  1. bake sales, car washes, food stands, craft sales...


  2. Hey there!

    I've been heavily involved with nonprofit fund raising for years....so here are some ideas I have that could be relatively low in cost for your cause...

    1) Consider a mail campaign - depending on how many mailing addresses you have, you never know how many people might respond to your cause and just write you a check! This works amazingly well for several organizations that are short on time AND resources.

    2) Consider running an online auction - this is an AWESOME way to get to the people whose mailing addresses you don't have (ie you've got their EMAILS)...your email base can feel like they're using their expendable income on great stuff AND its going to their community at the same time!

    I've included a link of one of the online auction companies that I've worked with...cMarket. They also have another website, BiddingforGood.com, that opens your auction up to all their members so that people who you don't even know can donate to your cause and bid on your items!

    3) Instead of having a garage sale at your home, try having a "garage" sale on eBay! Think of it as a virtual way to get rid of some stuff AND make a little more money...(make sure you include the cost of shipping those items online or else you'll end up losing money!).

    4) Have a fundraising event - give people in your community something to look forward to, and host a gala....you can sell tickets, have an auction, raffle prizes, etc that will give your community something to look forward to AND a perfect opportunity to donate to something they care about.

    5) One last tid bit - consider selling sponsorships for your event...this can help off set some of your cost INCREDIBLY. You'd be surprised how many local businesses want to be a part of your cause-minded event! You can ask for anywhere around $500 per sponsor, and if you put your auction online, you can ask for even more than that because they'll be getting just that much more exposure through your website and event emails!

    Best of luck with all of this! :)

  3. we held a summer volleyball camp, but i guess its ntoo late for that. Uhm. you could always to the normal car wash, selling candy, talent show or even a bake sale! good luck i hoped this helped

  4. I work with a company that can help you set up fundraisers for any project you might have. One of the best to use is a web based promo offer fundraiser that costs you nothing to set up and use, you just need to promote your project with emails and flyers to those who might want to help you and get a great deal on things like Netflix, blockbuster, As Seen On TV items, and the like. Check the link below to find out more, or email me at ds_music_now@yahoo.com and I'll be happy to help!

  5. I coordinated a fundraiser for my son's school that involved magazine sales from a very reputable source.  It was very successful.  Write me at sonny60651@netscape.net.  Look forward to hearing from you.

  6. bake sale/ washing cars

  7. umm u can buy bunch of things from the 79cent store and make a little catalog and ask people if they want to buy anything... or have a lemonade stand, bake sale, yard sale, etc.

  8. I know it sounds awful, but if you're a high school team, not a middle school team, do a bikini car wash.  Guys like the idea of pretty volleyball players in bikinis, and you'll get good tips.  My varsity team did them with great success.

  9. You can never go wrong with a car wash. :]
