Fundraiser ideas?

Question

this high school club i'm in, key club, needs money FAST...like, by the beginning of march, for a trip we have to go on and can't afford. we already spent our other money on a service project. what are some CREATIVE, quicker ideas to raise money can we do?

Answer 1

Sit down and figure out how much you need, down to the exact dollar. Talk about what is important about the trip -- why do you want to go? What will you learn? What are the results?

Now, really, the best way to get money is to ask for it directly, rather than selling services like babysitting or car washes, IF it's an educational trip, rather than just something fun. So, ask your parents if they will invite their friends to your house, and invite everyone you know. Tell them you'll be making a presentation and that it's a fundraiser, but there's no obligation. Have it at a convenient time, like Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon. Serve coffee and o.j. if it's morning, or tea if it's afternoon. Make a brief presentation about the trip and why it's important to go, and then ask for money. If even some of you do this, it really works. People are willing to chip in to support something important, and they're even relieved that they don't have to buy gift wrap or cookies.

If that won't work, there's one other thought I have. A lot of adults have a difficult time programming cell phones with different rings and getting them to do things, even text messaging or taking pictures. Yet, every teenager seems to know this. I'd have an event, at the school perhaps, where you'll program people's cell phones and teach them how to use them. You could publicize this just like a car wash, or call the newspaper and let them know you're doing this and see if they'll publicize it. It's just unusual enough that they might send out a reporter to cover it. Figure out something reasonable to charge, like $5 for putting in ring tones for family members, or $10 to teach someone how to take pictures, something like that. I think people would love it -- I know I would!

We have continually performed relatively good with cookie dough. The simplest downfall is getting the products out and storing it due to the fact it should be chilled. We additionally do a Little Ceasar's pizza package promote. They have performed good for us. We honestly did those two times final yr due to the fact it was once a good fortune the primary cross round. You can do a bake sale at Wal-mart and they are going to fit nevertheless so much you're making. (If you earn $2 hundred, they are going to supply you $2 hundred so that you come to be with $four hundred. I am no longer definite if they just do that for colleges or no longer. You did not point out whether or not this was once a tuition choir or church choir, and so on.) You ought to reserve a place with them a few weeks upfront regardless that. Have a plate lunch sale and give to companies. Some well dealers which can be low-priced and effortless to make are spaghetti or jambayla. Sell for $five.00/plate and give to companies if they have got greater than four orders. the downfall to the plate sale is that it takes plenty of individuals to tug it off. It will depend on what number of volunteers you might get. Do a automobile wash for donations. You mostly get extra in donations than in case you ask for a collection quantity. These are the matters that experience long past good for us ago. Good Luck! I am definite you'll be able to achieve your target!

Answer 3

A car wash every week will bring in money, of course this depends on the weather.
