Surefire High School Fundraising Ideas That Actually 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.

Some of the most popular fundraising efforts involve discount cards. The number one reason why they work so well is because the donor actually get something back for his donation. It can be a great discount on a good meal or a movie. The bottom line is that they're very valuable. However, it always depends on the company whether these discount cards are free or not, so shop around.

Some have even gotten successful campaigns running on mobile phone carrier discount cards. Whatever the case, there are always big retailers that are providing help to their communities. Another good way to raise money is through raffle tickets. This is another opportunity for local merchants to gain new customers, which is vital to their existence. Many restaurants, hair salons, nail salons, and the like are usually on board.

Don't ever forget about trying to include some major sporting event tickets on the raffle tickets. These can really be attractive and provide great results, since it's increasingly difficult and often out of reach for the average consumer to purchase event tickets. This way, they have a chance to win them. Whatever the case, be wise when choosing a campaign.

Be careful not to overdo the same campaign, as it will eventually grow tiresome and not achieve successful results. Therefore, it's recommended to make some important changes. For example, introduce crafts that would bring out the talent in numerous students that could actually paint. There could be an online auction to make it more interesting.

There are lots of art loving people in the community that would love to get an original painting for their home or business. Other such ideas for fundraising include costume jewelry making. All one needs is a little creativity, some fine silk thread, wire, and quality beads to make necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. Snacks stalls are also extremely popular, in all levels of education.

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.

A car wash is still a popular option as a campaign. However, a successful campaign requires the weather be cooperative. Today's technology allows for people to judge accordingly just what type of weather they're going to experience over the next week or two. For a successful campaign, keep it going for several days, choosing a high-volume location.
