Tried and True FundraisersWhen someone is put in charge of fundraising for the team, their first instinct is to look for something new and different. While change is great, sometimes the tried and true fundraisers work best. That’s why they are tried and true, right? Whichever fundraiser you choose for your group, consider the amount of time and resources you will need to accomplish your goal. Ask anyone who has organized a quick and easy fundraiser, and they will tell you there was not much quick and easy about it. That’s where tried and true fundraisers come in. Try one of these ideas for your next fundraiser:
Yard Sale/Garage SaleParents, neighbors, family members all donate their unneeded belongings to the cause. Locate a site to hold your sale. One person’s yard or the parking lot of a business work well, with permission of course. Advertise cheaply in the local newspaper and by using flyers. Increase your traffic by advertising that this is a multi-family sale. Each family can attend their own table or you can schedule block times for groups of volunteers to work. How many working volunteers you need will depend on how much stuff you collect. By the end of your sale, you will see that, indeed, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Athlet-A-Thon EventsCalled by various names, these “thon” events not only raise money, but showcase the talents of the team! Each team member gets sponsors to sign up for a flat amount or a certain amount they will pay per lap, distance throw, accurate kick, whatever talent or group of talents works best for your team. Your target sponsors can be local businesses, neighbors, family members, and so on. Save money by making your own pledge forms. Product SalesProduct sale fundraisers can vary in duration and complexity. There are three basic categories of product sales:
If simplicity is your goal, go for the immediate sale, or cash and carry
items. These are usually low ticket items and often involve something edible.
Consider the size of your target audience and order products accordingly. You
don’t want to get stuck with leftovers. Car WashThe most tried and true of them all, the car wash stands true as a great way
to raise money. Some advanced planning is involved and getting your volunteers
lined up is an important step. Secure a place to hold your car wash; many gas
stations and convenience stores are very approachable about having a car wash at
their site. It increases their traffic and brings in more potential customers.
Profit Tip: Use An OverlayAny of these tried and true fundraising methods can be enhance by doing an
overlay fundraiser. Do a cash and carry product sale or bake sale at your yard
sale, car wash, or “thon” event. While you’ve got your resources gathered, take
advantage of it and make as much money at one event as possible. Who knows, you
might not have to do that second fundraiser after all!
