Online School Apparel Store:

This is a MUST USE fundraising idea for all schools!

It's FREE, highly rewarding, promotes your school brand through the supporters that buy and wear your apparel, and builds spirit amongst your students, parents, and other supporters!

You setup a free store through Spirit School Apparel Custom Stores, who will help with the full process of creating your store. You then promote it through your School Website, your Social Media accounts, and through all your students and supporters!

This is how they explain it...

Unfortunately, SSA Stores are currently only available in the USA, so if you are a School that is not states based and can't use this service, then you'll just have to use the Offline Apparel Fundraiser, which can be just as rewarding.

Scratch Cards:

I often recommend an Online Donation fundraiser for many causes including schools, because of the leverage that Social Media and your students can create, but...

Offline Donation Campaigns can also be highly successful.

And the Scratch Card Fundraiser is the perfect way of using your students to get loads of donations from friends, family, acquaintances, and the general public.

It's a simple fundraiser that uses a clever way of creating fun and reward for giving a simple donation! Definitely consider this School fundraiser.

Scrip Fundraising:

This recommended fundraising idea for schools is a fundraiser that has been raising huge funds for many schools for years now!

You simply sell Gift Certificates for popular and high demand retailers to your student's parents and other supporters.

The merchants love this fundraising idea and so do your supporters, as they are able to use money that they are spending anyway to raise funds for your School.

Raffles:

Raffles have always been one of the highly recommended fundraising ideas for Schools. They are so adaptable and simple to setup, and if done properly will always raise funds.

Just make sure you have great prizes (or use a 50/50 raffle) to make it a huge success!

Auctions:

There are many different Auction Fundraising Ideas for Schools that you could use! For example...

• Live Auction
• Online Auction
• Silent Auction
• A combination of any of the above three.
• Chinese Auction, etc.
  

And it's a type of fundraiser that will always be highly recommended and if run properly, highly profitable.

For example my old primary School raises huge funds every year through a Silent Auction at the local fair!

For all your Auctions, especially your Online Auctions, I would highly recommend you use DoJiggy's Auction Software and Services. They provide an awesome service and will make your Online Auctions really easy to manage.
