I am going on a school trip to Washington DC, and still have about $2,000 to raise. I am clean out of ideas for money. So does anyone have an idea for fundraising that actually works? If so, please tell me! Thank You!!

You can sell glow sticks to others! I know it sounds corny but you can go to glow world on the internet and get a bulk amount for really cheap and sell them for much more. For instance, if you buy them each for about 9 cents a piece and sell them for a dollar- you make 91 cents for each one!
My daughter sold some for keystone club and they all raised about 1200 bucks within 3 months because they sold them at school, at church and at the boys and girls club they go to.

Hi. Have you ever thought of a fundraiser with eco-friendly candles?
I'm an independent distributor for a company that makes a cleaner burning, all-natural (100% biodegradable), truer scented candle. We offer a very generous fundraising program. For every jar sold, you make $5. There is no cost to you, I provide all the materials.
On average about 85% of all families buy candles at least once a year, and candle fundraising programs have been as successful, if not more so, than most the products (gift wrap, chocolates, magazines, etc..) sold today. The jars burn for approximately 90 - 100 hours so they are a good value for the money.
Please visit my website for more information or to request a free fundraising packet. You can find my contact information there as well.
Whatever you decide to use as your fundraiser, if you put forth the effort you should be successful.
Best Wishes.
PS. Location is not an issue either. I am currently helping a church in Mississippi raise money, and I live in Vermont! :)

Yard sale (or trash to treasure...these make TONS everyone brings their junk in)
Movie night for the little kids at your school. Select a good kids movie that is somewhat recent (Over The Hedge, Monster House...) and play it in your school auditorium or wherever has a large screen in your school. Charge$5-$10 for admission and hold it on a Friday night after a sporting event or after school. Sell snacks. These make TONS of money just make sure you hang up fliers and get it in annnouncements asap because parents WILL love to leave their kids at school an extra 2-3 hours.
Class cookbook- have everyone in the class bring their favorite recipies and compile them into a cookbook. The moms LOVE buying these.
the usual carwash, bake sale, raffle tickets.....
Sell beautiful spring bouquets on visitors day
Design a class t-shirt and sell them
GOOD LUCK!!!

Sometimes you can write to companies and ask them to sponsor you, if it's for a club or something educational. If that doesn't work, you can always:
-sell baked goods
-organize a car wash (get together with other people who still need money)
-garage sale
-baby sitting or some other job.

Arts + Crafts. Really. I once had to raise some money, so my fried and I went to the crafts store and bought clay, with which we made lots of figures (she was really creative, and they were really cool) since I was lacking in such things, I baked cookies and cake and my friend and I sold them together. It was really fun, and we raised the money we needed.

bake sale or a garage sale. For a garage sale, ask people you know to donate some stuff.
