Good Fundraising Ideas
These good fundraising ideas are not the most extravagant or creative fundraisers you can use...
But they are solid and proven fundraisers that have been successfully raising funds for tons of people. They are fundraising ideas that are profitable. They are fundraising ideas that are rewarding.
These novel fundraisers are simple, yet great ways of raising those much needed funds!
Remember though that with any fundraising you will need to plan properly and be fully organized. Without proper preparation you are not going to run your fundraiser to its full potential.
Let's take a look at these good fundraising ideas...
Good Fundraiser Ideas:
Successful Cookie Dough Fundraising:
Cookie dough fundraising has been profitable for so many groups for many, many years...
And guess what?It is still extremely successful today!
I think the reason is that many people and households love making freshly baked cookies. So, when someone is selling cookie dough to fundraise with, there are loads of people willing to buy it and help out!
This is a brochure fundraiser where people will order and pay you for the cookie dough they want... and then will receive their cookie dough when you send the full and final order through to your supplying fundraising company.
A golf day is one of the best fundraising events you could use!
You will need Golfers among your supporters for this to be worthwhile... but, it is also a way of gaining new supporters through Golfers that come to play in your day who are not supporters of your cause (YET)!
There are loads of different ways for you to raise funds during your golf day so read through all the Golf Fundraising Ideas to see which ones you could use.
8 out of every 10 households in the world burn candles.
So there is definitely a demand for this fundraising product. And when you come with a unique scented candle that is raising funds for your cause; you've got a very buyable product for your supporters and potential customers!
This is a good fundraising idea that will work extremely well during certain (high candle burning) times of the year like the festive season!
Also consider going earth friendly by using Soy Candle Fundraising. Soy candles are environmentally friendly and last a lot longer than traditional candles.
Both Easy Fundraising Ideas and Fast Track Fundraising provide good candle fundraising programs so look through their free info kits to see which one would be better for you to use!
The organization cookbook fundraiser is a great way of getting members involved, raising awareness, and raising funds all at the same time. It's an enjoyable fundraiser and is easily successful!
A cookbook fundraiser will work really well alongside a Taste Test Fundraiser which is the perfect way to start the promotion of your organization cookbooks.
Another one of my favourites! This is such a good fundraiser idea that I recommend every group should use it once a year. (I also recommend that every group uses the magazine fundraiser as well!)
People just love discounts and if your discount cards are for shops or services that your supporters like or want, then you've got a very exciting fundraiser on your hands!
This is another sales driven fundraiser so I would recommend that you read Jack Atwell's "Let's Raise Money". Jack Atwell has years of experience in fundraising sales and has some of the best advice for boosting your fundraising profits through proper sales!
It's a MUST READ if you are using a product fundraiser.
Online auctions are really good fundraising ideas that will take some organizing and online knowledge to make successful.
They are also some of the most successful fundraising initiatives around at the moment and many organizations and individuals are raising huge funds through them.
But like I've said, to make them really rewarding you will need a bit of knowledge on how to run them properly.
This online fundraising auction website provides the platform and tools for you to run a successful Online Auction. They work closely with loads of schools and non-profits all across the US.
So take the time to find out how much they can help you with an online fundriasing auction!
Trivia Night Fundraiser:
This is a great fundraising event that will be loads of fun and raise some good funds!
You'll need to book a venue,
setup a questionnaire pack,
find and sell tickets to participants, and plan your fundraising mix.
It's not the hardest event to organize but just make sure that you plan properly.
The last of these good fundraising ideas, bracelet fundraisers have become an extremely popular item for people.
It's actually more of an 'image thing' to wear a fundraising bracelet, than a 'I actually want to support a cause' thing.
But... Where there's a demand, there's a great fundraising opportunity!
So design a simple custom bracelet that still stands out and grabs peoples' attention!!!
Then make sure you promote and advertise it properly and you have a fully operational sales team that nails the sales. Jack Atwell's book will help you with both of those points.
These novel yet successful fundraisers are ageless fundraisers that have been proven profitable many times.
All you need to do is choose the best ones for your cause and prepare, promote and run them properly to make them really rewarding!
So take one of these good fundraising ideas and make it a huge success!
