Easy Fundraising Ideas That You Can Use Today
There are lots of fundraising ideas from which to select. Some fundraisers take six to twelve months to organize. You can implement other fundraising strategies today.
Selling something is the easiest way to raise money. You can sell promotional items such as mugs or clothing. All promotional items must include your logo or group name. Not only are you making money, you are marketing your group, whether it is a school team or nonprofit organization.
Candy is another promotional item you can sell. Print information about you and your cause on the wrappers. What is great about candy is that everyone can sell it. Youth sports teams sell candy. Senior citizen programs sell candy. Most importantly, just about everyone will buy candy, especially if it is for a good cause.
Many groups sell Entertainment Books which are large coupon books to restaurants, businesses, and entertainment in your community. The trick with Entertainment Books is timing. Lots of groups sell these books, so you have to be the first one to ask for the sale.
You can sponsor a “Count the…” fundraiser. Get a large jar and fill it with something like jelly beans. Make sure you know how many beans are in the jar. Have people pay $1 to guess how many beans are in the jar. Keep the fundraiser open for a specified period of time. At the end of the fundraiser, the winner gets the jar of jelly beans and half of the “guess” money. The other half goes to you and your group. This is a fun fundraiser for kids.
Kids can also host car washes. This is an excellent summer fundraiser. A car wash competition can raise lots of money for student groups. Have two teams competing to see how many cars they can wash in a specified amount of time. Ask local businesses to contribute $50 for the competition prize. In addition to the money they raise by washing cars, the team that washes the most cars gets the prize money.
