School Fundraising Ideas

1. Arielle DaRae Said,

   I was on the cheerleading team in high school. Some fundraisers we did were carwashes and krispy kreme donuts. As far as I know they worked very well. Also my sorority does fundraising. We do stuff like Yankee Candle and that worked well. Also fellow classmates may be willing to donate. Hope this gives you some ideas!

2. unknown Said,

   You can try bake sales. For our school, we all pitch in a couple of dollars, and we earn hundreds each day because we ahve a big population.
   You can also try contests, with GOOD prizes. People won’t play if they arn’t the prizes they want.
   You could also try some programmes where its like… the "30-hour famine" (not eating for 30 hours to see how people in Africa live) or "The Inside Ride" (which is teaming up and riding the most miles on a bike that is ‘stuck’ to the floor). For those 2 programmes, our school gave our community hours out, so its really good for those who need more hours, and you can also say that it will look good on their resume for the future. Where does the fundraising part come in? Each participant must collect a certain amount of money, and when they reach lets say $100, they will get a certain proze, and if they reach another goal, they will get another proze etc. Both these worked out very well for us and we raised thousands of dollars for EACH programme.

   Hope it helps!

   I would like to suggest trying fundraising discount cards. They are beneficial to the school(raising funds), the merchants on the cards (they get new patrons by offering a discount), and the consumers (for $10 they are able to save a considerable amount of money).

   I have written many articles at http://www.easyfundraisingcards.com/blog... outlining some of the benefits and also downfalls of fundraisers like candy bar sale, candles, cookie dough, online fundraising (they make it sound so easy don’t they?), and articles about fundraising in a recession.

   Find a Fundraising company that does all the work for you except for actually selling the cards and one that does not charge you anything upfront, lets you pay from profits.

   To make $10,000 you would need to sell 1200 cards which you would be able to buy for $2,000 and then sell them for $10 ($12,000). Most schools can average over 2 cards per student.

   A card we did with an 300 student elementary school in California sold 750 cards. With about 580 cards sold before they even arrived. The person in charge, did spend a little time working with me to make sure the card was good, spent some time passing out our sales fliers, and then also collecting money and handing out cards. But this was less time than she would have spent on any other fundraiser.

   I encourage you to visit our blog and read through our articles. If it seems like something that might interest you, just request more information and we would be happy to discuss your fundraising needs.

   Regards,
   Mark South
