I started an invisible children organization at my new school. The purpose is to raise money and awareness to aid the war-stricken children of Uganda, Africa.
We've done a candy cane gram, where we sold candy canes during lunch and delivered them in 8th hour to students, but we're looking for something with a little more profit since the club is new and has little in the account.
Any ideas?
big or small, the sky is the limit.
thanks in advance!
Bake sales are popular at our school. Like another person said, Valentine's Day is coming soon so you could have some club members dress up as Cupid and deliver valentines that people pay to decorate themselves. I was part of a club fundraiser right before winter break where we sold gingerbread men that people could decorate themselves and it was popular. We delivered them though, during 7th and 8th period. People liked the fact that they can decorate them and they LOVED that we did delivery as well – it's a surprise for the recipient. Another idea is to sell the $20 bracelet and DVD things that are offered by Invisible Children (I went to a meeting earlier this year, but didn't actually join).
I'm in FBLA, the business club, and here's a tip: Don't just sit there, talking to other club members, and wait for people to come buy from you. Actively call to people and ask them to buy, or small talk with people you know as they pass by. It shows that you're into what you're doing and that you care.
Hope that helps. And good luck!!

How about a Penny Drive. Have your school mates bring in their penny's or other change. Have a change jar in each classroom. Do this for maybe a week. You might be surprised by how much money you raise.
You might be able to raise money with a car wash or a bake sale as well.

What about a FREE Coffee fundraiser?
Specialty coffee and beverages are an exploding market nationwide and it practically sells itself. Java Joe's Roasting Company is an upstate New York based coffee roaster, who specializes in fundraising. Organizations will realize a profit of $2.50 or more per bag sold. The products will be customized to promote your organization (free of charge) and there are no set up fees or minimums. This fundraising program is equitable and offers your supporters a first class practical product that is perfect for every day use. There are NO out-of-pocket expenses to your organization because you will be collecting payment for each order before you place it with the company, therefore, you are immediately in possession of your profit. You can even change the name of the product & have fun with it! Good luck! I hope I was able to help.
p.s. My son's preschool made $2,496 during a 2 week campaign.

-Our school did a "Beards For Baker" because that was our school. Teachers volunteered to shave/grow a beard and the students would put money in their bucket to vote and win him over.
Our school made a ton of money with this.
-Generic bake sales.
-Battle of the bands/concert at your school or community church to get the public involved as well.
