Hi,
My school is full of fundraising clubs, but they are pretty much all the same since the fundraising ideas are all alike (like making hand-made decorations, food, and holding dance parties and etc)
these fundraising ideas dont raise too much money because not everyone wants to pay money for these stuff.
it would be helpful if you can tell me about some ideas for fundraisers that you would think would raise a decent amount of money. i want it to be simple because then, more people would donate.
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.

If you don’t want to spend any money up front, and don’t want to have to meet a minimum order requirement, there’s a company that provides drawing journals – http://www.DoodlyCouch.com – and they offer fundraising prices. So you just take orders & money, send in your order with the amount it costs, and you keep the rest as profit. The company sends you the books you ordered and you deliver them. The journals are called "Today I Feel…" in a really cute format, and instead of writing, you draw. Check them out. Very fun, and new/different idea so your customers aren’t getting the same ol’ fundraiser stuff.
