Surefire High School Fundraising Ideas

By Tammie Caldwell


Schools need to raise money to help students pay for a variety of activities, and the little extras that make the educational system that much more interesting and exciting. With financial cuts interfering, schools need to get very creative in order to earn this money. Below, find some surefire high school fundraising ideas that actually work and will involve both students and staff alike.

In the last several years, discount cards and books have become very popular because they actually work. Selling these items to donors actually gives them an opportunity to get something back from their donation. Plus, they save a few dollars going to a venue that they are attracted to. Of course, these can be very valuable, if they come from local merchants that are very popular, such as in restaurants, cinema, and the like.

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.

Other successful campaigns could include sporting event tickets up for grabs on the raffle tickets. More and more, it's becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for average consumers to get their hands on such tickets, so it could be a successful campaign. The important thing is to choose the right campaign and put in the right amount of effort.

Try to avoid repetition, as it becomes boring and over time, less successful. There are a variety of campaigns to pick from, such as one that includes crafts. Certainly, there could be numerous talented students with a flair for painting masterpieces. Put them on an online auction, and the rewards will be quite impressive, more often than not.

There are lots of art loving people in the community that would love to get an original painting for their home or business. Other such ideas for fundraising include costume jewelry making. All one needs is a little creativity, some fine silk thread, wire, and quality beads to make necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Snacks stalls are also extremely popular, in all levels of education.

It's easy enough to prepare tasty snacks that can be sold in a high traffic location that will generate a good amount of sales. This way, students stay in one location, and customers come to them. The important thing is to make them look enticing.

A car wash is still a popular option as a campaign. However, a successful campaign requires the weather be cooperative. Today's technology allows for people to judge accordingly just what type of weather they're going to experience over the next week or two. For a successful campaign, keep it going for several days, choosing a high-volume location.
