Fundraising Ideas You Don’t Know About!

Often, the most challenging part of fundraising is coming up with a new idea that will help motivate your group. If you are tired of brainstorming sessions that just bring up ideas that are ones you have tried and tried again here are some ideas that may be brand new to you.

Actors – Ask your thespian-oriented friends to improvise for a "play party". Invite all of your friends, serve hors d'oeuvres and ask for a suggested donation at the door.

Coins – Go to your local mall or shopping center and ask what they do with the coins in the fountain.

Cook Off – Solicit local celebrities to enter their best dishes and have people pay to vote on the winners.

Balloon Raffle – Sell balloons for $10 each and insert a number in each that corresponds to a raffle ticket given to the purchaser. Pop a balloon for each available prize and read off the winning number.

Donate Gold
– Participants ask friends and family to donate old jewelry they no longer wear and turn the gold in for cash.

For the Birds – Deliver a flock of fake pink flamingos to a donor’s yard and leave a note explaining the cause and asking for a donation to “replant” the flamingos in the yard of the next “victim” the first donor designates.  Pick your targets carefully.

Give it Up – Sponsors commit to give up a regular activity for a month and donate the money they save to the designated cause.

Lunch Room – Put up a display in the lunch room at work (a sign with your picture and a note about what you are doing); be sure to include a jar for donations and a stack of your donation slips.

Pump Them Up – Coordinate with a local gas station to have volunteers serve as helpers who check tires for proper inflation (to save gas) for a donation.

Skip a Meal – Sponsors commit to giving up a meal together and give the money saved to the designated cause.

Smoothie Stand – A healthy and yummy twist on the tired old lemonade stand.

Sunset Coupon Books – Selling them is a great value (more than $400 for just $10) and easy to do.
