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.

Japan Earthquake – School Brass Band Fundraising

admin — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 06:09:06 +0000

Really great Japanese Junior High School brass band performing to raise money for Earthquake and Tsunami victims in China Town in Kobe. What a great Music teacher! An absolute dude. If you enjoyed the performance as much as I did (these kids are only 13~15 years old!), please make a donation in their honour to Second Harvest Japan; http://www.2hj.org/index.php/get_involved/donate_money Note: I do not know exactly which organization they were collecting for, but I do know that Second Harvest Japan will turn your donations directly into food and support for people who were badly effected and lost family and homes. 100% verified great cause.

Fundraising ideas for a high school class trip to China?

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:44:09 +0000

So a trip is being offered in over a year and I need to raise $3,000. Because of the economy my parents can’t pay so I was wondering what are some of the best fundraisers that you have ever done to raise money for something expensive like this. Especially ideas that don’t just involve selling cookie dough, all of my relatives are tired of that.

There are quite a few websites that offer tons of great high profit high school fundraising ideas. Here are a couple:
