Easy School Fundraising Ideas and Tips

admin — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 03:00:59 +0000

If you are looking for school fundraising ideas that are creative and easy, consider the ideas and tips I found in the article below. Raising thousands of dollars to support your teachers and students may only require the use of a digital SLR camera and a couple of volunteers.

Tips For Easy Fundraisers

(NAPSI)-Picture this: Raising funds can be easier than you imagine if you follow a few tips. Here’s some new school fundraising ideas and creative tips that are sugar-free and don’t require door-to-door sales.

1. Turn existing purchases into a fundraiser

Picateers is a company that turns school Picture Day into a fundraiser. Parents spend $2 billion on school pictures every year-and virtually none of that money goes to the schools. Picateers is changing that. Picateers gives 50 percent of every dollar spent on portraits back to schools. Picateers is able to give cash back because they train a volunteer mom to take the pictures. She snaps the pictures with her digital SLR camera and Picateers does the rest. It’s minimal effort-an elementary school can raise thousands with only two volunteers for a day. Parents love it because they can help their school by simply purchasing their child’s pictures.

2. Get healthy with a Walk-a-thon

With a Walk-a-thon, children have a blast walking to raise money for their school. It’s easy to set up. Children bring home sponsor sheets for parents and family members to pledge either a fixed donation or one that depends on the distance the child walks. Children feel a sense of accomplishment in completing the Walk-a-thon to help their school.

3. Try a fundraiser that delivers all year

eScrip is a company that works with retailers like clothing, electronics and grocery stores to give a percentage of parents’ purchases back to schools. This fundraiser requires minimal effort. A coordinator at a school sends home a sheet for parents to complete, registering their credit and debit cards. Then, when parents shop at participating merchants or buy products on the eScrip Web site using their registered cards, their school earns money throughout the year.

4. Focus on learning

A great fundraiser that supports learning is a Read-a-thon. Typically, parents and family members pledge either a fixed donation or a flexible donation depending on the number of minutes the students read during a two-week period.

Children bring home pledge sheets and start reading. A way to make it even more fun is to ask local merchants to donate prizes for the students who read the most or have a special prize for the entire class that reads the most.

These easy school fundraising ideas mean no more staying up late to bake for bake sales or bothering your neighbors for donations. They can put the “fun” back into fundraising and provide a great return for your school.

Fundraising can be a snap if parent volunteers use digital cameras to capture images for school picture day.

Elementary School Fundraiser? What are inexpensive items that would return a profit?

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 15:29:19 +0000

Our class is in need of funding for field trips this year. I am thinking that maybe we could sell a snack to raise funds. Can you think of inexpensive snacks that I could buy in bulk and make a reasonable profit? I’m thinking that I could purchase items at Sam’s Club or Costco…

Have a magazine sale and tons of carnivals, especially for halloween, make it kinda scary, not like really scary but enough to make them jump

What are some good fundraising ideas for high school?

I am an officer for our schools science club. We are planning an educational trip and are in need of some fund raising ideas. Please help me out. Thank you

Get the students to put on a play or concert to raise money.
At a primary school I worked at they had a paper recycling drive. Parents and friends would bring in their newspapers to the school and the school would get $50 for every 12 recycle bins they filled. It may take a while to raise money but with minimal work from students the money can pour in.
High schools are slightly harder for fundraising schemes. Primary schools are much easier to fundraise for – walkathons, spellathons, trading tables, raffles etc.
Good luck in whatever event you choose.

Something feasible. We want to stay away from restaurants, catalogue sales. This is for senior class council

here are a few ideas that does not include restaurants or catalog sales. bingo events, have students put on a show/play, do a movie night in the gym, car washes, school dance or even a fashion show (have students donate clothes etc..) The site below has many good ideas. Hope this helps, good luck.
