List of Fundraising Ideas - Tips for Fundraiser Activities and Events

Are you looking for a useful list of fundraising ideas?

Many organizations, clubs, and other groups benefit from fundraising efforts. However, whether through formal events or individual sales, executing a fundraiser can be a complex task.

Thus, excellent planning is integral to a fundraiser's success, and planning begins with a great fundraising idea. If you need a list of fundraising ideas, here are a few suggestions to get your fundraising started.

Individual Sales

A relatively simple and efficient fundraiser is one that's based upon individual sales. Members of your group can take it upon themselves to raise funds, and with proper incentives, this fundraiser is often very successful.

Of course, because there are so many companies that offer products for fundraising, selecting a product (or line of products) for your fundraiser can become a difficult task. Examples of products may include:

• Cookie dough
• Pizza
• Candy
• Discount cards
• Gift wrap
• Holiday-oriented items
• ..and many others

There are several questions that may make it easier to narrow down your fundraiser options from a list of fundraising ideas. One thing to consider is the "market" for your product - for instance, by imagining who will be purchasing your fundraiser products, what their budget may be, and so forth.

Another thing to consider when choosing from a list of fundraising ideas is the operation of your fundraiser, by asking questions such as: Who will be selling this product? That is, determine the way the fundraiser will function - if for example you're planning a school fundraiser, you may want to choose a lower-cost product, so that children will not be handling very large sums of money.

Selecting the right product is a great foundation for a sales-driven fundraiser, and after this important step is taken, automating the fundraiser is a fairly straightforward process that makes for a relatively stress-free (and potentially very successful) fundraising experience.

Fundraising Event

Many organizations choose to plan an event to raise additional funds. While this can be a fundraising idea that requires a larger time commitment, it also has a large potential for success. Of course, depending upon resources and limitations such as potential participation, venue availability, and so on, there are a wide variety of events that can be held for fundraising. Here is a list of fundraising ideas that are some of the options you could consider:

• A dinner
• A contest of sorts (e.g. a dancing contest featuring members of the organization or prominent local figures)
• A run, walk, or relay
• A concert or other performance art

There are many other options to consider, as this type of fundraiser offers many opportunities for creativity - and efforts are sure to be reflected in the fundraiser's outcome.

A Group Sale

The difficulties of individual sales such as wavering motivation or insufficient participation can be remedied with a group-centered sale. Whether a bake sale, car wash, or lottery, there are many choices that compel participation and teamwork - these are factors that will, in turn, help to ensure the fundraiser's success. Here is list of fundraising ideas which are group-oriented in nature:

• Recycling drive - items for which there is a "deposit" (i.e. cans and / or bottles) are collected and returned.
• Craft fair - group members collaborate to make, sell, and advertise crafts.
• Karaoke night - a small admission fee is charged for a karaoke party that all can enjoy (this may work with other activity nights, as well).

Regardless of the fundraising idea you choose, exploring options in the brainstorming process is a surefire way to begin a successful fundraiser. Considering these ideas is a great way to begin this endeavor!
