Great Fundraising Ideas?

My lacrosse team just started our bank account, so essentially, we have little funding. I am going to be a senior this year and looking to step up and be captain, I’m going to need to plan some great fundraisers to raise money for team items and new equipment. So in general, I want something we can make fast goooooood money from. Something not to difficult processwise. Any ideas or experiences had would be appreciated!!! =] Pleaseee

What is a good fundraiser for a class of 20 wanting to go on a class trip?

Our geometry class is wanting to go to a math and science day at Kings Island, but since it is only our class, we are not allowed to use the school’s money. We need a fast and easy way to make enough money.

What is an easier and fast way to fund raise?

Okay, so my cheerleading squad is going to state competition this year and we’re fundraising money to stay at a hotel the night before. The fundraiser consists of a card that a person needs to scratch off two stars with a certain amount of money they need to donate from .75-3.00(similar to scraching for a lotery ticket). What I need help with is what to give people back for their donation. Something that would make them want to donate. Please help I only have 2 weeks to sell and its worth $250.00. Thanx.

Nagesh answers:

I am confused. Are you saying you want people to scratch a card and then give you the amount they see underneath the two stars? So evidently you want to give the potential donors a small gift to “bribe” them into accepting the card from you and feeling responsible to pay the amount they uncover. I would give out pens or pencils in the school colors with a short message with your school or team name and a thank you message. People also like and need small pocket calendars. Or, you could just flat out ask for money. People don’t always expect something back for their donation. But personally, I am a sucker for fund-raising chocolate bars or cookies. Good luck.

Lizzie asks…

Easy fundraiser?

hi, i really need help to make some money and fast. i need to make $400 really soon and $5700 by close to March ish. any suggestions for easy fund raising and money making? thanks
the reason i need to much is that i was nominated to be a US student ambassador and i would travel to Ireland, Wales, England, France, Belgium, Holland, and the Netherlands during the next summer for about a month. it costs about $6295. well thanks again.

Nagesh answers:

My hockey team did a car wash and in 3 hours we made $550! We charged $7 per car… If you do that make sure you’re in a place where lots of cars pass by and make signs too.

Bake sales make a lot… Like after school (if you’re in school) charge like 75 cents per cookie/brownie and you would make like 20 dollars per batch of brownies…

You could have a yard sale if you have extra furniture/clothes/toys
or sell stuff on craigslist.com or something like that

hope i helped!

David asks…

What is the best breakfast fast food to sell on campus of a high school as a fundraiser?

As a fundraiser, my organization wants to sell fast food on campus; however, we are surrounded by Taco Bell, McDonalds, Burger King, Shipleys, Taco Stand, etc. So, we need to sell something far away from the campus, considering that we will be selling the same item for a higher price.

Two of the options we came up with were Chik-Fil-A and Sonic. Chik-Fil-A has breakfast sandwiches that sell for $2 and something, so we would sell it for $3. We think that would be too expensive. Sonic doesn’t really have anything that students couldn’t get elsewhere.

Do you have any ideas? Remember, we want to make money, so the product has to sell at a not so expensive price. (By the way, we have to compete with FREE breakfast given on campus as well.)
Ms. Kitty, thanks but we won’t make money that way. The taco stand sells the same and is only a block or so away. Shipley’s is a bit further, but people will still choose to walk than pay more (tried and failed by another organization).

Nagesh answers:

Does it have to be an organized fast food type of place?
I would think it would be nice to have pies, pastry, croissants, scones and things like that, along with coffee. I like lattes and maybe a pastry as opposed to breakfast sandwiches that I consider greasy. Bagels and cream cheese (lite cream cheese) are welcome as well.
