<p>To those who have done a fundraiser for a charity/food bank/etc. How did you guys get started? Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>its super easy. just call or email the people you want to do it with.</p>
<p>At school, you mean? If you’re in charge of a club, you can request permission from the principal to advertise/sell fundraising stuff on campus.</p>
<p>Took $400 dollars of my own personal money, purchased TONS of precooked chinese food each day from a local restaurant (they didn’t give me any bulk discount), over three days sold the food at lunch at $5 per plate, gross $700, $300 net profit. 
This is for our Asian club. As President, I treated the entire club to free dim sum, free tickets to movie theatre, free milk tea drinks.</p>
<p>Its all about ambition and organization. If you want it done right, you have to do everything yourself. You must initiate the action, you cannot rely on other people to donate food or contribute to the food sale it almost always never works out that way.</p>
