I need fundraising ideas?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Hey Vale

What about a BBQ at a local mall a few saturdays in the summer? There's lots of walk by traffic and the work is really fun.

In the meantime there are things that you can do especially if you have students or other people that can help you out. Call up a fundraising company and ask them about scratch tickets or discount cards. They come in different varieties, restaurants cards, local services. Each card can raise over $100 and are quick to do. All that's needed is effort. Sometimes the fundraising company will add extra cards so that the money raised will cover ALL expenses. Your talking 100% profit. The cards can also be added to any other fundraising campaign you wanted to run.

If that doesn't float your boat there are other ideas at the links

Good luck with whatever you pick!

Here are some fundraising ideas that you could definitely think of using. Go to Rewarding Fundraising Ideas (RFI) to read about how to run them properly!

-The Online Magazine Fundraiser - This is always the first fundraiser I suggest. It is one of the best and hassle-free fundraisers you can do! Many people and groups are raising between $2000 - $5000 with this fundraiser while I've seen others raise over $20,000. If you only have time to do one fundraiser... This should be the one you do!

-The Credit Card Fundraiser - Another really hassle-free fundraiser that will work really well alongside a magazine fundraiser! Get people to apply for a credit card online and you'll earn $15 for every approved application.

--By promoting both of these fundraisers together you increase your likelyhood of getting a positive response... Someone may not want to apply for a credit card but they may be interested in the magazines, or vica versa, or maybe they'll want to do both!

-Online Charity Auction - An online auction is one of the most profitable fundraisers that anyone could ever do. Unfortunately it will take a lot of work to get right... But if you have enough helping hands it's definitely a worthwhile consideration!

-Get Paid Guides - Many people make money online by completing surveys, receiving and reviewing advertising emails, and also just by surfing the net. There are loads of companies on the net that are doing research and also trying to gain exposure and they all pay for it! A get paid guide is a single website that finds and lists all those websites that are offering paid surveys etc. There's usually a once off membership fee but you can generally earn that fee back by doing a couple of surveys!

-Lollipop fundraiser - This is one of the easiest and profitable fundraisers around. Most people will generally buy a lollipop from you as they are really cheap. A lot of Schools and organizations are having great success with this simple fundraiser! (In fact, any food fundraiser, like Cookie Dough, Popcorn, or Candy Bars, will usually always work... People need and love food!)

-Cookie Dough Fundraiser - Another really popular and profitable food fundraiser.

-Candy Bars - Well, who doesn't want to buy candy bars!

--Other food fundraisers are popcorn, fortune cookies... and any food that you think would be popular amongst the people you're going to be selling to. Be creative!

-Discount Fundraiser Cards - Another winner! You raise money while saving money for your supporters through the discounts offered on the cards.Win-Win for both of you! And the businesses Win as well as they get more customers to their shops!!!

Raffles - A fundraiser that will always work really well. It is also the best fundraiser to add to any type of event. What you must make sure you have is some really great prizes that people actually want to win. That way they'll want to buy as many tickets as possible, to have as big a chance to win!

Another option you could think of is to set up a Facebook page that asks people to donate...

Set up a method for people to donate online (Check the Online Donations page on RFI to see how to do this) and then link to it via your facebook page. Then invite all your friends, family and contacts to join the page and take part by sponsoring you a small amount ($2 - $5; Compare it to something like a couple of cokes or a few beers. Something so small that they wouldn't even miss it if they didn't get it)! Write a emotive invitational letter that makes people feel like they are already involved. Also encourage them to forward the invitation on to all their contacts.

You should also advertise your other fundraisers, like your magazine fundraiser, on your Facebook pg! Try to also keep people interested in the page by updating it often and keeping people in the loop of how your fundraising is going etc.!

Muahahaha Hey Quincy! It's me Vero!! I'm home "sick" today if you're wondering... hehehe. Anyways my answer to your grammatically incorrect question is an all out Festival!!! Food, Music, Dancing, Games all that good stuff. You can even ask any talents around your school if they can perform! Make a big deal how it's going to be awesome and sell tickets for like $4 or something. Big Bucks man! Alright see ya Saturday.



Love & Music,

My oh-so wonderful brain.

Try organizing some sort of event/dance at a local school! The tickets will bring in money for fundraising.
Another idea is a book sale, just ask around for old books people will donate and sell them. You'd be surprised at what you can get :)

Do your neighbor's laundry esp if they're students.
Rent your car on hourly basis if you have one.
Sell recyclable items.

BLOCK PARTY! you could maybe rent rides come up with stands with volunteers and do all that big shinddeg. maybe get ameatur bands around where you live to perform for free
