Surefire High School Fundraising Ideas

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.

Of late, discount cards have become extremely popular, and for many good reasons. Providing discount cards or even books from local merchants gives back to donors, helping them save a few bucks for things they really want. Depending on the company, discount cards can be free while others may charge a fee. What's important is that they can be very valuable, as they can come from popular restaurants, movie theaters, and so on.

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.

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.

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 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.

Tasty snacks can be whipped up in no time, but they always need to look as enticing as possible. This makes them very hard to resist. However, it's vital to set up shop in a very high traffic location. This way, students don't have to go door-to-door, as customers can simply come to them.

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.
