How do I raise money for a school entrance sign?

Question

My school's entrance sign is very old and tattered. Because it is small and hard to see, it is easier to miss the entrance. I wanted to get a new sign for our school, but I don't know where to get the money and how to get it changed. Any suggestions? thanks.

Answer 1

The first thing you would want to do is go to the principal/school board and let them know of your wishes and find out what kind of support you will get there. Then you need to get as many on-board with you on this as possible. Teachers, students, etc. Once you come up with a committee (of sorts) you can start to discuss what things you can do to achieve your financial goal as well as what things you may need to do to advertise what you want to do. As far as some ideas on how to come up with the money: You could ask local businesses for donations as well as put donation cans in the local businesses to be collected by the general public. You could also hold can drives, bake sales, rummage sales. All kinds of possibilities. But you have to make sure you are organized first and foremost. Good luck on getting your school entrance sign. It is a great cause for your school appearance.

That is awesome you are trying to do this. Below I have listed a great fundraising idea:

I've had experience fundraising. I've raised 12,000 $ at a time, more than once for local events. This is how I do it.

Write a letter to local businesses and universities/colleges.
Write a general letter but be professional stating who you are and what you are doing. At the end make sure to say you will write them a receipt for their donation so they can write it off with their taxes and that you will promote them in some way. At the end of the letter or on a seperate sheet of paper provide an itemization of expenses (list your expenses and their approximate costs) be sure to state that any donation would be accepted.
Tips: the more letters you send out the more money you will make, the earlier you send them the more money you will make, universities are a great source of money but be sure to send to all departments in the university, start with local businesses (the home grown type) then branch out to more well known places, start with businessed pertaining to your need, ask for things besides money (always include money but you can ask for other things as well such as any item that will help with your project), if you know the manager of the store address the letter to them although this is not necessary, follow up in person if you have the resources although this is not necessary.
I'm telling you this really really works. And copy shops will usually donate copies to you so that you don't have to pay the expense of copying your letters. If it is an annual event you can usually depend on regular contributers after the first year so be sure to send out thank you letters.
