Fundraising Ideas


Question Posted Wednesday October 10 2007, 7:47 pm

For a senior class trip we are going to Grad night at Disney World in Florida. Anyway, the trip will be roughly $600 a person. As you can see, it's a pretty expensive trip. It's actually really good for all it includes (meals, bus, hotel, etc.)
Anyway, the students who are going need to come up with some fundraising ideas to help us lessen the price. Unlike with clubs and such we don't have any starting money. We need ideas where we can do things with nothing. (The school has NO money to start us out with and we don't want to risk losing money if the idea fails).
So, any suggestions would be really helpful.

We've come up with a car wash, but I live in NC and where I live there is a drought thing going on and there are water restrictions so it wouldn't be legal.
The trip is in April so if the restrictions are lifted by then we are going to do a teacher car wash or something along those lines.

Any other ideas? Remember, it has to be something we can do with no prior funds.

It's also a hassle to sell food because we aren't allowed to compete with the cafeteria lunch...

You could ask the teachers to participate fooball/basketball game and they could get sponsers (Thats if they are willing to help you out) The teachers playing against you. You all could collect sponsers to raise money.

You could host a talent competition, all you would need to organize are selling tickets and maybe booking the school hall.

Bakesales usually raise quite abit of money but you would need money to start off with to buy the cakes to sell.

You could do lots of little fundraising events to make more money.


Hope that helped and good luck with everything
Also Enjoy your trip to Florida!

ah what a situation, at least you guys go in a group, in my college we have to meet at the place that we need to go for our "feild trip" anywho if there's a 99 cent store near you there should be candy bars, like snikers, or kik kat bars. The big and small ones are about a buck each right? so buy a small some of candy and start chargeing people some of the regular prices when epople sell them. Big snikers is 2 or a 1.50 and the regular small ones are 1 . my Girfriend did it and made about 600 first 2 weeks. Like i said, just buy a small some, so if it works better than expected then go for it. Hope this helps and good luck

A Bake Sale.
Selling School Spirit Items.
Having a big Rummage Sale.
A Raffle of some sort.
Do something like, a baseball game or 3 mile run, and have every person get sponsers.

Example:
Baseball Game: Each person would find sponsers, and the sponser would sign up and award the person they are sponsering a dollar for every run scored or something. Have you ever done the Math-A-Thon as a younger kid? If so, something along those lines.
