What is reasonable to charge for a charity car wash for the humane society per car?

Question

My car wash is in the works. If all goes according to plan, it will be held at a self service bay at a professional car wash that will be donated for the day by the business. Since most likely volunteers will be bringing our supplies from home, I am not expecting more than a simple suds and rinse. How much of a donation can I charge?

Answer 1

5 or 6 dollars

Answer 2

I would say $5.00.

Answer 3

I'd pay 5 dollars

Answer 4

It depends on how many donations you are expecting to get..

Not many people are willing to spend over $7 on a carwash.

If you think that many people are going to show up, you can make your price lower, which, will in turn, lure more people in to wash their car. (the more people, the more donations) If you plan on having no service, go with a higher price (not too outrageous) around $6.50 is reasonable.

Answer 5

This is probably the number one fundraiser that our local school does to help raise funds for prom and sports. They usually sell tickets ahead of time and they were usually $5 each. This gave students the chance to sell tickets and get money up front. It also gave them an idea of how many cars they would be washing that day. And some of the time the people who bought a ticket don't show up, but that does not matter since you already have the money! Plus you will have people who will want to drive up to get their car washed. That means more money raised! Good luck.
