School Fundraising Ideas

1. Noe Said,

   you covered the basics right there…
   maybe just plain old asking for donations door to door?

   I would say a bake sale.
   or a dance a thon.

   well, i'm starting a club too, but mine is mostly something that I've drafted up for the homeless.
   at our school, i think we have a make a wish foundation club as well (but, im not sure- we have over 40 clubs on campus). basically, what that club does is they create a benefit concert designed for the specfic cause. They get students to audition, and create a whole show. Now, you can have the concert at the school –if you can get the support of the staff, and faculty. You can also get your teachers to give out extra credit. And get as much people as you can to go and spread the message! There's also food sales: our whole school does it. On a day, our school clubs purchase food from the nearby stores, and buy boba, chinese food, italian food, kfc, exc. You can draw up some sort of plan with the store: purchasing large quanities can get you a discount. But only do this when you have enough money! I've calcualated it, doing something like this can earn you twice as much. I personally believe that this will work better than a bake sale. Teenagers these days. You can also collect CDS, and things and sell it to some recycling companies: and have some sort of raffle for every CD. If someone from your club has some flowers at home, you can easily sell boquets on holidays, boyfriends typically pay a lot for those (;

   If you need any more ideas, feel free to ask me!

   BTW, have you ever considered trying to get a sponsor? If you can get on, it will help your club A LOT. And, if you need some community service, I suggest contacting local nonprofit organizations–they would love to get a group of volunteers!

   go to a chain resturant like applebee's or chilli's and ask if they want to help raise money for the foundation. make a deal with them so that customers who go to the resturant the night of the fundraiser get a choice of whether or not they want to donate part of their bill to the foundation

   First off, if you are not going to donate all of the money to "The Make a Wish Foundation" change the name of your club. That would be getting money under false pretenses. Maybe you could use "Wish for Life".
   As for fund raising ideas how about a walk-a-thon, get people to pledge money on how far they can walk, like a dollar a mile.

   I wish you the best. You are doing something great.

   You;ve got some great ideas here already. I've got a few more that might appeal to you because they take less preparation to put on.

   Selling things like cookie dough is easy. Especially in school. Set up a booth and the kids will come. Set up in a mall for a couple hours on a saturday morning, people will come. Take orders, place the orders, there's no out of pocket expense.

   How about gathering some people together who will shave their head for charity. They get money for the act, plus can donate the hair to other charities. Two cause, one act!

   It's great work your doing, Good Luck!

   There is a great website that does easy fundraising that I found (and used) a while ago for my club I was in. http://www.justpoppin.com They sell gourmet popcorn, which is a great idea, because who doesnt love popcorn!? They’ve got lots of flavors too! I definately suggest you check’em out!!

8. Julia Said,

   at my school, we’re gonna have a student VS faculty basketball/ extreme musical chairs game. charge about $1 to $2 for admission and get interesting teachers or principals who people would pay to watch.

9. Ryan McBrdie Said,

   Don’t know if you have seen our site yet (www.TheBagIdea.com) but I thought it might be something your Make-A-Wish Club would find interesting as an alternative to cookie dough, candy bars or magazine sales as you schedule your fundraisers for the year.

   Our program offers the opportunity to help the planet while raising thousands of dollars for your very worthy cause. Please check us out at http://www.TheBagIdea.com! I hope to hear from you.
