We'll cover everything from online fundraisers to simple fundraising ideas that can be implemented right at school. So whether you're trying to raise money for a new club or replenish the funds for an existing one, read on for some helpful advice!

Before You Start

The first step in any fundraising effort is to sit down and consider your goals.

  • How much money do you need to raise?
  • When do you need to raise the money by?
  • Are there any restrictions on how you can raise the funds?

Once you know how much money you need to raise and a time frame in mind, you can start to create a plan of action. For that plan of action, you'll need to decide how you want to raise funds, and there are a variety of different and creative ways that you can do so.

Peer-To-Peer Fundraising

One popular method of fundraising is peer-to-peer fundraising. This type of fundraiser involves enlisting the help of others to reach your fundraising goals.

You can do this by asking family and friends to donate to your cause, or by setting up an online fundraiser that allows people to donate directly to your club.

Service Day

A great way to raise money for your club is by hosting a service day fundraiser. For this type of fundraiser, you can offer your services to the community in exchange for a donation.

This could be anything from a clean-up day to a volunteer day. By offering your services, you can not only raise money for your club but also help out your community!

Leaderboards

One way to motivate your club members to raise money is by setting up leaderboards. This is a great way to encourage friendly competition and get everyone involved in the fundraiser.

You can set up leaderboards in your school or community, and you can even offer prizes for the top fundraisers.  This is a great way to get people excited about raising money for your club!

Principal Challenge

Possibly one of the best ways to get the student body involved in a fundraising event is by doing a staff challenge. In this challenge, students vote with their dollars to determine a “punishment” for the principal.

Then, when students make an online donation, they can choose from a list of potential punishments to choose from. To do this, you'll need to set up a voting system (like an online poll or a jar for each idea).

Raffles & Auctions

Another popular way to raise money is by hosting raffles and auctions. Raffles are a great way to get people involved, and they can be a lot of fun! You can sell tickets for the raffle, and then offer prizes that people can win.

Auctions are a great way to raise money if you have items or services that you can auction off. You can ask local businesses to donate items for your raffle or auction, and you can even offer prizes for the winners. This is a great way to raise money and get people involved in your cause!

Matching Donations

One way to encourage people to donate to your club is by offering matching donations. This means that for every donation that someone makes, you will match it with another donation.

This is a great way to get people involved in your fundraiser, and it can help you raise a lot of money quickly! You can ask businesses or individuals to make matching donations, and you can even set up an online fundraiser that allows people to easily make matching donations.

Pizza Party

Lastly, you could raise money for your club by hosting a pizza party fundraiser. For this type of fundraiser, you can sell tickets to a pizza party, and then use the money to fund your club.You can also ask local businesses to donate pizzas for the party, and you can even offer prizes for the people who attend.
