The middle school years are essential. Students begin to discover their independence, grow in responsibility, and explore their identities. Clubs, teams, and other organizations are vital to this stage of development, so fundraisers become a default expectation of the middle school experience. Fund-Team.com provides a platform for safer and more effective fundraising that can be easily integrated into a complete package of plans or serve as a standalone fundraiser.
A fundraiser can provide middle schoolers many benefits beyond those directly related to raising funds. They'll gain confidence, interpersonal skills, gratitude, friendships, and more. Allow us to walk through a few of the conventional and not-so-conventional endeavors to consider as you put together a plan of action for middle school organizations to raise cash.
Dance-A-Thon Pledge Fundraiser
Planning a middle school fundraiser with a social component can be an excellent idea for this age. The school will likely host a dance sometime during the year. With a middle-school-appropriate playlist, sound equipment, and permission from the basketball coach, you'll be set to implement the event.
This fundraiser allows students to develop responsibility, math skills, and dance moves. Hold the students responsible for gathering pledges, tracking their numbers, and collecting the donations post-event.
Car Wash Fundraiser
A fundraising activity like a car wash or bake sale is another great way to get kids active and combine them into a cohesive unit. This type of fundraiser will require a venue, some adult oversight, and baking ingredients or car-washing supplies. With the onset of social media, advertising for this type of fundraiser is simple. Simply share an announcement on a neighborhood page, ask others to share your post, and you'll have plenty of customers before you know it.
Restaurant Profit Fundraiser
Does your community have a popular, community-minded restaurant? Many local restaurants will partner with school clubs and teams to help with fundraising by allocating all of the profits from one night to the organization. The restaurant benefits from positive marks for its reputation. This fundraiser is simple as long as you can find a partnering restaurant. You'll advertise a date among the community and potential supporters. Maximize the excitement about the event to maximize your fundraising intake.
Principal Hijinks Fundraiser
Do you know of anything more appealing to a middle schooler than being the cause of an authority figure's humiliation? This rebellious spark is the foundation for a very successful school-wide fundraiser. Kids will put great effort into raising funds when the payoff is watching their principal pay the price! Pair this incentive with a coin drive, fundraiser sale, or any other plan if you have a specific goal stated and tracked for the students' continued motivation.
