Before You Start: Check Your School Fundraising Policy

One thing that has changed in the not too distant past for parents and teachers looking for school fundraisers was the introduction of the school fundraising policy. These policies are designed to help you find appropriate fundraising ideas that have met the approval of the school board, the PTA, or even the state. And while they may seem like a burden or a hassle, especially if the program you want to do is on the list, knowing the school fundraising policy before you ever start planning your fund raiser can save you a lot of headaches, and can even help you raise more money.

To start, you will want to begin in one of two ways – you can either pick a bunch of school fundraising ideas that appeal to you and then take them to whoever is in charge of the school fundraising policy to see which ones can be approved or you familiarize yourself with the policy beforehand to help you narrow down your choices. We suggest the second route because it saves a lot of time in the long run.

School fundraising policies exist for many reasons but they are primarily concerned with the health and safety of the students. For example, quite a few schools have a fundraising policy that bans the sale of sugary or fattening snack foods on school grounds and for school fund raisers. It can be frustrating, especially if the policy is brand new, but these policies almost always lead the people in charge of raising money to think outside of the box and find creative ways to raise funds. And when you get creative, you tend to raise more money because there is an added level of energy.
