School Fundraising Ideas

Helping you raise money to support your teachers and kids


I am a class representative in my high school, and I am trying to think of some good ideas for fundraisers. We already sold a bunch of candy last year, but this year i want something more unique.

What are some fundraising events/ideas that are/were successful in your school?

    Hello,

    Book sales may be a fund raising event of interest to you. The money can be used for club purposes and or donated to a literacy organization.

    All across the nation, many organizations hold book sales that feature cheap books that were either donated or removed from circulation of a library. Typically these sales sell books, CDs, magazines, and DvD’s for rock bottom prices. This type of fundraiser helps generate much needed funds while promoting literacy in the community.

    One resource I have found online that gives a good overview on how to run one.

    http://www.associatedcontent.com/article…

    Being charity organizations, these nonprofit organizations often have limited resources to advertise and promote their sales. As such, many people are never made aware of the excellent deals they are missing within their own communities. That’s where http://www.booksalemanager.com comes ins. We are attempting to bridge the gap between Organizations looking to more effectively advertise their sale, and people looking to find more places to get good deals on books and media.

    Organizations and other non-profit groups can freely advertise their sale on our site. People looking to find sales can use our powerful search tools to find these sales. They can search by state, zip code, sale size, and date ranged.

    Furthermore, people can create an account and save sales to their calendar to help them better track the sales they want to go to. Accounts also allow users to be notified if a new sale is listed in their area and send notifications to remind them of an upcoming sale. All these features help increase sales for the organization and promote a successful sale.

    I believe book sales are a great way to find bargain books and media while at the same time supporting the local organizations we all know and love. It’s a total win-win.

    Thank you for your time and if you have any other questions, please let me know.

    Check out the Urban Farmer Seed fundraiser. They’re a large garden seed company that offers seed fundraisers. They use recycled magazines to package all their seeds and they offer an eco-friendly alternative to junk food, tupperware and magazine fundraisers. They also send out sample fundraiser packets for free so you can show your school.

    Check it out at http://www.ufseeds.com/Fundraiser_6bd03f7587d774161abf9.html

    We found the most profitable ways of bringing in money at fetes and fairs are with food – cake stalls, BBQs, ice cream, drinks and refreshments. You can make a lot of money on tea/coffee/squash/home made lemonade etc.
    For an activity that went down really well, sell plain chocolate shapes, animals, eggs etc. and provide bowls of candies, chocolate buttons and cake decorations for children to sit down and decorate with. Stick the candies on with icing sugar.

    See if there is a chocolate manufacturer you can buy seconds from or buy cheaply over the internet

    It’s a great activity in itself -or you could dedicate a whole evening to chocolate – as well as chocolate activities get some chocolate sellers to come in and sell and you take a share of the profits try decorating ready bought chocolate shapes such as chocolate eggs, animals, etc. with small sweets candy stuck on with icing sugar. The kids will go wild! Good luck

    I know of a lot of schools that use the Champions Card. It’s a discount card that helps people save on almost everything–not just shopping and eating out, but things like car repair and haircuts. It works all over the country, so you can sell it to grandparents, etc.

    You don’t have to pay up front, plus you get $10 per sale, so you can make good money. The best part is that it’s easy to sell in this economy, since people will save more than they pay you by using the card. Some schools have made quite a bit of money with it.
