subject: Fun And Profitable School Fundraising Ideas. [print this page] School fundraiser ideas run from the mad 'Arrest a school mate" and a "No women allowed beauty contest", which both sound like they would cause alot of laughs, to the more familiar like Raffle tickets and Candy sales. Each has their strenths and weaknesses. A School fair might seem like fun and a clever way to bring in some dough, but the time and exertion put into doing it up properly, make it a daunting task for even a seasoned fundraiser.
Finding the balance of decent money and simple to perform school fundraising ideas is one of the toughest parts of a profitable fundraiser. We would like it to be fun for all, while still bringing in the cash, while also not exhausting our volunteers, nor bringing fundraising fatigue upon our communities, so we need keep value to our customers in mind.
Things like Raffle tickets are all the rage since they work, as do candy sales. Who can tell that cute little youngster at your door that you dont like chocolate? But then, having kids going door to door presents a entire collection of safety issues, that I have a hard time endorsing, even with parental and volunteer help. Just for fun, and since it costs almost nothing to pull off having an 'Arrest a "teacher, friend, schoolmate, fan, ect" day might just bring in an infusion of cash as well, especially if to walk off sooner than say 30 minutes of lock up, you have to give a few bucks "bail".
Other school fundaiser ideas, include: Custom discount cards, have neighborhood businesses consent to a fixed markdown for card holders and get their business name printed on the back of the card. Pizza Discount cards are also offered, and common, generally for countrywide chains. There are the brochure type fund raisers which offer you a host of items to pick out from, cookie dough to coffee and gifts. There are magizine fund raisers and why not take advantage of the earth friendly fundraisers existing which advertise just 'green' items. There are even unique school fund raising ideas like recycling used cell phones and even laser printer cartridges!
In choosing a fundraiser provide them something of real value, and if it's an ongoing value even better. One of my favorite school fundraiser ideas are 'online malls' these are commonly without charge and simple to set up, require little labor and often provide an ongoing source of profits to your school.
Online malls may not be as much fun as arresting your greatest friend, but this discounted or cash back shopping is something that parents and grandparents, and even other community members are likely to not mind taking advantage of. Find something that saves them cash, like an online shopping mall that gives discounts or cash back and you come up with a solid value to provide the customer. If they know for example, that they can obtain cash back on their next hotel stay or the next time they obtain almost anything online and support the school, they are very likely to do that, bringing you a ongoing source of earnings.
My favorite online mall even provides a way to help parents and grandparents save up for college expenses!
While searching for the best ideas for fundraising, work at a strategy intended for the entire year, perhaps a proficient mix of a long term online mall along with the short term mad, will not simply provide fun but moreover profits for your school. .
