Interesting High School Fundraising Ideas That Work

By Tammie Caldwell


In the education system, and with everything getting so expensive, fundraising is a vital part of helping students pay for events, field trips, and so on. In addition to that, the institutions themselves actually need some extra funds to help students experience school with activities, as it should be. With financial cuts here and there, it's becoming increasingly difficult. However, below, find some interesting high school fundraising ideas that work.

In the last several years, discount cards and books have become very popular because they actually work. Selling these items to donors actually gives them an opportunity to get something back from their donation. Plus, they save a few dollars going to a venue that they are attracted to. Of course, these can be very valuable, if they come from local merchants that are very popular, such as in restaurants, cinema, and the like.

Some may even get discount cards from mobile phone carriers, in the form of prepaid cards or phones. Alternatively, some may even get great results from big retailers that are always looking for ways to give back to their community. Other clever ideas involve raffle tickets. Many local merchants are looking for new customers, so a good many of them can be on board to provide free meals, free haircuts or styles, manicures or pedicures, and so on.

Other successful campaigns could include sporting event tickets up for grabs on the raffle tickets. More and more, it's becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for average consumers to get their hands on such tickets, so it could be a successful campaign. The important thing is to choose the right campaign and put in the right amount of effort.

Try to avoid repetition, as it becomes boring and over time, less successful. There are a variety of campaigns to pick from, such as one that includes crafts. Certainly, there could be numerous talented students with a flair for painting masterpieces. Put them on an online auction, and the rewards will be quite impressive, more often than not.

There are many people who would be proud to hang an original painting on their walls. Other talent can come through costume jewelry making. There are so many beautiful designs out there that many people would love to wear. Those making them only require good quality beads and a few other materials to make attractive and trendy necklaces, earrings, anklets and the like. Moreover, there are the all-important snack stalls that could be a campaign with great success.

In order for it to be a successful campaign, however, one has to find a high traffic location. It is this area that will provide more sales, and thus, generate more money. At the same time, those doing the baking should do their best to make them look tasty and enticing.

For decades, in movies and in neighborhoods all over North America, car washes lead in money raising campaigns for schools. These are still popular and can generate quite an amount of money over the course of a few days. A successful campaign should be planned according to the weather, and should last a few days. Again, a high traffic location is necessary to generate good income, as is some marketing to get as many as customers as possible.
