School Fundraising Ideas

AND….Can someone explaining to me about the selling candy fundraiser?

10 points for coolest ideas!

Well the best buy I made off someone selling stuff to raise money was a case of Dr. Pepper. Every year the school somehow was able to sell off cases (24) of the 20 ounce bottles. Normally they’re 1.39 on up each but for a case it was 20. To add to that almost every bottle I purchased had a winning cap for a free Dr. Pepper. My sisters friend at work sold them to co-workers for his son. Soon after I got my case of Dr. Pepper though he had a heart attack and died. If I knew where I could get a bargain like that though I would.

When I was in band in high school the teacher had a good idea though. He bought boxes of candy and put $10-15 dollars worth in gallon Ziploc bags and the students sold them. If they’re priced reasonably especially if it’s cheaper then the candy machines that is a good idea.

Or sell home made goodies during lunch, between classes or after school. Cookies, pickles, candies, soda. On election day I worked at an elementary school where they had that set up the day before the election when we were setting up. We all made trips there for soda and snacks.

Have a community yard sale. Ask for permission to set up in the school parking lot or maybe someone’s house and advertise. Ask for donations from friends, family or neighbors who might have stuff they don’t want and are willing to give up.

I’m President of the Junior class at my high school, and we have to pay for prom this year. We have nearly no money, and I want to start earning now. I need some really good fundraising ideas that turn a good profit, but don’t cost alot from our account. I really don’t want to do a car wash or bake sale or anything like that. If you have done these could you please give me all the info and about how much money you made? Thanks.

Here are some fundrasing tips:

Ask local restraunts or businesses if they will hold a special night where a certain percent of the profit will be donated to your class. This works great for restraunts because students get to see eachother, eat great food, raise money, and the restraunt gets free advertising.

Also, try selling items that say “Class of ’09″ or your school name/logo on them and have spirit days where everyone wears them. Also, you can set up a stand in lunch that sells school supplies (ex: pencils, folders, pens…) that students can buy.

If raising money doesn’t work, try having each homeroom or student bring in a food item or decoration to bring to the prom so you don’t need to spend money, but you still have the stuff. DJ’s can be expensive, but an iPod or mp3 player hooked up to speakers can work just as well.

Good Luck fundraising, and I hope your prom is awesome!

Our class is going on a Europe trip and I would like to rais half of the cost by fundraising. It costs 5,000 dollars. What are some good ideas?? Realistic ideas please

Provide some sort of service -

Lawn cutting – exterior painting – snow shoveling

Go to the appropriate business in you area and say

“Hey give us some tools to do this and we will advertise your company for free as part of your helping to send us to Europe” With the tools we have from you we will put ads and flyers around town and ask people to hire us at a discount in order to gather up money to go

The business that gave you a few tools wins – they look really good and your providing them free public exposure

People win because they get a discounted service and you win because people will want to help someone willing to “work for it”

Hi
next summer, me and my friends will have just finished high school.
we are taking part in a 3 weeks expedition that summer to Ghana to do conservation work and helping in schools and stuff.

we are expected to raise a large sum of the money ourselves and was wondering if anyone had any
fundraising ideas?
sponsorship ideas?
things we can do as a large group of 15-30?
things we can do as a group of maybe 5?

all ideas and personal experiences welcomed

If you are physically fit, you could do a sponsored walk/cycle ride. I was planning to do a ride around England (1425 miles) but all the people going on my trip were too lazy! It would take about 2 or 3 weeks. Things take time, usually too much of it.

Bag packing at your local supermarket, preferably Waitrose (the shoppers tend to be more generous) is a good way to raise money, about £800 has been raised in one day.

We are Juniors and need fundraising ideas to gain money for our Senior year. We are a small school of about 200 students which makes it hard to do any big activites…

Some suggestions:
Lollies in a jar( guess the number, 50 cents a guess)
A presentation, e.g. a play( $1 entry, up to you)
Spellathons, Mathdecathalons(the whole school or just one class)…etc. Get sponsors each person contributing.
Bake sales( make everyone in the class to bring something)
Sausage sizzles
Races-running and other activities(get sponsors)
Busking
that’s all I can think of right now, hope it’s successful and goes well for you. ^_^
