Surefire High School Fundraising Ideas That Actually Work

By Tammie Caldwell


Schools need to raise money to help students pay for a variety of activities, and the little extras that make the educational system that much more interesting and exciting. With financial cuts interfering, schools need to get very creative in order to earn this money. Below, find some surefire high school fundraising ideas that actually work and will involve both students and staff alike.

In the last several years, discount cards and books have become very popular because they actually work. Selling these items to donors actually gives them an opportunity to get something back from their donation. Plus, they save a few dollars going to a venue that they are attracted to. Of course, these can be very valuable, if they come from local merchants that are very popular, such as in restaurants, cinema, and the like.

Another great discount card idea is directly from mobile phone carriers. As virtually everyone has a mobile phone these days, it can be quite useful to the consumer. It's important for people to recognize that the big retailers do like to give back to their community because they are appreciated when they do. Other ways could involve raffle tickets. There are so many ways to earn good money from selling these, so long as there are attractive offers, such as from popular restaurants or salons.

Raffle tickets can also be very successful if there are tickets to a popular sporting event or concert. Of course, these can be difficult to acquire, but some people do have their connections and they really go a long way. However, it's vital for anyone doing the fundraising to choose the ideal campaign for the particular time.

Be careful not to overdo the same campaign, as it will eventually grow tiresome and not achieve successful results. Therefore, it's recommended to make some important changes. For example, introduce crafts that would bring out the talent in numerous students that could actually paint. There could be an online auction to make it more interesting.

There are lots of art loving people in the community that would love to get an original painting for their home or business. Other such ideas for fundraising include costume jewelry making. All one needs is a little creativity, some fine silk thread, wire, and quality beads to make necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Snacks stalls are also extremely popular, in all levels of education.

In order for it to be a successful campaign, however, one has to find a high traffic location. It is this area that will provide more sales, and thus, generate more money. At the same time, those doing the baking should do their best to make them look tasty and enticing.

For decades, in movies and in neighborhoods all over North America, car washes lead in money raising campaigns for schools. These are still popular and can generate quite an amount of money over the course of a few days. A successful campaign should be planned according to the weather, and should last a few days. Again, a high traffic location is necessary to generate good income, as is some marketing to get as many as customers as possible.
