Fundraising Ideas

Fundraising Ideas by Willow Abilene

 

As a non-profit organization leader, it is important to consider fundraising ideas that can help support your school, charity or sports team. Launching a fundraiser is also a fantastic team-building exercise, whether you are working with a church, baseball team or the middle school band. There are tons of options for fundraising ideas available, so think about the unique position and goals of your organization before getting started.
You are surely familiar with tried-and-true fundraising ideas such as candy and chocolate fundraising, T-shirts fundraising and cookie dough fundraising. These classics are ideal for youth organizations such as little league teams and school clubs. Group supporters and community members are familiar with these fundraising ideas, which makes the selling process a little easier on your team.
Selling discount cards is one of the best modern fundraising ideas, as they are low in cost to your organization while providing real value to your supporters. For the low price of one card, your supporters are granted great discounts on products they already buy.
City Savings Cards are customizable for your organization, and they support favorite area businesses. You are able to select retailers to feature on your card, and your supporters take advantage of unlimited-use discounts specific to each merchant featured.
Another discount card fundraiser idea is to sell Online Savings Cards, which allow cardholders (your proud supporters) to earn savings of up to 40% on major online retailers. The cards can be sold and used worldwide and your organization can earn a major profits quite easily.
A fundraising company like Buy For Charity can be a great resource for ordering inventory for your fundraiser, and for discovering more unique fundraising ideas. They even feature some particularly creative, student-friendly fundraising ideas like Smencils- scented pencils made from recycled newspaper. Clearly, the options are nearly endless. So choose wisely, and have fun earning cash for your organization.
