Creative fundraisers increase participation, and greater participation equals more success in generating income for schools. As you brainstorm innovative ideas for raising money for the school, include Fund-Team.com to maximize results. We offer a website-based platform to facilitate online donation drives for schools, teams, clubs, etc.
Innovative Fundraiser Ideas
Leverage Novel Student Experiences
Allowing students to make their days more interesting will inspire them to participate in fundraisers. Paying a small sum to wear PJs or hats, attend an ice cream or pizza party, humiliate an administrator, or send a treat to a friend could be a successful money-raising idea for your school. A side benefit of the effort includes increased school spirit and excitement.
Community Field Day
A community field day can combine an entrance fee, concession sales, merchandise, and an optional raffle for yet another fundraising opportunity. Plan a host of activities for the entire family to enjoy, advertise the event around the school and community, and set up the courses on the athletic fields. You'll see an impressive yield at the end of the event.
Dog Wash
Instead of holding a car wash, consider having a grooming day! Recruit a few parents and kids to participate, advertise on social media and within the community, and set up a few stations to shampoo some canines. This type of fundraiser is an excellent way to raise money while teaching students valuable skills and character traits like patience, gentleness, and appropriate pet care.
Discount Card Sales
Discount cards are an easy sales item for fundraising, especially if the area's most popular businesses contribute. They, in turn, benefit from the positive community reaction. Supporters can pay $20 per card and potentially save hundreds. The profit from these efforts will depend entirely on how many cards are sold.
Virtual Donation Drive Powered by Fund-Team.com
Host a donation drive entirely online with Fund-Team.com. All you need is a connected device and a few minutes of your students' time. We allow you to donate directly to the school and take a low 5% commission.
Processing the donations will take another 3%, leaving Fund-Team.com users with about 92% of the total amount donated. That figure is impressive.
The process requires no setup fee and no minimum collection. To begin, the campaign organizer should sign up and arrange a meeting for participants to enter the contact information of family members and friends. It is essential that only genuine email addresses and phone numbers are entered and that the contact information be known to the participant. Abuse of our system can result in that participant being banned from Fund-Team.com.
Participants will follow one link to enter the contact info of potential supporters, and they’ll then post another unique link to their social media pages that followers can use to donate. We’ll also provide a link for the organizer to share on the school’s social media feed.
As you brainstorm fundraiser ideas for your area schools, remember to incorporate Fund-Team.com and the power of virtual donations.
