Interesting High School Fundraising Ideas That Work

By Tammie Caldwell


Fundraising is very important part of the education system, which raises money for schools to help their students pay for expensive field trips, yearbooks, and so much more. In addition to that, institutions need extra funds simply to provide activities to their students, and make their years more interesting through events. Below are some surefire high school fundraising ideas that can help students and staff alike be more successful in their efforts.

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.

Another great discount card idea is directly from mobile phone carriers. As virtually everyone has a mobile phone these days, it can be quite useful to the consumer. It's important for people to recognize that the big retailers do like to give back to their community because they are appreciated when they do. Other ways could involve raffle tickets. There are so many ways to earn good money from selling these, so long as there are attractive offers, such as from popular restaurants or salons.

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.

Repeating the same campaign over and again, however, might become tedious and less successful over time. So, change it up a bit. Crafts or another great way to raise funds. With so many talented students around, surely there are some that could paint some masterpieces for sale. They could go on an online auction, perhaps, or even be placed on display for an auction within the school.

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.

As it's been for decades, car washes are still popular, and can totally generate a good amount of money. The best way to make a successful campaign is to plan wisely around the weather. Make sure this campaign goes on for a few days, and choose an easy to get to location with lots of traffic volume. Also, ensure there is some marketing involved, such as by posting signs well in advance to give drivers a heads up.
