Most school clubs and organizations are poorly funded through the school and often need to turn to outside help to raise the funds necessary for the group to operate.
Here are a few fundraising ideas perfect for school organizations.
Car washes are always a big hit during the summer.
Most people don't have the time or desire to wash their cars by hand and welcome the opportunity to let someone else do it.
Many businesses will let you set up a car wash free of charge in their parking lot if it is benefiting a school group.
Raking leaves in the fall is another great idea.
Hang up flyers around the community advertising the service and set up a couple of Saturdays to get the job done.
If you get enough responses, you may even need to add an extra day or two to get it all done.
Selling shirts is another easy way to raise some money.
Custom Sweatshirts are a favorite among many school supporters.
They are perfect to wear to the football game on Friday nights or even to wear around the house while doing yard work on a Saturday afternoon.
This is perfect for art clubs- the club can create the design.
A final idea is to sell products in which the club or organization gets to keep the profits.
Many home party companies offer fundraising programs to help you raise the money you need.
Just be sure to check around and find out which products are going to earn the group the most money.
There is no point in going to all of that effort for a few dollars.
