Ideas for Fundraising at School - By: fundraising

When searching for ideas for fundraising at school there are many that come up: bake sales, book sales, chocolate sales, and many other ideas for fundraising where some kind of impersonal product or generic gift idea is pitched to help your school make money. Some of the fundraisers make some money, but none of them do fantastically well. One of the reasons they do not do as well as some other ideas for fundraising is that they are nothing noteworthy, and there is very little reason to be excited. The ideas for fundraising that cause excitement are the ones where the students are excited, and where the person receiving the gift is excited too, because it is something that they can use and has been personalized.

If you think about the kinds of gifts that make grandparents, parents, great aunts and uncles really excited is to receive a gift from their grandchild, child, great niece or nephew that is something handmade and something of significance. All of the ideas for fundraising that School Fundraising Canada creates are products that contain your child's artwork and family photos, adding a personal meaning to each of our ideas for fundraising. These wall plaques, magnets, trivets, coasters, pins, and art cards can be personalized with unique pieces of children's art, or even family and child photos.

One of the greatest benefits that schools receive when they use our ideas for fundraising is that there is no upfront cost, the fundraiser is easy to do, and there is a minimum 35% increase in fundraising profits. To make the fundraiser an even bigger success, if a school has every classroom and student involved in making special, theme-based pieces of art, any family that has multiple children will automatically be interested in ordering multiple products because they will want to put together complete "sets" of coasters, magnets, and cards to give away at Christmas time, and other events and holidays. This is far better than most other ideas for fundraising where a family might only buy one box of chocolates or one book; each family will spend money on multiple products, thus increasing the effectiveness and money making ability of the fundraiser.
