How to Raise Money for a School Club
When fundraisers take place, they’re a great way to have students help raise funds for the clubs they’re involved in. Sometimes, budgets are not large enough to support student clubs, so fundraisers are a great way to fill the gap. Below are some effective ways to raise the funds needed for school clubs.
Bake Sale
Ask every parent to contribute one item, and make them available to students and families at open events like school concerts, games and PTA meetings.
Shopping Fair
Open the school on Saturday, this will let you host a fundraising market to sell crafts, food, and games to raise money for your school. This is especially effective near the holidays when everyone is looking for decorations and last-minute gifts.
School Dance
Fundraising usually pays for dances, but why not hold a fundraising dance instead? Get your students involved in acting as DJ, decorating and planning the party to keep the costs low. Then, charge admission to the dance and sell refreshments to your thirsty dancers.
Fundraising Concert
Get your school band, chorus or orchestra involved in a night of music to raise money for your school. It provides nice motivation for the kids and is a great way to raise funds.
Fundraising Cookbook
Have your students and parents contribute recipes, and create a school cookbook, which you can print and sell at school events. Work with a local printing company to negotiate a reduced rate for your school in exchange for advertising in the cookbook.
Summer Fundraising
Get your students involved in fundraising over their summer holiday. Let them think of their ideas and reward the top fundraisers when everyone comes back to school. You’ll start the school year with money already in your fundraising coffers.
Team/Club Store
If you are looking for ways for non-local donors to contribute, an online club website is a great way to start. This is a way for family members, who are out of town, to be able to contribute towards your club. They will purchase merchandise that represents the club or team, and they will receive a portion of the sale.
To Summarize
