10 Fundraising Ideas to Earn Money for Your School

 Does your school need funds to upgrade the computer lab or renovate the gym? What kind of fundraising events will help you reach your financial goal?

Organizing successful school fundraisers can be a challenge. You will need to carefully consider a variety of factors, including what to sell or offer, where and when to do the event, and who gets to participate.

Below are 10 school fundraising ideas to consider:

  1. Raffle

You can sell raffle tickets to students, parents, or other members of the community for a chance to take home a prize. The prize does not have to be big. It can be school memorabilia or a basket of goods made by the students.

  1. Bake sale

You can ask students, faculty, and parents to make biscuits, rolls, buns, pies, cakes, donuts, and other baked goods to be sold. Organize a one-day sale event and invite people from the community to come support the school while enjoying delicious snacks.

  1. Flea market

Students, teachers, and parents can donate their unwanted belongings that the school can sell at a flea market event. Good examples of donation items include old clothes, books, furniture, and toys.

  1. Car wash

You can set up a car wash event in the school parking lot and ask students, parents or members of faculty to help out. Invite your community to get their cars washed by you for charity.

  1. Fun run

This is an event that you can open to students, teachers, and families. Participants can donate a specific amount in order to partake in the fun run. Plan and mark a route around your school and neighborhood and whoever finishes the run can receive a certificate of participation.

  1. School merchandise sale

You can make stickers, banners, shirts, sweaters, mugs, and other merchandise with your school logo on it. Then sell the items to faculty, friends, family, and school alumni.

  1. Treasure hunt

This is a very fun school fundraising activity. Around the school grounds, you can hide colored eggs or other marked treasures for participants to find. You can ask students, faculty, or anyone else who wants to join to form groups and pay a registration fee to participate.

  1. Arts and crafts day

First, ask your local arts and crafts stores if they are willing to donate supplies. Then, ask your students to showcase their artistry and creativity through drawings, paintings, and handcrafted items that can then be sold to the public.

  1. Lemonade stand

This classic summertime activity can also help raise funds for your school. Reach out to local businesses to donate time and supplies for a stand and the lemonade. On the day of the event, students can prepare and sell the drinks to the public.

  1. Tournaments

Organizing small tournaments, such as trivia contests, spelling bees, or rock-paper-scissors challenges for school fundraisers are a great idea, too. Students, parents, faculty who want to compete must simply pay a small fee.
