I'm taking students on a study abroad trip next year. The group is looking for fundraising ideas. Thoughts?
Thank you:)
-
How about a fun run?
-
Car wash! We always did them for cheerleading and made loads of money!
-
I also think a car wash is a good idea! Or maybe a yard sale?
-
@looch: Good idea! I think a lot of students/staff would get into this.
@littlebug @peacelily: This is probably a dumb question, but where is the ideal location for this? At school?
-
@winter_wonder: The school my parents taught at did a yeti cup fundraiser last year that was very popular, especially if you can plan it that they arrive in time as Christmas gifts.
-
Our local school rents out students to help with chores around the house. Lawn mowing, stacking wood, etc. I think its an awesome idea
-
I love Silva's idea. Most fundraisers only raise a small percentage of what you are asking people to pay. So if I spend $40 for dinner or wrapping paper, you get $2-3. I'd much prefer a no overhead fundraiser like shoveling snow, lawn work, or a parents night out.
-
@winter_wonder: We did ours in the parking lot at a local playground/baseball field. It was so much fun.
-
We used to sell homemade baked goods at school events (school plays, recitals, dances, parent's nights, etc.).
Or hot chocolate before school.

-car wash
-citrus fruit sale (we did this to help pay for our trip in HS, took orders and a giant truck drove up from Florida with grapefruit/oranges, then we hand delivered orders)
-"students for hire"- babysitting, raking, snow shoveling, odd jobs and all money goes to the trip.
-Fundraising dinners/days at local businesses- for ex, 15% of your order at a pizza place on a certain day goes to the trip, and the students help drive business there -
@Tanjowen: ooo! I like it!
@pollywog: good point
@silva @lionseyes: good idea on students for hire. There are quite a few older adults nearby who may need help with yard work. -
Someone I know was just posting recently about how her kids were selling 31 bags as a fundraiser for a school trip. I'd never heard of it as a fundraiser before, but thought it was a good idea because it was something different.

@LemonJack: Nice! I hadn't heard of that before. I like the new ideas to keep things interesting
