Schools' budget shortfalls are nothing new, and neither is fundraising. Take advantage of the holiday season with fundraising ideas that will generate much-needed cash for your district, and partner these ideas with a donation drive held online with Fund-Team.com. 

One of the best ways to fundraise is a virtual donation drive, and Fund-Team.com provides an entirely web-based platform that charges a 5% commission rather than the 20% other platforms take. We offer simplicity and effectiveness. You stand to lose nothing but an average of ten minutes. 

HOLIDAY-RELATED FUNDRAISING IDEAS

Gift Wrapping Services

Who has time to wrap presents? High school students and other volunteers - that’s who! 

Request permission to set up a stand in the local mall and accept donations in exchange for wrapping gifts for harried shoppers. The season of generosity will bring out real numbers in exchange for a chore that most gift-givers lack time to complete. 

Put Together and Sell (OR RAFFLE) Holiday-Themed Gift Baskets

Gift baskets for the holidays can make an excellent fundraising item. A nice gift, conveniently available, is exactly what many supporters need at this time of year. Ideas may include PJs, DVDs, popcorn, and cocoa packs for a family holiday movie marathon; cookie dough, icing, a Santa platter, and reindeer treats for Christmas Eve preparations; Christmas morning breakfast essentials like syrup and pancake mix; a wine, cheese, and summer sausage basket, and more. Put together a range of basket ideas for a plethora of buyers.

Pictures with Santa for Donations

Another foolproof holiday fundraiser idea is offering pictures with Santa in exchange for donations. Volunteers, a holiday-themed set of decorations, and a digital camera and printer are all you'll need for this fundraiser to be successful. 

Poinsettia Sales

When you think of Christmas flowers, we imagine you picture poinsettias. They're in everyone's home and business, and you can take advantage of this demand by selling them as a school fundraiser. Approach a local nursery for the lowest price to reap the most profit for the school.
