School Fundraising Ideas You May Not Have Thought Of

Collecting For Cash
Gather recyclable or “upcyclable” items and send them to a reputable collector. For example, Terracycle, takes candy wrappers, old keyboards, mice, all of which will then be used to make new products. Some places will give you cash for your used printer cartridges, cell phones, and other small electronics that can be remanufactured and reused in order to keep them out of landfills.

Auctions
They can be silent like a Chinese auction, or live like a photography auction. You can even raffle off tickets for the best parking spot at school.  Hosts an Annual Art Auction at your school. Each class creates a unique piece of art that gets sold to the highest bidder. This fundraiser can erupt into a massive bidding war, as many parents vie to own their child’s artwork.

Competitions
Many schools enjoy channeling competitive energy into fundraising contests between classrooms, grades, or rival schools. The class that collects the most printer cartridges gets or a week of casual dress passes. How about having the student groups get creative by designing shirts surrounding a chosen theme. The most shirts get a pizza party. By providing some sort of special incentive, you will see a noticeable difference in people and their willingness to get involved.

Events
Hold a dinner where students serve the food for their parents and donors, or host a movie day were your school transforms into a theater for the students, who pay to watch brand new films, sometimes before they have even had a chance to see them in the theater! Candy and popcorn are also sold for some extra profit. These kinds of events can be fun and very beneficial to your budget with enough participation.

Loyalty Programs
Companies like Box Tops for Education and Labels for Education donate money to organizations when they receive proof of purchase from their products. Escrip also offers such a program, where parents can register their credit and debit cards to rack up points for their school just by shopping as they always have.
