Answer 1

Fundraising Ideas
1. Do a search online for free fund raising ideas, there thousands of them, pick the ones you can do quickly. (see below)
2. Post a blog entry about it.
3. Join some community and fund raising forums and website and post your message there.
4. Email your friends with the information and ask them to forward the email to others.
5. Post flyers with the information on bulletin boards and other charity sites.
6. As for companies, it depends on the type of work you are doing. Go for the big ones first, like Nike, Coke, Pepsi, etc, send them letters and ask for sponsorship, sometimes these companies just send out checks to folks!
7. Then go to local companies, meet the owners face to face and explain your need and how it will benefit the local community.

Honey, you are talking to the maven of fund raising! Try a silent auction. If you sweet talk local businesses, you will only have to pay for the ink and paper to print the bid forms. The items to be auctioned will be free to you and a tax write off to the businesses! It's a win-win situation. Provide cool drinks for the bidders and a fun atmosphere with music and lots of people to help the bidders. E-mail me if you have no idea how this works. It's fun for the people who are organizing it as well as those who attend. You could make several thousand dollars at this with minimal effort!
