School Group Fundraising Safety

The safety of our children should always be the number one priority. Many of school fundraisers involve the selling of products to raise funds.

All fundraising activity that involves children should always use the highest level of supervision by both the parents and the school community.

The list of fundraising safety tips will help ensures that your fundraiser is not only profitable, but safe as well.

Always register your fundraiser with your school. Any fundraiser that is run by any group affiliated with the school must have permission from the proper school officials so they are aware of your event.

While it is common for children to do sales door-to-door, times have changed. This is not a safe practice and is not recommended. If you would like to offer school fundraising products to neighbors, parents should be the ones to make the contact.

Parental involvement in fundraising is a must. From phone calls to events, parents will needed to be involved every step of the way. Your children can be part of the process, but direct supervision by the parents is essential.

Never allow children to carry collected money unless accompanied by a responsible adult. Parents should be the ones to handle any funds collected and directly pass this along to the school administrator in charge of the fundraiser. Please keep all collected funds in a secure location and pass along the funds to the school as quickly as possible.

 Appropriate communication between the fundraising group and the participants is essential.

It is the fundraising organizer’s responsibility to convey the rules and guidelines of the fundraiser properly. There should be a clear step-by-step guideline of the fundraiser distributed to the parents. Parent letters, emails, phone calls and daily announcements help reinforce the safety guidelines of the fundraiser.
