Interesting High School Fundraising Ideas That Work

By Tammie Caldwell


In the education system, and with everything getting so expensive, fundraising is a vital part of helping students pay for events, field trips, and so on. In addition to that, the institutions themselves actually need some extra funds to help students experience school with activities, as it should be. With financial cuts here and there, it's becoming increasingly difficult. However, below, find some interesting high school fundraising ideas that work.

In the last several years, discount cards and books have become very popular because they actually work. Selling these items to donors actually gives them an opportunity to get something back from their donation. Plus, they save a few dollars going to a venue that they are attracted to. Of course, these can be very valuable, if they come from local merchants that are very popular, such as in restaurants, cinema, and the like.

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.

Other successful campaigns could include sporting event tickets up for grabs on the raffle tickets. More and more, it's becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for average consumers to get their hands on such tickets, so it could be a successful campaign. The important thing is to choose the right campaign and put in the right amount of effort.

Be careful not to overdo the same campaign, as it will eventually grow tiresome and not achieve successful results. Therefore, it's recommended to make some important changes. For example, introduce crafts that would bring out the talent in numerous students that could actually paint. There could be an online auction to make it more interesting.

There are many people who would be proud to hang an original painting on their walls. Other talent can come through costume jewelry making. There are so many beautiful designs out there that many people would love to wear. Those making them only require good quality beads and a few other materials to make attractive and trendy necklaces, earrings, anklets and the like. Moreover, there are the all-important snack stalls that could be a campaign with great success.

It's easy enough to prepare tasty snacks that can be sold in a high traffic location that will generate a good amount of sales. This way, students stay in one location, and customers come to them. The important thing is to make them look enticing.

A car wash is still a popular option as a campaign. However, a successful campaign requires the weather be cooperative. Today's technology allows for people to judge accordingly just what type of weather they're going to experience over the next week or two. For a successful campaign, keep it going for several days, choosing a high-volume location.
