Better High School Fundraisers

How to make the most money for your school

To make the most of your high school fundraisers, you'll want to choose your events or activities carefully. There are a dizzying number of high school fundraising ideas to choose from and new ones are created all the time.

Traditional events like school dances and movie nights are Dances - high school fund raisersgreat money makers but tend to be difficult to implement because of their inherent complexity and the number of volunteers required. But that doesn't mean they should be avoided. Some of these events are important for other reasons besides money, including social interaction, camaraderie, etc.

To turbo charge your high school money raising efforts, consider adding on some of these powerful ideas. They can boost your school's income with little extra effort or can be used as standalone money makers.

The best ones offer some advantages that may not exist with traditional fundraising events, as follows:

  1. Fewer volunteers required - the less volunteers you need to run your fundraiser, the easier it will be.
  2. Residual income - This is a biggie. Any fundraising activity that provides a revenue stream months or years after the initial sale will outperform most others.
  3. Less time to manage - time is money and if you're spending a lot of it, you're getting a smaller return.
  4. No product storage or delivery - see #3.
  5. Larger prospective customer base - with an old style fundraiser event, your customers are limited to the community in which you live. The best fundraisers attract consumers from across the country or around the world.

Why limit your non profit money raising to the same old activities year after year. Catapult your earnings and give your buyers real value for their money, and be a hero for your school.
