to flip the process: think of something that your target audience is actually interested in and then find a way to raise funds from it.

You can inspire your evangelicals to set up an event of their choosing (ie. bike ride, walk, video-game-a-thon etc. and then they have a personal page where friend, family and supporters can either join their event or donate to their cause of choice). This is still a new idea that we are milling around at United Cerebral Palsy, but it may be something that really gives the end user control to creatively raise awareness and funds for your organization. They also have webinars quite often as well that discuss different tactics from mobilizing Web 2.0 to your evangelicals to fundraise for your cause.
