I'm trying to come up with a good solid fundraiser so that my club, Ohio Model United Nations can raise money to go to conferences.

You can wash cars, or open a school store, or just sell items.
Hope that helps.

Did you know that over 350 million cell phones, laser and inkjet printer cartridges will be thrown away this year alone? If you can set up a collection drive for these items, there are companies willing to buy them for recycling. In fact, over 3/4 of these thrown away items still have value due to the materials used in them, and many empty printer cartridges and used cell phones can be refurbished.
For example, a typical laser cartridge employs on average 3 quarts of oil to manufacture and contributes 2.5 pounds of industrial grade plastics to the disposal system. As refuse, inkjet and laser cartridges will persist for at least ten centuries, a thousand years! And less than half of the millions of laser cartridges produced are currently recycled.
These recycling fundraising companies will recycle all the materials possible, and the leftover scrap is disposed in compliance with applicable laws. This means these type of drives have a tremendous appeal to those concerned about the ecology, and who isn't? These type of drives also work well for scholastic needs such as high school althletics fund raising programs, since teeneagers will typically buy the latest hot cell phones and throw the old ones away.

My Elementary school did something wildly successful called a Run-a Thon (even though they dont have to run, and by the end of they day; they wont be).
All the kids get a sheet that they take home to relatives and friends (key is to leave it at home for a while so they can sign up alot of sponsors). They can get flat rates or per-lap donations.
You create a rather large circle for the kids to run and they get a stamp on a card (by teachers) every time they do a lap.
The per-lap sponsors motivates some kids to run as fast as they can. The kids walk in packs with their friends.... and its a great day off for them.
Offering freezies or gatorade to kids ( to keep them hydrated) also motivates them.
Finally, prizes of $100, $75 and $50 dollars to the top money raisers gets some kids to sign up astranged relatives !
Its always a success at my elementary school (as long as you dont do it when its really hot outside)

What does your club do? What does the conference teach? You can work backwards to find an idea that fits the club best. Some generic ideas (from school and 4-H) are car washes, make and sell cards, sell wrapping paper and gifts, magazine subscriptions, photo shop, delivery service (groceries), coupon booklets, soup or spaghetti supper, breakfast cart, gift baskets, craft or art sales, posters, family carnival, recipe books, games.....just a few to get your brain working!

The idea of a poker night at a school doesn't sound legal. What about just making time related things, like Snowballs or hot chocalete in the winter or something like that? Not to cheap so that you make money, but cheap enough so that you dont overdo the price and nobody buys?

I don't know if you have a Village Inn Restaurant near you, but they sell pie certificates. The pie certificates make great stocking stuffers and as such are good to do around Thanksgiving/Christmas season. What you do is sell the pie certificates, the person gets to take the certificate to Village Inn (any time within a 1 year period) and get their free pie. You get a kickback of somewhere around 1.50 per pie you sell but it's dependent upon how many certificates you sell.

Best fundraiser I ever done was with Candle Cane Lane. You make $5 dollars a candle and sometimes they offer free shipping. The best candle I have ever burned.

you could make a speech approximately how baking can substitute lives, commencing with how being waiting to bake has affected your very own existence and helped you strengthen to how baking cookies for a homeless individual could make their day so much better (or something charitable and heartwarming like that) and how fortunate all human beings is they are can take care of to pay for to bake and that they might help others employing their expertise.

Rent-A-Kid - get pre-teens & teens assigned or "rented out" to folks who need simple tasks done such as leaves raked, lawn mowed, windows washed, cars washed, etc. for 1/2 a day on Saturdays! God bless!

Why not have a quiz night and charge $5 per person, or a race night or poker night
