Answer 1

Tis the season. Find a sponsoring company that sells candy or Holiday gifts. There are many if you check the web. have a raffle is another idea, call a car dealership and see if they can help you.

You can also have a haunted house if someone is willing to give you a place, of course you will have insurance coverage. Will your company help???

Just suggestions, hope these helped.

Answer 2

Go to the Terri Lynn Fundraising website - they have a wondeful product that I have sold as teacher and have made thousands of dollars very quickly - just try a search on Terri Lynn Fundraising. They are located in Elgin, IL.

Answer 3

Raffles work great, providing you don't have any jack-azzes who try to trip you up with technicalities.

Raffle anything from a bottle to tickets etc. Everyone knows someone who could donate something. If you can get one really great prize you can get a bristol board, draw squares on them and number them and sell off each square for $5.00 Write the person who bought the square's name on it. They can buy as many as they want or sell 5 for $20. Do this for different prizes if you have really great prizes...and then sell them to anyone.

I pulled off a raffle and got over 20 prizes donated from companies within 3 weeks (wrote over 100 companies) and the raffle went to 10 schools tosell. It was to get a bunch of kids to an event in the US. We made over $6,000 doing that. I will never do that again it nearly killed me as I did almost all of it myself except for selling the tickets. Made the tickets up too.

Another great thing to do is a SPAGHETTI luncheon/dinner. IT's a lot of work but less work than a lot of things, and believe me I've done them all.

The less you have to rely on others the better off you will be and the faster you can pull things off.

Spaghetti is cheap. I did this at work for 100 people and the guys got barrels cut in half and wood and just boiled the pasta outdoors in huge pots. Or you can cook it in advance and buy lots of those huge foil containers and add the sauce and keep it warm in the oven and serve.

You can buy sauce (ready made) at Costco and places like that for no muss preparation and see if someone will donate the cheese or any of these items really. They don't cost that much!! Often a supermarket will donate. Don't get too greedy, spread the requests around (ask for pasta from one place, cheese from another, sauce from another) buy plates etc. at Costco and forks etc. too (maybe even garlic bread...ask a bakery!) and sell for no less than $5.00. Sell pop for a buck on the side too or water/juice. You make lots of money on that.

Answer 4

Raffle

Try to get one really big prize or good prize. I recently organized a raffle where the top prize was a weekend with an Aston Martin. Second prize was a trip to Wembley to see England play Brazil at fooball (soccer to you US peeps).

Family Day

Organise a family day with stalls and a magician and all sorts of stuff and charge for entrance.

It's hard to know what suits your kind of workers.

Answer 5

Talk to local companies on sponsoring your team- can you have their logo on your jersey? Can you provide them any promotion?
I agree with the others that Spaghetti dinners are cheap and easy to get people to participate.
Silent Auction- what type of company do you work for? You can do a silent auction or some things on Ebay- promote it through Craigslist, local newspaper & your company website.
Connect with a charity, raise money & give 40% back to the charity plus your time- more people might be willing to donate.

Answer 6

Have a fish fry, or chicken fry event. Then sell tickets, the winners of which will win a door prize. Guys like tools and fishing equipment, and women like pedicures and manicures. Many merchants will be willing to contribute to your event, and you will tell them that they can attend the event free. It will also be a compliment to them if you ask them to draw from a paper bag, or soup pot the winning ticket that the lucky person has and make the presentation to the winner.

Answer 7

I am an Independent Designer for Home and Garden Party. How may co-workers do you have? I have a fundrasing oppertunity that is easy for you to acheive that goal. Also, where are you located?

Answer 8

You give us no clues about the purpose of the funds.
People want to know what they are supporting, & why;-}
not just "We need $3,000."
Do you have a team logo? Or can you use the company logo?
Get something made with the logo on it, to sell for profit:
T-shirts, Key-chains, tag-day, etc.

Or organize something around food (big winner).
Have a pot-luck, tail-gating, or BBQ, party.
Everyone donates a dish, & you sell tickets to eat.
