My middle school program is looking for some fundraising ideas so that we could purchase things for school at the end of the year. Keep in mind that this is middle school, so nothing to elaborate, please. So far, for fundraising, we have sold candy apples, wristbands with our school's name on them, and discount cards. Any more ideas? Thanks in advance!
Candy, t-shirts, wristbands are all good & fine, but they get really old after a while. You need to do a fundraiser that interests the people with the checkbook (moms & dads). We've did a raffle like that & it raised lots of cash because it was out of the ordinary. What we did was get with a local outdoor shop that handles guns & accessories, archery stuff, outdoor clothing, etc & asked them to help sponsor it. We still had to pay for the stuff, but it was done with the raffle money, you just had to make sure you sell enough tickets to cover the cost of what you're saying is/are the prizes. For our raffle, the prizes consisted of: a specific Browning Rifle, a specific Remington handgun, specific archery equipment, or a $500 gift certificate. The most expensive thing was the gift certificate. We sold tickets for $1 each so we needed to make sure we sold $500 in tickets. Every dollar over that was profit. We sold tickets for a short amount of time & made a few thousand dollars. The reason is that we had something people were really interested in winning. Of course, the kids could only win the gift certificate, but they could do whatever they wanted with that. It also gave the gunshop lots of good advertisement because their name was on all the tickets. It worked out really great! Anyway, you don't necessarily need to raffle guns, but that might give you an idea that hasn't been done in your area. Good luck!!

Hi there! GREAT question…
I've been heavily involved with fund raising for years….so here are some ideas I have that could be relatively low in cost for your endeavor…
1) Consider a mail campaign – depending on how many mailing addresses you have, you never know how many people might respond to your cause and just write you a check! This works amazingly well for several organizations that are short on time AND resources.
2) Instead of having a garage sale at your home, try having a "garage" sale on eBay! Think of it as a virtual way to get rid of some stuff AND make a little more money…(make sure you include the cost of shipping those items online or else you'll end up losing money!).
3) If you or your parents are involved in some kind of community (such as your school, your church, etc) think of making an announcement at church, or posting bulletins at school. You could always sell baked good at school or church or even start up a recycling campaign!
4) This one is a little more elaborate…but, have a fundraising event – give people in your community something to look forward to, and host a gala….you can sell tickets, have an auction, raffle prizes, etc that will give your church something to look forward to AND a perfect opportunity to donate to something they care about.
