You have been asked to plan a fundraiser, but you don't know what to do. Here are seven great ideas that are easy to put together:
Cookie dough sales help raise money.
This is a great way to raise money at any time of year. Just take orders and sell your group tubs of tasty cookie dough. Profit margins 30-50 per cent.
Fundraising Cookbooks
Making a personalised cookbook is a great way for groups like churches, schools, charities, and hospitals to raise money (groan!). People often call it a "recipe for fundraising success." New ways of publishing make it easy to make money by selling a few or even a few hundred cookbooks. From $3 to $10 per book.
Pizza Fundraiser cards
People will be happy to pay for these cards that let them get free pizzas. If your group is spread out across different places, this may be a good idea. Because you only have to order a small amount, it's great for small groups. Profit margins 70-90 per cent.
Scratch cards are a way to raise money.
It's easy to place an order, and you can have it printed to match your group, such as basketball, baseball, high school, etc. Everyone in your group starts raising money with one scratch card. They just ask their friends, family, and neighbours to scratch as well. Profits range from 90 to 100 per cent.
Candles for fundraising
Everyone loves candles, and scented ones are even better. Just take orders from friends and family. This is a great way to raise money for Christmas. Profit margin 50 per cent
Fundraising with candy
Candy sales can be a good way to raise money for Easter or summer events. You can sell the chocolate at school, pep rallies, sporting events, businesses, or just from person to person. The profit margin is between 50 and 60%.
Brochures for raising money
Brochure fundraising lets you raise money by selling products from colour brochures to family, friends, neighbours, and business contacts. Great for raising money for Christmas. Profit margins 40-55 per cent.
