the organizations and clubs im in charge of are doing fundraisers but i am desperatly in need of some nice creative ideas to raise as much money as possible

anything but a car wash, those things are awkward….
and we are already doing bake sales and breakfast sales
to raise money for gaza
(dont ask how we are gettin the money there…we just can lol..)

any ideas please?

bake sale: cakes, cookies, pizza and anything you can make at home

sponsor a movie…like for example, let’s say you are sponsoring money for the research abt autism…get a movie abt autism and play it in your school movie theatre and get pple who want to help your cause to pay tickets

organize a theme party in a cool hangout place where kids usually like to be on a Friday night or Saturday…talk to the owner to cut you some slack with the prices so that you can make money out of this evening (tell him it’s like free publicity or smtg and that he will be helping a cause…)…u can get some free food or drinks from the owner that you can sell to the pple coming

garage sales…get the pple who are with you in the organization to donate whatever they don’t want anymore and that you can sell…do it on school premises by getting a special order from your principal

A golf ball directly before the hole

By Melissa Peterman

Just about every school out there, whether elementary, junior high and even colleges need fundraisers for sports teams, field trips and even special events like Prom. In order to send your school’s track team to China or the jazz ensemble to New Orleans, make your school fundraiser a success. With so many choices out there to bring in money- the secret ingredients to a great fundraiser starts with a good base and a little creativity.

Some Great Ideas to Make a Successful School Fundraising Event

Sports

Everyone loves a little friendly competition! When it comes to bringing out people’s competitive giving nature- nothing like a good competitive sport to bring out the Benjamin’s. Here are a couple great school fundraising ideas involving sports.

1. Charity Golf Tournament – Easier than it sounds! With several professional golf fundraising organizations, the work is almost done for you!

2. Golf Raffle – Ask friends and family to help you out by selling raffle tickets to a golf event. Have a local business advertise for $100 a hole.

3. Charity Ski, Basketball, Baseball Or Kickball Event – Ask friends and family to donate $1 for every goal scored, every strike out, basket made or slopes conquered on the mountain.

Edible

Hard not to resist Girl Scout Cookies? Bake sales, spaghetti dinners and pancake breakfasts are all great ways to bring in some money without a lot of pressure. People will spend money since it’s a win win situation. Instant gratification almost always out sells any other fundraising ploy.

1. Bake Sale – Ask every student to sign up for a day to bake cookies, cakes or muffins to sell for .50 a piece. It’s amazing how it adds up fast.

2. Spaghetti Dinner – Spaghetti is cheap! Charge everyone $5 for spaghetti and you have raised a substantial amount of money after just 10 people!

3. Pancake Breakfast – Same game. Pancakes are cheap! You could offer all you can eat cakes for only $5 and watch the money roll in.

Classic

Garage Sale – Ask friends and family to donate used items to your garage sale. All the money from the sale of the items can go to the cause!

Magazine Sales – Selling magazines through your school has always been a great way to bring in a lot of money. Again, another instant gratification present for the buyer.

Whether you decide to go sporty, classic or the delicious route, any of these fundraising tips will be sure to bring in the cash to benefit any of your school’s needs. With a few volunteers, some competitive spirits and some willing donors, it may be just as much fun as rewarding.

i would really like to do candy bars but i just dont have the money to purchase the candy it is very expensive i also have been looking for donations from stores and stuff but i have not had any luck so far please if you have ideas or can help me that would be so great!!!

A bake sale is a good idea, have the students each make something to sell. Not only will you make money off of it but it will also get the kids involved. Maybe have a pizza sale. Talk to some of your local pizza places and see if they will donate some of the things for you. Then have the student put together the pizzas themselves. You then can have baking instructions printed out to go along with each pizza.
