School Fundraising Ideas

Helping you raise money to support your teachers and kids

Archive for May, 2009



You could have a bake sale for your club. At least 10 people from your club bring in baked goods (cake, cookies, cupcakes etc..) and have a bake sale at lunch time for a week. If you need additional funds then you could sell hot chocolate/coffee every Monday, Wedensday and Friday.

I would want something that isn't as cliche as a car wash, but definitely nothing that we get online.
I absolutely don't want catalogues or selling candy.

perferably something that the whole group would enjoy doing, but make profit at the same time.

10 points for best answer !

THANKS [:

Well, I'm not sure you can use this for a club, but it worked pretty well for our school.

Our school was fundrasing for invisible children, so a penny war was held. There would be 4 jars (one for each class) in our quad during lunch and break. Pennies would count as +.01 and any other currency would be a negative amount. (ex. a nickel is -.05, a quarter is -.25, a dollar is -1). Students were then supposed to put pennies in their class jars while putting everything else in other classes' jars so they would lose point. Everyday the money would be counted and the "winners" would be reported over the intercom. After a week the contest was over and our school raised like $2,000.

It was pretty fun, people got really competive and were like putting $20 bills in other classes' jars. My friend even went to the bank to get $10 worth of pennies for our jar.

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life.”

Nobody really knows who said this first, but it is an enduring truism.
In the quest for increased additional PTA funds for school activities, I want to introduce you to a remarkable new concept
that will truly “feed” a man for life. In our case the “man” is the PTA

I am not talking about perishable goods (i.e.: chocolate candy cookies) we are not talking about the accounting nightmare of collecting bags of change from our students; children dont need to go door to door to strangers houses.
I am talking about a system that everyone on campus can participate in as well as benefit from.

The largest downside to the traditional any fundraiser is two fold:

(1) Ninety percent of all the fundraiser efforts are carried out by maybe 10 percent of the fundraising group
(2) possibly the most disheartening point, when the traditional fundraising event comes to an end the monies stop coming in as well.
I want show you a way to receive residual funds. For all your efforts this year and for the years to come.
This is a proven system, no inventory, no accounting, no long unappreciated efforts.
This will start off small and seemingly unnoticed but it WILL NOT be that way for long. By the end of the school year with less effort then you are accustomed to, you will see a significant increase in your fundraising revenues.
For more information send me an E-mail at Charlie@ptaunderground.com or call me at Cell # 480-678-0938
And start receiving the funds you have earned. Thank you for your valuable time. I will talk to you soon. www.ptaunderground.com
