Surefire High School Fundraising Ideas

Surefire High School Fundraising Ideas


by Tammie Caldwell


Fundraising is very important part of the education system, which raises money for schools to help their students pay for expensive field trips, yearbooks, and so much more. In addition to that, institutions need extra funds simply to provide activities to their students, and make their years more interesting through events. Below are some surefire high school fundraising ideas that can help students and staff alike be more successful in their efforts.

Of late, discount cards have become extremely popular, and for many good reasons. Providing discount cards or even books from local merchants gives back to donors, helping them save a few bucks for things they really want. Depending on the company, discount cards can be free while others may charge a fee. What's important is that they can be very valuable, as they can come from popular restaurants, movie theaters, and so on.

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.

Repeating the same campaign over and again, however, might become tedious and less successful over time. So, change it up a bit. Crafts or another great way to raise funds. With so many talented students around, surely there are some that could paint some masterpieces for sale. They could go on an online auction, perhaps, or even be placed on display for an auction within the school.

There are many people who would be proud to hang an original painting on their walls. Other talent can come through costume jewelry making. There are so many beautiful designs out there that many people would love to wear. Those making them only require good quality beads and a few other materials to make attractive and trendy necklaces, earrings, anklets and the like. Moreover, there are the all-important snack stalls that could be a campaign with great success.

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.
