Then there's also the
Tune Up Tuesday videos,
which are the follow up videos from Movie Mondays.
As for these ideas, remember that there are still other fundraising ideas that can be used as church youth fundraisers.
So please spend some time on the other pages on this website to see if there are any other fundraisers that may fit with your group.
Let us take a look at these Church Youth Fundraisers...
Church Youth Fundraisers:
Flamingo Fundraiser:
This is such an amazingly fun, funny and creative fundraising idea!
Your youth group will have so much fun doing this, but it is also a really simple way of raising great funds.
The Flocking Flamingo Fundraiser is a prank fundraiser where you sneak into someone's yard when they are not there (or asleep) and 'land' a flock of 'plastic' Flamingos on their lawn.
The people can then have the flock removed for a set fee and can have them placed in a friend’s yard for an extra amount.
And yes, you are of course going to catch people who are snobs and who don't want to participate.... But if your removal cost is not too much, most people will truly enjoy the fun and want to support.
I have heard of quite a few groups running unbelievably successful Flamingo fundraisers for entire seasons!
Simply design T-Shirts that promote Christianity, or your specific religion or dominion, or your specific Church.
Then sell those T-Shirts through your Youth group and to your Church members. If the logo on the shirts is not specific to your Church you could even sell them to other Churches near you.
It's a great church youth fundraiser as it will raise funds and awareness at the same time!
You still then have the option of bulk ordering at a discount so taht you can sell directly to people offline. What a great combo!
Because this is a sales fundraiser you will need to prepare and teach your fundraising team to sell (on a basic level). Fundraising sales is one of the most overlooked part of fundraising but is the one part that can make all the difference.
What I would suggest is that you read Jack Atwell's Let's Raise Money eBook to get the best information on sales from an expert in the fundraising sales field! Click the link to read my review of his book.
But whatever you do just make sure that all of your Youth jumps on board and shares or promotes the fundraiser to everyone they know, asking for simple small donations from them.
I would suggest that you set this fundraiser up through the
Crowdfunding website Micro Giving
. The platform and tools that they provide will make this fundraiser really simple to set up.
To get the most out of this fundraiser I would highly recommend that you read all 2 pages of the Online Donations Fundraiser.
Don't do it without reading them. The advice is invaluable!
Custom Silicone Bracelets:
This is one of the best Church Youth fundraisers!
It's another fundraising accessory that has become somewhat of a craze over the last decade.
Design simple bracelets that promote Christianity or your Church and sell them to your youth, church members, and any supporters!
Some cool logo ideas could be... Your Church's name, your youth group name, WWJD (What Would Jesus Do), or WWJT (What Would Jesus Think) etc. etc.!
Use some cool colours and make sure you promote it effectively. You will also need an equipped and prepared sales team so make sure you take the time to read Let's Raise Money by Jack Atwell.
Events are a great way of raising substantial funds, as there are many different ways that you can fundraise through the event...
Like with a raffle, food sales, drink sales, fundraising product sales (Like your bracelets and T-Shirts), auctions, and of course entrance fees!
It's also a great way for you to promote your other fundraisers, like maybe your online magazine fundraisers, to a big audience!
A talent evening or show will be a fun event where your youth shows off their different talents from dancing, to singing or music, to stand up comedy, to a short play!
Be creative with it and make sure there are a wide variety of acts that are performed during the evening!
And once again to make any event successful you need to fill it with people, so make sure you promote and advertise it. I would suggest you read the running profitable charity fundraiser events page for information on this!
A Few Other Events:
Some other events you could look into are...
A Golf Day - Always a profitable fundraiser but it takes a good deal of organizing.
Trivia Quaestionnaire Evening - A great fundraising event that is underused. Organize it like any other dinner/evening event but obviously you'll need a questionnaire for your participants.
This is a fundraising product that will work extremely well as a church youth fundraiser, as church going people generally burn loads of candles!
So find candles that will be popular in your church and get your Youth Group selling.
Use the search block further up to find a candle supplier near you or make them yourself. You'll find some books to help you with this through the link below.
Here are three other fundraising products that I would highly recommend you could use for your Church Youth Fundraisers!
Click on the links to read more about them...
Online Magazine Fundraisers - It's free to set up and is one of the most rewarding and easy Church Youth fundraisers you could use!
Discount Fundraiser Cards - This will always be a popular and successful fundraiser in any group. Simply because people love discounts and special deals!
Lollipop Fundraiser - They're cheap, they're popular, and they therefore sell really quickly. What else do you need to know!?!
No matter what fundraiser you do your success will come from organizing and running that fundraiser properly.
So take your time to read the relevant pages and books to make sure that you get the most out of your youth fundraising campaign!
These Church Youth Fundraisers are great ways of getting your youth involved and contributing to your Church. They should also create some great spirit amongst your youth.
