Do You Need To Raise Money? 

For your school or for extracurricular activities?  Or maybe you want to raise money for charity.

This past weekend I helped my son’s Cub group do some fundraising for much needed camping tents. Taking 6 young people around to collect bottles makes for an interesting day. 

Fundraising

Going door to door fundraising taught the boys about work, entrepreneurial spirit and the need of funds to buy things.   They encountered positives and negatives in their journey but they all handled it with manners and acceptance. I was very proud of their fundraising efforts.

Fundraising Tips and Tricks

Organization and planning is a must.  The better the planning and organization the more profitable the activity.  Simply putting out a jar with a note saying “I’m raising money” is not going to work.

Fundraising Goal

Set your time, place and plan in motion. How much money do you need to raise? What are you doing with that money – what is your goal? What type of fundraising would best suit your group and your goal?

Fundraising Supplies

  • Raffle Tickets
  • Fundraising Candy Bars

Raise Funds

Figure out how much time you have to set your plan in motion?  Are you doing this as a group or as an individual? Set some rules and guidelines.  Store the funds raised in a responsible place.

Have Grace

Be aware that some people are just not financially able to support your fundraising events.  Pay it forward.  Have grace and be kind. Say thank you.

Make It Unique

The 50 ideas above are just the tip of the list.  What are you raising money for?  Could you create a unique fundraising idea around your reason.  

Fundraising Raffle

For example my son’s group is raising money for camping supplies.  They could always approach a local camping supply vendor and see if they could donate some camping supplies to raffle off.

I could tell you right now I know 40 people who would buy those raffle tickets no matter the price – simply because it’s camping gear and raising money for kids camp.

Fundraiser Benefit

The same goes for most things.  I am sure you know people who would support an arts fundraiser or a cooking fundraiser.  

Planning A Fundraiser 

The key is to relate to your audience.  Show them the benefit of the fundraiser.  What are they gaining and what is the group gaining.

Raise More Funds

Spread the word.  More voices make for a louder audience.  More voices means your fundraising idea travels farther and raises more funds.  Get out, have fun, organize, raise funds and support.
