<p>do you guys have any successful fundraising ideas?</p>
<p>Bake sales as long as you do them correctly. Contact local supermarkets, bagel shops, cookie places, donut places, and ask them to donate their food or day old bagels/donuts. And then have your committee bring in other stuff like water, soda, etc. How much are you looking to raise and when? PM me if you want holiday-themed fundraisers and/or ones that make lots of money.</p>

<p>At my school, student parking is on a first-come-first serve basis, so as a fundraising event, we raffled off a reserved parking spot (there happened to be an empty spot in the teacher's lot) It was fairly successful (raised around $60 in one week) but I think with better advertising we might have been able to raise more...</p>
<p>Am I missing something? I know they wanted successful fundraisers but most of the ones I have are holiday/season/class specific and I don't know when the original poster wants to have these fundraisers or the grade he or she is in. :)</p>
<p>okayy so let's see what you can do.
-do u kno someone who can get an ipod for relatively cheap? like an employee at an apple store? sell raffle tickets for $5 each or something. if you get enough ppl, you might be able to make a profit.
-you can always do a carwash, altho that's kinda out of fashion =P nobody wants to get dirty anymore
-bake sales are the best, especially if you kno there's a football game or something where ppl mite be hugnry
-selling tshirts, wristbands, pins, etc. you can make hundreds of dollars with cool tshirts if you have good designs
-just asking people to donate, they probably will. go around the neighborhood (dont get kidnapped!) or ask your teachers. if it's for a good cause ppl will be interested.
-selling those coupon books can help too
-holding a movie night, where you play a good movie and charge ppl $1 for admission
-collecting dues from members i guess</p>
<p>im running out of ideas! what else do you guys think =)</p>
<p>Hi there, </p>
<p>I came across this thread and felt I could help out. I run a website (it's Australian but the general principles still apply) that lists hundreds of fundraising ideas. It is Fundraising</a> Directory: Welcome. Some good ideas for you would I think be good for you might include: Trivia night - you can have a certain theme for the night to make it fun - it might be 80s music etc. Other ideas are:
-a cookie dough fundraiser
-recipe book fundraiser (get local celebs to contribute a recipe to your book)
-personalised T-shirts. There are a couple of suppliers in Australia, so I'm sure there must be in the US, that have really funky designs on their t-shirts, and allow you to have your name or text incorporated into them - awesome designs for teenagers even.
Of course, there will be plenty of catalogue-based fundraisers that require no money upfront.</p>
<p>Anyhow, hope this helps to some measure - take a look at our website for more ideas, although like I said, the suppliers listed there will not service the US and you'll need to find something similar for youself.</p>
<p>Kindest regards,
Mandy

<p>local celebs? who has local celebs? lol =)</p>
<p>Bake sales and cool T-shirts work the best, I think. If you can get nice stuff pretty cheaply, raffle it off. Or ask companies/stores to donate things. Also, people will normally be pretty generous if it's for a good cause.</p>
