Fun Fundraising Ideas
Funds are extremely important for an organization. Organizing a fundraiser is always a tedious work. Gathering so many people, sending your message across to them, you would also need volunteers if you want to have a big fundraiser.
So let's make it a little fun and games. This time I am giving out some fundraising ideas for people from all walks of life. Enjoy your work and earn lots of money. Make your fundraiser a success. Let's have a look at some of the ideas.
High school is a place where kids from all walks of life come and study. Being such a big educational institution it requires constant maintenance and care. For its constant growth, funds are required and to get those funds here are some ideas for fundraising.
Interesting Fundraising Ideas for High School
Candy Sale
Most of the people have a sweet tooth. So bring out your grandmother's homemade candy and start selling them. If you are buying them from local stores, decide which type of candy would you like to sell and buy it in bulk. Ask for a discount and tell that it's for a school fundraiser. Buy the proper amount of boxes required and distribute it in your volunteers. Your total cost incurred should come around $50. Sell it to neighbors, family members, other students and local people. Try to sell one candy for a dollar. You can earn double the amount you have spent. Distribute the investments done before and you can give the rest of the money to the school.
Yard Sale
Try to have a big garage or yard sale. Spread the word out to your friends and neighbors. You'll probably end up cleaning a lot of waste from your as well as the neighbor's house. Pick a weekend for the sale as most of the people would be at home and attend it. Set up tables and chairs in the school parking. Distribute pamphlets all around your neighborhood and in school.
Pet Sale
With the planning of a garage sale, send some of the volunteers to local animal shelters. Inform the animal shelters about your yard sale; also explain to them the idea of selling these animals in a fundraiser. Work out your share of profit with them in advance. Invite a staff member so that he can be present at the sale and explain people about the animal adoption process. This type of fundraiser would benefit the school and the animal shelters in a huge way plus giving these loving animals a much-needed home.
Fun Fundraising Ideas for Kids
Fun fundraising ideas for kids are always helpful for them in the long run. With these projects they learn to work as a team, they learn to be team players and the most important thing is that they understand the value of money. Fundraisers can be for anything for their field trip or their tree house.
Popcorn Fundraiser
The popcorn fundraiser is a lot of fun, but you should have a small group of your friends helping you out and you would have to make the initial investments. Purchase some cases of popcorn. Each case has 6 packs which contain 3 bags of popcorn. This fundraiser would be a great success at a school event or a school game. You can sell 1 pack for $10 each and enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
Walk your Pet
This fundraiser is my most favorite. The trick is, make a small group of your friends in school and neighborhood. Go and knock on every door that is in your neighborhood and ask them if you can take their pet for a walk. People these days are so busy that they hardly get time to interact with their pets. This can be a good money-making idea, charge them $2 an hour. Take the instructions about the pet from the owner and have a fun time with their pets.
Have a Lemonade
This is the oldest and the most common fundraiser of them all. It's been in the fundraiser list for decades. It's always been a success, but the important thing to remember here is when it should be sold? Always have this fundraiser in the hotter seasons. This becomes an instant success if sold at the right time.
Flower Sale
This fundraiser requires supervision from parents. This is an excellent idea for a fundraiser provided the parents take time out and help their kids in organizing it. Contact a local nursery and buy flower plants in bulk and ask them for discount. Divide the kids in groups and knock on every door in the neighborhood. Rather than going to a nursery, people would prefer to buy plants that come to their door step. You benefit nature and earn cash.
Fun Fundraising Ideas for College Students
Do you feel shattered by the site of people in Haiti? Do you want to give to the children's hospital or animal shelters or raise money for your college? Here are some excellent fundraising ideas for college students.
Dance On
Permission of your college authorities is essential for this fundraiser. Introduce a free style dance competition, built a stage in your college campus and send out invitations to different colleges and universities. Send out invitations in your neighborhood and set a registration fee of $4 for every participant and an entry fee of $1.
Fundraising Wristbands
Awareness wristbands are a fantastic fashion statement. Buy them online or from a store in bulk and avail the discount. Select your specific colors and messages to be embedded in this wristband. It's recommended to sell each piece for $2 and raise funds spreading love and awareness.
Bake Sale Goods
This is one of the oldest fundraising ideas. Select volunteers from your group who can use an oven or who know how to cook baked goods. Bake different types of cakes, cookies and sell them off at your desired rates.
Clothing Sale
Take out your good clean clothes, bed sheets, carpets, and mattresses which you don't use often and sell them at your fundraiser and give 50% of your earnings to underprivileged children or to your college fund. Read more on fundraising ideas for student council.
