One of the ways that this can be accomplished is via school fundraising , where an event or a sale’s profits go towards school programs.
Fund-raising choices are nearly limitless. The only real issue is that people usually have to be prepared to pay for the activity or product. Bake sales are customary, but things like recycling old ink jet printer cartridges can be easy and free, which is a great advantage.
Quite often, a list of fund-raising ideas is mostly food-related options. These range from the sale of home-baked goods produced by volunteers, to the sale of foods ordered in large quantities and marked up to be resold. Kits for baking well-liked items can also be put together from inexpensive ingredients and resold for a profit. The most popular foods for these kinds of sales are pastries, treats, candy, snacks, and all sorts of baked items.
Along with sales, events are another customary fund-raising option. Events include things like the famous walks and runs, where rather than sponsorship benefiting breast cancer research, it benefits your school, as well as more inventive choices. Read-a-thons are one of the less customary solutions, where children are sponsored to read books, as an alternative to going for a walk or running.
Uncommon fund-raisers may gather more attention from the local community, which is a big plus on the money-making front. Events like jail and bail, where participants allow themselves to be ‘jailed’ and then plead with people of the community for ‘bail, ‘ may attract more people than a customary bake sale or walk-a-thon.
No cost advertising can be had if you sell something with your school’s name and logo on it for your fund-raiser. Items like t-shirts, caps and bracelets, along with things like pins, can be sold and labeled with your school’s name and even a description of just what the money is going towards. Remember to choose an appropriate item for your specific market– parents, students, community members, etc.
