In the world of fundraising, no definition of a group is as broad as or encompassing as Non Profit. A non profit group can be an animal shelter or some parents who need help with an adoption. It can be a relay for life team or a group dedicated to helping individuals pay for medical care. So many groups fall into the category of non profit that we at Go Green Fundraising felt a need to offer some high profit non profit fundraising ideas.
A non profit group is one whose goal is not to make money but to provide for its members or a...
When we say Club Fundraising, we are referring to fundraisers for an organization not associated with a school, a church, or sports team. The most common clubs who host club fundraisers on a recurring basis are organizations like the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts, and People to People Student Ambassadors among many others. These groups often rely heavily on fundraising efforts to cover their operating costs and to continue to offer the great experiences they provide.

Passionate is probably the best word to describe Booster Club parents. They are passionate about their student and their students’ success. They are passionate about the activity their student is participating in. And, they are passionate about the school their student attends. Besides the many, many other things they do for a school organization, they will do Booster Club fundraising programs to raise money that the group needs for all kinds of projects or events. Whether it’s an end of season banquet for a Football Team or new uniforms for the Band, many very important activities own their continuance to the Booster...
Most fundraising efforts are to help people but Animal Shelters and Humane Societies do non profit fundraisers to raise money to help those without voices, the abandoned and sick animals. Running an animal shelter is not cheap with food, rent, salaries, and vet bills costing many thousands of dollars every month.
Humane Societies and Animal Shelters rely heavily on donations to stay in business. During down economic times they are usually the first and hardest hit and quickly lose the ability to continue protecting and caring for the lost animals.

Basketball is one of America’s favorite sports. Literally millions of kids play basketball every year, whether on an organized team or just on the playground at school. Most organized teams will have an annual basketball fundraising to help pay for team expenses like uniforms and refreshments and tournament fees. For some private or club teams, these sports fundraisers raise enough money to even offer scholarships to players who may not be able to afford to pay to join the team.
While basketball may seem like 10 kids, a ball, and 2 baskets, it actually requires much more than that to play in...
Science Clubs are awesome; there is no doubt about it. No other group of students gets to play with fire, liquid nitrogen, acids, solar cells, do dissections, shoot rockets, launch pumpkins and just generally get to do things that you otherwise could never do in a public school. Belonging to the science club also looks great on a college application. Even with membership fees, many science clubs can not afford to do all of the fun and educational things they get to do, they must supplement their money with science club fundraisers. But what kind of programs make the best...
There are very few things more exciting in the development of a church than when it outgrows its walls and the need arises for a new building. This is such a blessing from God and is a visible sign of the work he is doing in the community. When it comes time to raise money for a church building fund, the pastor will often call on the church body to make special contributions that can made directly to the building fund. Many times however, unless the church has excellent financial backing, the building fund money will need to be supplemented...
It is incredibly common for people and organizations to do military fundraisers to support our troops during times of war and active combat. There are all kinds of reasons to raise money for members of the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force. Sometimes people raise money to bring home a service member for a holiday, during a leave, or to witness the birth of their child. Other times people will raise money to send care packages to military members on active duty. Whatever the reason, doing military non profit fundraisers is a very noble thing and can make a big difference to...
An orchestra can do phenomenal things with just four instruments. Doing so, however, requires many, many hours of practice, finely tuned instruments, and a great conductor. But, none of those things come cheaply. Instruments can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Good conductors and orchestra teachers can command a premium. If you have found this page, you are probably looking for great orchestra fundraising ideas that you can use to raise money for the orchestra. Go Green Fundraising has a number of school fundraisers that fit the bill perfectly.

Teachers and administrators can only dream of being able to instill the kind of work ethic and team work in their students that sports and athletics teams do. Coaches and sports just seem to have a way of building athletes into hard working and responsible people. Most athletics teams and sports teams associated with a school receive money from the district for coach salaries, equipment, and facilities. However, few teams find the supplied funding sufficient and they will often do school sports team fundraisers to help supplement their funds. Often, these team based school fundraisers are the only way for...
Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller and is a terrific organization that provides new houses to deserving, low-income families. Statistically, the difference in the quality of life and the level of education between someone who receives a Habitat for Humanity house and someone who doesn’t is staggering. The houses are built by volunteers with most of the costs being covered by donations. If you are looking for Habitat for Humanity fundraising ideas that you can use to bring in money for your local Habitat office, you have come to the right place. Go...
Helping the school and so many others often requires the student council to coordinate student council fundraisers, typically more than one every year. Go Green Fundraising offers a number of excellent student council fundraising ideas that can be used to help pay for all of the projects. This is one of the best ways for students to gain leadership experience and to make their impact on the school.
The student council at many schools, besides coordinating events like homecoming and prom, will do community service projects. For example, the student council at one school raised money for a local homeless shelter,...
It is no secret that Girl Scout cookies are not exactly healthy. It is also not a secret that America is facing an epidemic when it comes to obesity with nearly 2/3 of Americans being considered at least overweight. And, while Girl Scout cookies are still incredibly popular, 2009 marked the first time ever that overall sales were down. This reflects both a bad economy and a population that is becoming more and more conscious of what they are putting in their bodies.
So what is a Girl Scout troop to do when they need to raise money if a cookie...
One of the most important things to consider when you are planning your fundraising program is what method you are going to use to motivate your sellers. There are all kinds of tried and true methods of motivation but the one that hands down works the best is raising money for something the participants really, REALLY want and a Playground Equipment Fundraiser is far and away the most fun and motivating reason to have school fundraisers!
As the fundraising coordinator or committee member, you know that playground equipment fund raisers really get the kids and their parents excited. And you know that you will...
Many school boards, PTA’s and PTO’s are coming to the conclusion that if they are going to make the time commitment and put forth the amount of effort necessary to successfuly raise money, the school should find fundraising ideas for an elementary school that offer some kind of bigger message than just “help us raise money” and so they are starting to search for better elementary school fundraising ideas.
That is where we at Go Green Fundraising come in. Our earth friendly school fundraisers are designed to offer you an elementary school fundraisers with great products and competitive profit levels; but they are also designed to be integrated...
Social clubs exist for all kinds of reasons. There are shopping clubs, ladies club, gun clubs, poker clubs – you name it and there is probably a social club dedicated to it. While many of these clubs are small or focused on a single activity, like playing poker, others are organized to do charity work or to donate to a specific cause and that is where social club fundraisers become so important.
Social Club Fundraisers
Many social clubs will do something such as a Boys and Girls Club fundraising program or a Breast Cancer fundraiser to try and raise money for a specific...
Many groups are looking for creative fundraising ideas to help spruce up their next fundraising effort. With so many groups working hard to raise money and most of them using the same basic programs, it just makes a lot of sense to find creative and new fundraising ideas to differentiate your group from the others and to help boost sales.
While there are a lot of gimmicky and "no effort required" fund raisers advertised and promoted by various companies, anyone who has ever been part of a successful fundraiser knows that work will be involved and that gimmicks almost never work. So when you are...
Because it is rare for an entire high school to do just one fundraiser, most high school fundraising ideas are almost always going to be done by groups of students with 10-100 members. High school fundraisers range from band fundraisers to football fund raisers to student council fundraising programs. And while it may appear on the surface that all of these groups would have different needs, the basic ideas behind the ways they raise money and the tips on how to make them the most successful will be similar because the groups are similar at their core.
For probably the first time in...
Are you looking for the best fundraising idea? Of course you are. You want to raise as much money as possible for your organization and that requires that you find the best fundraising ideas and put them to good use. But is there really a ‘best’ fundraising idea?
It would be incredibly difficult to determine just one fund raiser idea that is the across the board best program for every single group. That is because there are just so many different kinds of groups raising money for so many different reasons, in different areas, with different demographics. But while all of...
Most groups who are looking for fundraising ideas tend to not have much, if any, money on hand to pay to start a fundraiser. Does that sound like the situation you find yourself in? It is the reason why free fundraising ideas are so popular. Free fund raising ideas are programs where the group doesn’t have to pay anything to start.
Free fundraising ideas are nearly always what is known as a pre sell fund raiser. This means that you will use brochures and order forms to make sales. You will take your customers money at the time of the sale and then use that...
The two most common ways that people participate in fundraising programs is with school fundraisers and sports fundraisers. And while raising money for the school is very important to participants, it can be less personal than programs done for sports teams. These efforts can directly and immediately impact a team’s ability to even be able to practice and that is why finding great sports fundraising ideas is so vital.
The best sports fundraising ideas are ones that can be done during the season, that have high profits, and that are fun to do. You also need to consider that for teams...
People all over the country are taking a new look at the kinds of fundraising programs they are willing to let their children participate in. With health concerns and the ever increasing competition from other fundraising groups, it just makes sense to find new youth fundraising ideas that help you raise more money. But how do you go about finding fundraisers that are better than those that you did in the past? And how do you know which ones will be successful? These questions are important to ask because let’s face it, you are fundraising to raise money.

Doesn’t it always seem like the best things in life are the simple things? When ideas or plans get complicated and hard to understand they just never seem to perform as well as those ideas that are simple. This acronym K.I.S.S - keep it simple silly - definitely holds true for fundraising and for fundraising ideas. Groups who need help paying for things are finding that when they choose simple fundraising ideas that they raise more money with less effort in a shorter period of time than ever before.
The things that have made fundraiser ideas complicated in the past have been convoluted profit...
Looking for big fundraising ideas? Do you want a fundraising program that takes things to the next level? Do the old fashioned fundraising ideas just seem boring and outdated to you? And do you wish your fundraisers could be about more than just raising money?
If your answer to those questions is ‘yes’ then we are the fundraising company for you! At Go Green Fundraising we realized that the old fashioned fundraiser ideas like cookie dough and candy sales were just plain boring, not to mention unhealthy, and that people were tired of doing them. We also know, from experience, just...
One really smart way to boost the success of your fundraising program is to schedule some fundraising events that will accompany your sale. These events are designed to inform participants about the fundraisers and to get them motivated about selling. Most groups will host some kind of kickoff event before the sale begins so that the sellers know why they are raising money, what their goals are, and when the money needs to be turned in. But some groups are finding that having multiple events can dramatically increase their profits and can even help with finding new fundraising ideas. So...
Many groups who need to raise money start the process by deciding what kind of fundraising ideas they want to do. Obviously there are alot of questions that go into answering the questions of "which fundraiser is right for us?" and there are nearly as many answers. But, as more and more groups host the traditional fundraisers, cookie dough, candy, wrapping paper, car washes, etc, some groups are looking for new fundraising ideas to set themselves apart from all of the other groups. Go Green Fundraising is here to provide you with some really exciting new fundraising ideas with products that your customers will be...
The very vast majority of fundraising programs and events are done by schools and sports leagues that, coincidentally, all tend to do their school fundraisers and sports fundraisers in the fall when their year and season is just kicking off. But many groups are finding that if they utilize some spring fundraising ideas, they can avoid the mad fund raising rush that grips the country ever fall.
Now, you must be mindful that if you switch and ONLY do spring fundraising ideas that you may need to budget more carefully because that money will likely have to carry over into the next...
Teams of all shapes and sizes raise money for all kinds of reasons. From the little league baseball team raising money to buy their first bats and gloves to the professional sports teams raising money for a charity event, nearly every sports team in the country engages in some sort of fundraising activity. For the vast majority of teams the fact is that these events and programs are absolutely necessary for them to continue to compete and that is why finding good team fundraising ideas is an absolute must.
Go Green Fundraising understands that your team needs high profits, great products, low minimums...

There is a segment of the fundraising world that has historically been grossly underrepresented. In the past, individuals and small groups looking for fundraising ideas had to deal with low profits, high minimums, and faced steep shipping charges on their orders. It was nearly impossible for groups with less than 25 or so members to make a decent profit on their fundraisers, but not anymore. With the small groups and individual fundraising ideas from Go Green Fundraising, groups as small as a single individual can raise the money they need with a great product line.
Our most popular individual fundraising idea...
For most groups and organizations, their fundraising efforts are extremely important. For some groups, raising money is absolutely vital to being able to continue to meet and pursue the purpose of the group, whether it is to buy new uniforms with a soccer fundraiser or to support cancer research with a Relay for Life fundraiser. So with so much riding on the success of their fundraisers, groups are always seeking out the top fundraising ideas. They want to find fundraising ideas with high profits, low minimums, little or no start up costs, and perhaps most importantly, fundraisers with a product line...
One of the most important high school student organizations in the country is the Key Club. As the youth affiliate of the Kiwanis International, Key Club members focus exclusively on public service projects and doing work in their communities. And with over 5,000 chapters spread all over the country, they are making a serious impact. A big part of being able to perform these community service projects is having the money to actually see them through to completion and that is why Key Club fundraisers are so important.
Go Green Fundraising is excited to offer a number of socially and environmentally...
One of the really tough things about cancer is that there are just so many different kinds of the disease with different types of treatments for each of them. Some require surgery, others chemo and there are a whole slew of other ways that doctors are trying to treat and prevent cancer. But because there are so many different kinds of cancer, it means that there is a lot of need for money to further the study of cancer treatments. That is why we at Go Green Fundraising are so excited to have our line of eco friendly cancer fundraising...
It does not matter if you attend a church with tens of thousands of members or one with fewer than a hundred, there are three things that are absolutely necessary to accomplish any plans that the church might make. The first is the Lord's favor. The second is the need for church members who are willing to volunteer their time and energy towards accomplishing the goals. The third is money. Without proper funding even the best plans can fall flat. Of course, with the guidance of the Lord anything is possible. With that in mind, we have come up with a number...
One of the most proven ways to boost sales during your school fundraisers is to keep everyone involved with the program excited, motivated, and informed. By taking the time to do these three things, you greatly improve the chances of having your best school fundraiser ever and raising the most money possible. ‘But how do I do all of that?’ you may be asking yourself and the answer is that it is really quite simple. By utilizing school fundraiser events you can accomplish all three objectives at the same time.
The most common version of a school fundraiser event is a...
You know, sometimes, it is the unusual fundraising ideas that end up bringing in the most money. And that makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
Most of the ways that people tend to raise money are just the same old fundraising ideas done over and over again and people are growing tired of them. But if you can offer them something that is unusual but still useful, of high quality, and offer it at a fair price, you will be really on to something.
While there are no official statistics on the numbers of groups who do fundraisers, much less...
For many school fundraisers the fact of the matter is that buying a fundraising product and paying for it up front just isn't an option. There just isn't enough money in the treasury to cover the initial outlay. And with shrinking school budgets and ever increasing costs, who can blame them? No, what most schools are looking for when they search for fundraising ideas are free school fundraisers.
There are really two kinds of free school fundraising programs; those that do not cost anything but time like a car wash, and those that do not cost anything to start. In this case,...
The search for school fundraisers ideas seems to be a never ending one. With parents of young students joining and older student’s parent leaving PTA’s and new school being built and new school board mandated fundraising regulations, there are all kinds of reasons that a school might search for new fundraising ideas.
When you search for a new school fundraising program you first need to verify with the school board whether or not there are any restrictions on the types of school fundraisers ideas you can use or times of the year when raising money is prohibited. One thing to keep in mind as you...
What are the easiest fund raisers? Glad you asked. The easiest fund raisers are obviously the ones that require the least amount of effort right? Of course they are. Case closed. But isn’t the point of doing fundraisers to raise money? And if you are going to put forth the effort to plan, coordinate and manage a fundraising program, don’t you want to raise as much money as possible? Of course you do.
It has been my experience that the fund raisers that require very little effort end up having very small returns. And if your fund raiser doesn’t raise very...
Soccer is one of America’s most popular youth sports and as such there are many, many players who participate in soccer fund raising programs. Obviously soccer teams need to raise money to pay for uniforms, trophies, equipment, travel, and membership dues in soccer leagues and soccer fundraisers are often a major part of raising the money to pay for those expenses. But have you ever wondered how to maximize the amount of money your fundraisers can raise? And have you ever considered what makes the best soccer fundraisers?
Go Green Fundraising is home to more eco friendly soccer fundraising programs than anyone else and...

We will start out with some fundraising programs that are free to start and then move on to our high profit fundraisers.
Free to Start Ideas for Fundraisers
Free fundraisers are those programs that utilize brochures. They are also known as pre-sell fundraisers because you collect orders and money before you actually pay for any products making them absolutely risk free for your organization.
Coffee and Tea...
When you pick fundraisers for kids, especially kids that are in kindergarten or preschool, your fundraiser has to be incredibly fun. It also needs to be profitable and easy to sell, but the fun factor has proven time and time again to greatly improve the effectiveness of school fundraisers for young children.
Smart parents though have started looking for fundraising options that are not only fun, profitable, and highly marketable, they have also started choosing school fundraising ideas that are educational. The reasoning goes that if you are going to spend the time to raise money and motivate the kids to help sell,...
One of the biggest concerns of anyone who is doing a fundraiser is ‘how much profit do I get to keep?’ This is obviously a fair question to ask as the whole point of fundraisers is to raise as much money as possible and the higher the profit percentage that is offered, the more money your organization gets to keep. We understand that concern and have put together some fantastic high profit fundraisers for you to pick from.
Before we get into the actual fundraising programs and their profit margins I want to make one thing abundantly clear – with Go Green...
An often overlooked group that is always in need of money is the children who are home schooled. Whether they belong to a homeschooling organization that provides learning materials and training to parents, or develop their own curriculum, home schools have financial burdens experienced by few other organizations. This means that the home school fundraisers that they do have a special importance for the students.
Typically, when a family or a group does home school fundraisers, they do not have the hundreds of people who can go out and sell like you do with public school fundraising. It is usually just...
One of the most common questions asked about fundraisers is ‘how much does this cost to start?’ It turns out that most people who ask this question are actually looking for free fundraisers. And that makes a lot of sense because most people who are doing a fundraising program are trying to raise money because their organization doesn’t have much to spend out of pocket without doing a fundraiser. It’s kind of a catch 22 if you think about it, sort of the "you need money to make money" thing.
The point of all of this is to say that Go...
We understand that when it comes to band fundraisers your band expects the best. Being in the band is very expensive and that means that you need to raise a lot of money which means that you take your fundraisers very seriously. You expect to have high profit fundraisers, the best products and the best customer service possible. And we are happy to provide it for you.
At Go Green Fundraising we have taken the traditional approach to fundraisers that you are accustomed to and have added a twist that is leading to improved sales for bands around the country. You...
There are all kinds of reasons to do Christian fundraisers. From mission trip fundraising to church building fund fundraising to simply raising money to feed the homeless, there is almost always something you need to raise money for when you are an involved and active Christian. It just comes with the territory.
Obviously the majority of the things that require funding for Christians will be covered, or at least subsidized, by the money the church collects during the weekly offering. But when that funding is not enough, or if there is a special project, many people will look for some great ideas for Christian...

For a bunch of different reasons, people who need to raise money are starting to look for alternatives to candy fundraisers. And it’s not only candy they are avoiding but all of the fundraisers with sugary or unhealthy products. Even the world famous Girl Scout cookies saw their first ever decline in sales in 2008. This desire to have more choices for fundraising ideas was one of the main reasons that Go Green Fundraising was founded.
We have developed a number of fundraising ideas that are great alternatives to candy fundraisers. Some of them are food based and some are not but all...
Want to know the secret to successful middle school fundraisers? It isn’t prize programs and it sure isn’t just sticking with the same old fundraising ideas. The secret to having a great middle school fundraising program is to find a great product with high profits and low minimums. ‘Well DUH!’ you might say to yourself. Every group that is trying to raise money wants those things but where can they be found?
Go Green Fundraising has the answer. We offer a number of high profit middle school fundraisers with proven product lines that offer more than 50% profit and some with as much as 70% profit...
Drums are expensive. Horns are expensive. Uniforms are expensive. Music is expensive. Travel is expensive. Nearly every single facet of a high school band costs a lot of money and for the most part the schools and the parents cannot afford to cover all of the costs on their own. Many of the traditional school fundraisers that they have used in the past to help cover the costs are losing their luster or being banned outright (such as with cookie dough sales). That is why so many bands participate in one of the high school band fundraisers from Go Green Fundraising.
Bands are...
Having worked in the fundraising industry for some time now I would say that there are nearly as many individual fundraisers as there are group fundraisers. What I mean by that is that there are a whole bunch of people out there who are raising money for something they are passionate about and they are doing it all by themselves. A couple of examples of reasons that an individual would do fundraisers on their are to cover medical bills, to pay for a mission trip, or to donate money to a charity.
Doing individual fundraisers is like running a business though and to be successful...
Because cancer is such a wide spread disease, there are a lot of people who are looking for cancer fundraising ideas. They often want to know about the best cancer fundraisers and how to go about doing a cancer fundraising program themselves.
The best cancer fundraisers are ones that leave people with a positive feeling. Cancer is such a terrible disease and causes so much pain and grief that people really just want something happy and fun to sell. Really good cancer fundraisers and fundraising ideas do more than just raise money to cover medical expenses or to help pay for...
The Future Farmers of America is a fantastic organization. Comprised of students with a desire to continue the great agricultural tradition of our country, the FFA currently has more than half of a million students as active members spread out among nearly 8,000 local chapters. The FFA is focused on providing its members leadership, personal growth, and career development opportunities in all aspects of agriculture.
One pressing need faced by all chapters of the FFA is the need to raise money. But, every year when fundraising season rolls around, there never seems to be any FFA specific fundraising ideas. At least...
Whether coming from a military family or having a passion to defend our nation or just needing some structure to help focus their lives, thousands of high school students join and participate in JROTC activities every year. Doing so can be a life changing experience with many JROTC members committing to serve in one of the military branches upon graduation from high school or college. But, as with all organizations in high school, the JROTC needs to raise money for group activities.
Many JROTC's offer their members the option of participating in drill teams, rifle teams, color guards, and drum corps....
Besides maybe free fundraisers, the holy grail of fundraising is to find quick and easy fundraising ideas. Every group that needs to raise money wants to do so in the fastest, easiest, and most profitable way possible. But does a fund raiser really exist that offers an easy to sell product that doesn’t require any special treatment that can be done in a very short period of time while still managing to raise enough money to make a difference?
You better believe there is and this product is called Smencils. It’s a funny name, we know, but once you learn about...
Eco friendly fundraising ideas are our specialty here at Go Green Fundraising. As you could probably guess by our name, the idea behind every fundraiser and fundraising idea you will find on this site is going green and being healthy.
Until recently, the only options you had to raise money were asking for donations, selling candy or cookie dough, doing a car wash or having a bake sale. But now Go Green Fundraising is excited to have a full line of eco friendly fundraising ideas all of which are healthy and good for the planet.
Take, for example, the original eco friendly fundraising idea; the...
There are all kinds of school fundraisers that you can choose from; the question is which of the many different fundraisers is right for you and your school? That will depend almost entirely on what kind of school or schoo group you are raising money for. Is it an elementary school fundraising program with hundreds of young participants or is it a high school student council fundraiser that will be done by 10-15 students? The fundraising needs of these two groups are similar in some ways and incredibly different in others but the fact remains that both need to raise money...
When you searched for free church fundraising ideas you probably didn’t want to stumble onto a list of ideas that you didn’t have to pay to view. Instead, you probably want some church fundraisers and fundraising ideas that do not cost anything to start and we have a wide range of just such fund raisers.
But most churches that are trying to raise money are doing so to pay for things like mission trips or feeding the needy or even to add on to the building and they are raising in the name of work they are doing for the Lord. For that...
Most of the fundraisers in America are done during the fall and the spring when schools and sports teams are most active. But that doesn’t mean that fundraising stops during the summer. In fact, groups of all kinds ranging from church youth groups to animal shelters still do fund raisers during the summer. Some of the more competitive sports teams and even some school based clubs will raise money year round to take some of the load off during times when they are most busy. All of this has lead to a big need for summer fundraising ideas.
The problem that a...
One of the groups that have been hit hardest by recently rolled out restrictions on food sold for sports fundraisers has been football teams. Football teams have relied heavily on selling cookie dough over the years and that revenue stream is being cut off because of school board mandates banning the sale of sugary or unhealthy food items on school grounds or for school fundraisers. And while booster club fundraising programs can help cover a lot of expenses, sometimes the team just has to buckle down and raise some money on their own. So what are you supposed to do for...
When you are raising money to add on to the church, for a mission trip, or for a special project at church you will probably start your fundraising efforts by looking for some Christian fundraising ideas. At Go Green Fundraising, we have defined Christian fundraising ideas as those that are uplifting and that fulfill the duty of man as stewards and protectors of the gifts that the Lord has given us. To that end, all of our Christian fundraisers feature items that are healthy, organic, good for the planet, or green in nature. And every single one of the programs is designed to...
Libraries have to be constantly updated to remain effective. By adding new books and stocking periodicals libraries continue to be a great source for learning about a wide variety of topics. The costs associated with updating a library can be staggering though. The periodicals alone can cost several hundred or even thousands of dollars a year and you haven't even begun to look at buying new books.
Most libraries cannot rely only on the funding provided by the school and instead will often look for school library fundraising ideas to help bring in the money they need. Sometimes a PTA or PTO will...
Things will have gotten very competitive by the time you have reached a varsity level high school sports team. Continuing to improve you skills and conditioning and win requires a high level of natural talent, hours of practice, and the best equipment. And as the stakes get higher, so does the amount of travel that you will do to find other high level competitors. Doing all of this can require a large sum of money and the utilization of some high school sports fundraisers.

Want to know the most fundamental step you can take to nearly guarantee that your school fundraisers will be successful? Of course you do! The one thing that has proven itself far and away the most valuable step in raising money is to develop a detailed plan for your fund raiser. Planning your school fundraisers can prevent a lot of headaches and for many schools leads to substantially higher sales.
The first step in planning your school fund raiser is to determine that are actually going to raise money. School fundraising is pretty much a fact of life for most schools...
One of the oldest tactics that people use with school fundraisers to try and get students to sell more and boost their profits is to offer fundraising prizes. The thinking has typically gone that by offering some kind of incentive program, the students will naturally sell more. But does it really work? And is it possible that these prize programs can actually hurt your results?
Based on our experience with thousands of schools all over the country, school fundraising prizes do little to help you raise more money. In fact, because the money to pay for these prizes has to come from...
Outside of a very small group of individuals, there just aren’t a lot of people who are extremely experienced in planning, organizing, and managing church fundraisers. In fact, almost every single person who involves themselves in church fundraising does so in their spare time as a way to give back to the church. So it is completely understandable to want some help with planning church fundraisers.
Having a good plan in place before you ever start trying to raise money can make the whole process much easier and more productive so it really makes a lot of sense to spend your...
For groups like the Cub Scouts, the club fundraisers they do need to reflect the core values of their organization. If you belonged to a team that raised money to help people with weight loss surgery you wouldn’t want to sell cookie dough. In the very same way, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts shouldn’t want to sell anything unhealthy, irresponsible, or any way damaging to the environment, community, or their bodies. But you also need to keep things simple and that is why many are finding a lot of success with our easy and green cub scout fundraisers.
Green fundraising is absolutely...
Eco friendly fundraisers have really changed the way that a lot of people look at fundraising. Instead of regarding fundraisers as a burden or an obstacle, groups are now finding ways to raise money with programs that better fit their needs.
There are some great examples of groups discovering eco friendly fundraisers and realizing the benefits of raising money in an earth friendly way. One of the best examples can be seen in Boy Scouts fundraising. This is an organization founded on the principles of self reliance, social responsibility, and respect for the environment. For some reason a cookie dough fundraiser just...
There are smart ways to do school fundraisers and there are some not so smart ways to raise money for a school. Most of the not smart fundraisers come about when the school settles for the same old programs they have always done and for the same old results they have always seen. How many times have you heard something like “Last year we sold cookie dough so that’s what we should do this year” versus how often do you hear “The fundraiser last year was good but what other ideas could we use to raise even more money this...
One way that a Christian group can stack the cards in their favor when they are looking for ways to raise money is to check out popular Christian fundraising ideas. It’s sort of the ‘if it works for them it should work for us too’ routine and it is actually one of the most effective ways to pick Christian fundraisers.
It is especially smart to look at what kinds of church fundraisers are most often chosen and to think about the reasons why they are picked. Most of the popular Christian fundraising ideas have easy to sell products that are typically some...
Most anyone who has worked on or participate in elementary school fundraising knows that the time commitment to have a successful program is immense. The team who is in charge of raising money, if they want to raise a lot of money, will have to work hard. There just isn’t any way around that. But what if you could find elementary school fundraising ideas that work just as hard, if not harder, than you do? What if your school fundraisers did more than just act as a road towards a fatter piggy bank while still making a plump pig?
There has...
The internet has changed the face of fundraising as much as it has changed any industry. Instead of relying word of mouth or whatever programs you could find locally, groups can now pick from thousands of fundraising ideas and find the perfect program for their group and their needs. They can even research those ideas to get a better idea of how much money they can expect to raise before they ever start any fundraising activities.
Better still is the fact that you can now conduct your entire fund raiser on the internet. That’s right, with online fundraising ideas like our...
As an individual trying to raise money you have probably already run into one of the big dilemmas that all people raising money by themselves run into – there just aren’t many options available that you can realistically do. Sure, there are thousands of fundraisers you could pick from, but nearly all of them have some kind of minimum that is nearly impossible to reach when you are raising money alone. What you need then, it would seem, are some easy fundraisers for individuals that either have extremely low minimums or no minimums at all. They also need to return...
Tired of always seeing the same old fundraising ideas? Really wishing there was something new and cool and fun that you could do to raise money? You’re not alone. Every year, literally tens of thousands of groups search for cool fundraising ideas for the exact same reasons that you are. Whether it is burnout from doing the same programs every year, or declining sales, or just a desire to shake things up with a fun product, the fact remains that you want cool fundraising ideas. And there are in fact a number of routes you can take.
You could, of course,...
No matter who is in charge of your school fundraisers, be it the school administrators, the teachers, or the PTA or PTO, a typical school fundraiser is going to take a lot of work and will inevitably cause disruptions to the learning environment. And the fact of the matter is that there are very few schools who can get away with not doing some kind of fund raiser so the ideal situation would be to find fun, educational, non-disruptive, profitable, and easy school fundraising ideas.
But if you have been involved with your schools money raising efforts in the past, you...
One of the most common ways for people going on mission trips to raise money has been to send out mission trip fundraising letters in the hope that people will contribute money. So that lead most of the people doing mission trip fundraising to ask about what kinds of things to put into these fundraising letters and about the best ways to use them.
As with any church fundraisers that you might do, a mission trip fundraising letter needs to include a detailed description of what kind of work you will be doing. The better you can describe what you will...
Private schools provide all kinds of great opportunities for students to grow and learn without the restrictions that are inherent in a public school setting. Lesson plans can be tailored to better fit the needs of the students and the overall level of involvement and achievement tends to be much higher at private schools. But private schooling is not cheap and most rely on school fundraisers to help supplement the money that comes in as tuition. Many schools even have required fund raising participation levels for the parents. This high level of need for funding has led to a near...

Little League fundraising has become quite the competitive venture in the last couple of years. As more and more youth athletes join the Little League, there are more and more teams with more and more players all of whom need to raise money. The problem is that there is only so much money that a community can provide before they are tapped out. But, there is a great way to continue to raise money even in the face of staggering competition. So when the time comes for your team to raise money, one of the absolute keys to being successful...
Cheerleading is an expensive sport to participate in. Many people outside of the sport do not realize it, but there is a lot of money required to be a cheerleader. Because of this, the very vast majority of cheer squads turn to some sort of cheerleading fundraiser to help supplement what their school, team, or parents can contrbute.
Some of the more expensive things that need to be paid for to be a good cheerleader include equipment, which can range from the right shoes to matching pom-poms, to private training and coaching, to the costs of travelling to cheer contests. With cheerleading being...

Breast cancer is a terrible disease that affects our moms, sisters, wives, and daughters. But even with thousands of new cases being diagnosed every year, no one is taking the fight against breast cancer lying down. In fact, quite the opposite is true with the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk being a fantastic example of people literally coming to their feet to raise money and show their support for those dealing with the disease. Participating in the walk requires walkers to raise a set amount of money and that means it’s time to do a breast cancer...

Students selected to participate in the People to People Student Ambassadors program are presented with a fantastic opportunity to learn about the world we live in and spend time actually interacting with a different culture. The education and experience students receive during these trips is a once in a lifetime chance. But the trips aren’t cheap and unless you have very wealthy family members, chances are pretty good you are going to need some People to People fundraising ideas.
The problem you will quickly run in to is finding club fundraisers that make sense for an individual raising money for themselves....
The fact that you are looking for fundraising ideas means you probably don’t have a lot of spare money sitting around that you can spend to start an expensive fund raising program. The more likely scenario is that you are searching for some inexpensive fundraising ideas so that there isn’t much financial risk to your group.
There are really just four methods of raising money employed by groups no matter of who they are or why they are raising money. You can do a brochure based fundraiser where you pre-sell items; you can do a direct sell program like a candy...
Whether it’s for student government, city government, or a bigger race, there are a number of things that remain constant for all campaigns. There will be signs, there will be hands shaken, and there will be fundraisers. Obviously the more important the position, the more money will need to be raised and the more sophisticated the campaign fundraising ideas will need to be.
For major campaigns like those for governor and for congress there will be a campaign fundraising person in charge of raising money. But for more localized races, that job can fall on someone who does many other jobs...
They say that the very best way to motivate students to participate in school fundraisers and raise a lot of money is to give them a good reason to work hard. Make sure they know what the goal is and how their efforts will directly affect whether or not that goal is achieved. For most students, the most fun and motivating goal is going on a really cool field trip. So now that you have the reason for raising money you need to find some great school field trip fundraisers!
You want your field trip fundraisers to be fun and profitable...
One of the most exciting events of the year for high school students is prom. It’s a great night of fun with dates, tuxedos, gowns, and limos. Many school proms are held in ball rooms or local convention centers because they offer a lot more space and it’s more to have prom off campus than to do it in the cafeteria or the gymnasium. Renting out these spaces and decorating them costs money though and that is why it is so important to do school prom fundraisers to help cover the expenses.
Of course, ticket sales will help cover a large...
Just like any other competitive sports team, whether it be associated with the school or as an private club team, volleyball players need to do sports fundraisers. There are just a lot of things to pay for and more often than not, the money provided by the school or by club fees just isn’t enough to cover all of it. So it is extremely important for volleyball teams who want to remain competitive to find great volleyball fundraisers that raise a bunch of money very quickly so they can get back to practice.
We have many great sports team fundraisers that...
There are all kinds of ways to approach the challenge of raising the money that your organization needs. And there are nearly as many ways to divide up the different kinds of fundraising ideas to help you narrow down your choices. For example, you could decide between event fundraisers or product sales; brochure based fund raisers or direct sell products; traditional programs or clever fundraising ideas. The choice is all yours.
We have found that for many groups, clever fundraising ideas make a lot more sense than just sticking with the old ideas that are getting a little long in the...
The fact that you are searching for fundraiser ideas for schools means that you are either doing school fundraisers for the very first time or that you are interested in at least exploring what ideas are out there that are different from the fundraisers you did previously. Whichever category you fall into, you obviously want to raise as much money as possible and we want to help.
The most important thing to remember when you are narrowing down the fundraiser ideas for schools that you are going to pick from is that the specific fund raiser you pick is going to...
Fast fundraising ideas will allow you to raise all of the money that you need in a very short period of time, it’s that simple. But most fundraising ideas take up an exorbitant amount of time and require A LOT of work if you want them to be effective. This problem has become so prevalent that many people aren’t even sure that fast fundraising ideas really exist.
But I want to share something with you. There is a fund raising idea that is not only fast, but it is good for the planet, offers high profit, has extremely simple terms, and...
All over the United States, homeowners have come together to form neighborhood and homeowners associations. These groups can be formed to help manage certain aspects of the neighborhood like determining aesthetically pleasing paint colors and gardening standards, to help pay for general maintenance to the neighborhoods common areas, or to make improvements to the neighborhood like planting flowers at the entrance to the community. Some of these groups charge fees while others rely more on raising money with neighborhood association fundraising ideas.
If you are in charge of the HOA, your neighbors will really appreciate it if you can bring in...
Smart fundraising coordinators know that the secret to meeting their financial goals year after year is to always be on the lookout for creative fund raising ideas. Doing this can help set them apart from other groups raising money and can make the whole fund raising process more fun for the participants which invariably leads to better results.
What will qualify as creative fundraising ideas and how successful those ideas will be depends a lot on what kind of group you belong to. For example, getting creative and having a lift-a-thon just wouldn’t make much sense for an animal shelter fundraiser....
Do you ever wonder how some groups seem to have successful fundraisers every single time they try and raise money? Have you ever wondered what their secret is? Just what is it that sets them apart from the groups that struggle to make ends meet?

If you are willing to spend the time to put together a fund raising program, you are obviously interested in funding your organization. And if you have the passion necessary to put in...
Church fundraisers are most commonly done to raise money for something special that falls outside of what the church typically pays for. For example, you might raise money to pay for a mission trip or to go on a church retreat or even to build a playground for the church youth.
If you have been going to church for very long, you have probably participated in or at least seen a church fund raiser going on. And the chances are very good that those fundraisers were something along the lines of a bake sale, a flower bulb fundraiser, or something similar....
Environmental Clubs, just like nearly all other organizations, need to raise money to cover their various expenses each year.

But now, Go Green Fundraising is here with some exciting news for environmental clubs. The fundraisers you do can now be just as good for the environment as your club is! That's right - green fund raisers are the perfect choice for your...
Participating in peewee football or highly competitive high school football doesn't change it. Nor does it matter if you will go undefeated or if you won’t win a game. No, no matter what kind of football team you play for, there are some things you will have in common. You will practice; you will have equipment; you will travel to games; you will have loads of fun and make lifelong friends; you will do some sort of fundraiser. And since every football team is doing something to raise money, it makes a lot of sense to look for new, fresh...
The ideas that people use for football fundraising programs, just like for many other groups, have been changing. The change is in response to all kinds of pressures like the desire (or requirement) to offer healthier alternatives, the need to raise more money year after year, and the desire to simplify the whole process. Fortunately, your football team has many options for simplifying the entire fundraising for football experience.
We heard our customers asking for better fundraising for football options and set out to create a program that addressed not just one or two of their concerns, but that would meet...

The first and probably most important tip that...
Fundraising ideas for Christians are not really all that different from regular fundraising ideas except for one major area. The big difference you will find is that when you are doing Christian fundraisers, your focus in raising money is on God and serving others in His name.
When non religious groups raise money, they often need to have meetings and pep rallies to keep everyone excited and focused on selling. Not so with fundraising ideas for Christians. Whether the program is to raise money for a mission trip, to stock a local food pantry, or to add on to the church,...
Things are changing in the world of fundraising and that fact may be more true for elementary school student fundraising than for any other group or type of organization. The traditional fundraising ideas that so many schools have relied on for decades are falling out of favor.
Some school boards have started banning the sale of unhealthy items like frozen cookie dough as a means to raise money. Some of the larger chocolate and candy bar manufacturers have decided that in the face of rising costs they will abandon the fundraising market altogether. Additionally, the largest supplier of the holiday item...
To put things very plainly, there are a lot of student groups in the United States who need to raise money. And any time there is a large population with a need you can bet your very last dollar that there will be an equally impressive number of options for them to pick from.

A key point you want to address when doing a high school fundraising program is figuring out the best way to motivate the students to raise the most money that they can. There are a bunch of ways to work on motivating high school students like offering incentives to those who sell the most, keeping each student personally responsible for the money they raise, raising money for a cause they legitimately care about, and making sure each student takes ownership over his or her roles in the fund raising process.

The first step is to firm up the details about your group – how many students will participate in the school fundraisers, how much money do you need...
Fundraising for high school students is different than trying to raise money at any other school. In elementary school and junior high the focus is on school fundraisers that the whole school does. The administration or the PTA chooses the programs that every student participates in.
For a high school fundraiser, the focus of the efforts is typically on an individual organization or team with the benefits going directly to the team or towards a specific cause they want to help like a local food bank. The difference between this kind of fundraiser and those done by clubs at colleges and...

The annual school PTA fundraiser is hugely important to most schools. The typical school absolutely relies on the efforts of the dedicated parents of the PTA to provide funding for all kinds of expenditures that go above and beyond the state allocated budget for the school.
For the longest time, PTA fundraisers were only about raising as much money as possible. Recently however, there has been a shift in the way that PTA fundraising is being approached. Parents, teachers, and administrators alike are recognizing that for all of the time and energy that goes into these programs, you should be getting...

Elementary school fundraisers, those ever present, ever important efforts to raise money that take place in every corner of the country each fall and again each spring. In this day and age of shrinking school budgets and ever increasing demands on the school system to provide a high quality education in a world of exploding competition, successful elementary school fundraising efforts can mean the difference between maintaining or even adding important coursework and, well, not.
All of that may seem to place a lot of pressure on what would at first glance appear to be a fun, if not necessary, elementary...
Fundraising for elementary schools can certainly be tough these days.
One major obstacle schools are facing is school boards and concerned parents narrowing the selection of, or even outright banning, traditional elementary school fundraising programs like candy and cookie dough because of health concerns. In one extreme (and amazing) case, the state of Texas has mandated that sugary foods cannot be sold on campus during school hours.
Another issue that can hamper the results you see when fundraising for elementary schools is the sheer number of schools who are trying to raise money and the very real effects of competition on the success...

When you think of doing an elementary fundraiser, what comes to your mind? Do you see lots of kids selling candy bars? Do you see a school carnival? Do you cringe at the thought of having to sort hundreds of tubs of frozen cookie dough and hoping parents show up before it melts? Do any of the ideas about school fundraisers or elementary school fundraising have anything positive about them other than the fact that you get to add some money to the school’s bank account? For most people, fundraising has been a necessary evil that just needs to get...

The fact of the matter though is that every group is looking for the best fundraising ideas and what that means is different for each group. For some organizations something like a scratch card fund raiser is the perfect fit while for others our green fundraising programs are...
Fundraising for schools is an incredibly important part of insuring the success of the students of any age and at any type of school.

With so many people having experience, it can be easy to just go through the motions and pick the same old sports fundraisers you have always done and have the same people run it and raise about the same amount of money you have always raised. Basically, your soccer team fundraiser can experience firsthand the old...
The very best fundraisers for soccer are not necessarily the ones with the flashiest products, the best rewards program, or even the best profit margins. They do not have to be the most popular fundraising program. No, the very best soccer fundraising programs are the ones that get your team motivated and, more often than not, that has absolutely nothing to do with what fundraising products that you are selling.
The key to motivating your soccer team, and indeed any group that needs to raise money, is to raise money for something the team is interested in. While doing a fundraiser to...
Soccer fund raisers should be fun. If you plan on raising any amount of money at all, you have to take the idea of going around and asking people to either buy something or make a donation enjoyable and make the soccer team actually WANT to do it. There are a couple of ways to do this and it starts with picking the right fundraising program.
Finding the soccer fund raisers that will get your team and the team parents excited is not nearly as hard as it might sound. In fact, finding great sports fundraisers can be as simple as...
People involved in bands at their school know all too well just how expensive everything is and they tend to be some of the best at doing school fundraisers because they have to do so many of them. But something has been happening that has been slowing sales lately. That thing is fundraiser fatigue and it happens when people are approached by too many groups trying to raise money all selling the same thing. But there is a simple way to combat this problem and we would like to help. You just need to find some new fundraising ideas for...
Among the myriad tasks that the PTA is assigned with, the PTA fundraising programs each school year are probably the most important and most impactful for the school. In fact, many of the programs or supplies that schools rely on are funded entirely by the fund raising efforts of a dedicated group of parents. But you already know how important it is to raise money and how much good that money does for the school because you are out here looking for fundraisers for the PTA.
Fundraisers for the PTA usually need to meet a few criteria before they can be...
There are really only a few different ways that high school football teams typically raise money and most teams use all of them to make sure they raise enough money for the team. One choice is to do a donation type program with the most common version being a lift-a-thon type event. The most common way to do football fundraising though is to have some sort of product sale which be done by the team itself or done as football booster club fundraisers. Either way, you want to make sure that the high school football fundraising ideas that you pick...
When you really boil it all down, there are really only three ways that booster clubs raise money. They can ask for donations at an event, they can sell products directly to customers like concessions at competitions, or they can do a brochure based, pre sell booster club fundraising program. All three are used with great success around the country but as more and more schools and teams face budget shortfalls, it just makes more sense to focus on the free to start pre sell school fundraisers.
If you are involved in the booster club, it is very likely that you...
Because of the lack of funding from local and state government, private schools, as you are probably all too aware, rely 100% on tuition and money fraise from private school fundraising programs to stay afloat financially. It can be difficult, if not downright impossible, to raise tuition every year which means that the school fundraisers have to make up the difference. With that thought in mind, here are some tips and fundraising ideas for private schools that you can use that have proven themselves successful in private schools around the country.
We worked with one private school that got creative with...
If you are in charge of doing a fundraiser for a smaller group, you may have noticed a couple of things that most groups who are raising money have in common that probably worry you. There are the obvious issues that Go Green Fundraising exists to try and combat like the sale of unhealthy food products and the monotony of the same old programs year after year, but there are other issues facing smaller groups that need to be addressed as well. A small group fundraiser has to offer all of the same things that a bigger group would require like great...
As a member of the Booster Club, you are there to support the team in whatever way they need. Your duties can range from slicing oranges for refreshments to painting signs and banners for the team. One of the most important things that booster club members are called on to do is to manage the Booster Club fund raising efforts.
And while there are many ways for the boosters to raise money, most will choose to have some sort of product sale as they tend to raise the most money. A product sale can range from selling refreshments at competitions, to...
Christian schools face some unique challenges when it comes to raising the money that you need. You share some challenges with other private schools in that a very large chunk of your funding needs to come from school fundraisers, but you may want to consider the religious aspects of your fundraiser, as much as possible anyway. So with a huge need and some unique considerations, you need to find some really great fundraising ideas for Christian schools.
It can be tough to find fund raising ideas that feature products that are even remotely religious. I mean, you can’t really look at...
It’s been very cool watching as schools around the country have joined in the green movement with activities ranging from putting recycling bins in classrooms to planting school gardens.

Go Green Fundraising is the leader when it comes to school fundraisers featuring green products. We have a variety of...
Your high school band fundraiser is one of the most important and necessary things that your band will do outside of playing music. Very few high school bands can get by with just what the boosters can provide and the money that comes from the school district and so the search begins for great band fundraising ideas.
To get the most out of your efforts, your high school band fundraiser should be the program that will give you the best return for the amount of time and effort that you will put into it. A car wash can raise a decent...
Of all of the green fundraising programs, products, and ideas that are available to schools these days, selling plants is the most environmentally friendly. And it is a great time to be doing green school fundraisers.

Go Green Fundraising is the number one source for plant fundraisers....
It is rare for an entire high school to do school fundraisers like you would find with elementary or middle schools. There are just too many students with too many different interests to get everyone together to work on a single project. At best, you will get a class year to work together to raise money for something like prom. So you have to find high school fundraising programs that appeal to, and work well for, the disparate groups that raise money at a high school.
Students in high school now have grown up with the eco-friendly message their whole lives....

There are almost as many products and as many ways to do Little League fund raisers as there are youngsters participating in Little League. We are all, of course, familiar with the more common of the Little League fundraising programs like selling candy bars or frozen cookie dough. But there are also a whole bunch of other sports fundraisers that Little League teams can do that not only raise a lot of money, but do so in a healthier or more environmentally friendly way.

This year, when your PTA fundraising committee meets to talk about how the PTA is going to raise money for the year, there will probably be a whole bunch of back and forth discussions about what the best fund raisers are for the school.

But you can’t do them all and it’s up to the committee to narrow down and then select the best school fundraisers. To help you do that, it makes a lot of...
Because you are a living, breathing human being, chances are nearly 100% that you have been approached at some point by someone trying to sell you something to raise money. If you haven’t, just wait, you will. Of those of you who have, the chances that they were trying to sell you wrapping paper or cookie is also probably well above 90%. And if you are like most people, you really, REALLY wish they would just offer you something different. And now they can!
Go Green Fundraising has revolutionized elementary school fundraising without wrapping paper and it’s a great time for...
Unless you have a parent with kids who are many years apart who continues to head up the fundraising committee year after year, chances are pretty good that your school could use some help to make sure that everything goes smoothly as you raise money. School fundraisers are quite a bit of work and following just a couple of elementary school fundraising tips can make the whole ordeal less hectic and much more successful.
By taking the time to look for elementary school fundraising tips, you have already taken the first, and arguably most important, step. The number one tip is...
We all know that school fundraisers are an important and necessary way for schools to make up for budget gaps or to pay for special projects or supplies. Typically, in an elementary school setting, there is a school wide PTA fundraising or elementary school fundraising effort that raises money for the whole school. The money is then used to buy something the entire school can use, or to pay for the things the school needs the most. But what happens when the 1st graders have a need and there just isn’t enough money left over from the schools fund raiser...
Everyone is familiar with school fundraisers (we were all kids at some point right?). Growing up, we all were asked to raise money for our school, whether it was to buy new books, to go on a field trip, or to build a new playground. But most of us just did one or two fundraisers a year, met our goals, and called it a day. Private schools face a much different animal when it comes to raising money though. Because there is no money coming from the state, fundraisers for private schools are the second most important source of funding,...
Groups of all sorts are choosing new fundraising ideas to help meet and exceed the monetary goals they set for themselves. And with so many different groups out there raising money, it behooves you to look for some unique fundraisers to set yourself apart from the crowd.

By switching from the traditional products that most groups sell, you set...
If this is your first or your fifth year heading up the PTA fund raising efforts or sitting on the PTA fundraising committee, chances are pretty good that you want to make a difference for your school with the money that you raise. If you didn’t, there is no way you would have committed your time and energy to raising money for the school. But what if you could make a difference, not just with the money that you raise, but with the way that raised it? What if the PTA fund raising program itself made a difference for your...
Elementary school fundraising ideas come in all shapes and sizes. Some are designed to raise a bunch of money while others don’t raise quite as much.

What most elementary schools are looking for are the programs that raise a lot of money without taking thousands of man-hours to accomplish. A lot of schools are also looking for smart fund raisers that stand out from crowd and make a difference for their school like the eco friendly fundraisers that we offer. With that in...
The Girl Scouts are world famous for one thing, and it really has nothing to do with the mission of the Girl Scouts. They are famous all over because of the delicious cookies they sell every year to raise money. The program is so popular in fact that people stock up on Girl Scouts fundraising cookies so that they don’t have to go without them in the long months in between sales. But not everyone likes cookies and some troops have begun selling other products that better fit what the Girl Scouts are all about as alternatives. Many of them...

Montessori schools are set up to provide a more comprehensive educational environment for the students. By working with multiple areas of intelligence and at the pace of each individual, every students get the very most from their educational experience every day.

Eco friendly fundraisers, like the ones you will find here at Go Green Fundraising, are a great choice as they offer not only the chance to raise money but many education and...
One thing that seems to be a given with most groups who are trying to raise money is that they will be offering some sort of prizes to their sellers as a way to incentivize the group’s members to sell more.

This article, part of our ‘How to Do Fundraisers’ series, will help to answer these questions about fundraiser prize programs.
We have talked to a lot of groups about this issue and have found that, in the real...

Promoting your fundraiser is absolutely critical to the success of your program. If no one knows you are raising money, no one is going to contribute anything. So it’s imperative that you get the message out that you are fund raising and that you need help. One of the best ways to do that is to create a poster with basic information about your group and the reason you are raising money. To help you out, we have put together a couple of tips on how to create a fundraising poster.

Many times, when you get down to it and run the numbers, elementary school catalog fundraisers just tend to be the most successful elementary school fundraising programs. And that’s not to say that direct sell programs like our Smencils fund raiser aren’t successful. It’s just that for most schools, the fact that our catalog fundraisers are free to start and offer some great products and profits just makes them too hard to resist.
One of our primary missions here at Go Green Fundraising, besides helping you to raise as much money as possible for your elementary school, is to get you...
Cheerleaders, just like pretty much every other group, club, or team in high school have to raise money. Whether it’s to buy new uniforms or equipment or to travel to a competition, high school cheerleader fundraisers are just a necessary part of being able to participate and compete. There is just a really great demand for funding that schools and parents simply can’t cover and so cheerleading fundraising programs must be done.
In the high school setting, cheerleaders face a challenge that they don’t necessarily face when they are younger – so many other groups who also need to raise money....
It’s not much of a secret that fun is one of the key ingredients in school fundraisers that raise lots of money. Without a good helping of fun, it can be really, really difficult to get people excited to participate in the first place and even harder to keep them interested over the course of your fund raiser. That should be obvious. What does appear to be a secret however are the fun school fundraisers that are out there that you can do right at your school!
The big names school fundraisers - cookie dough, candy bars, holiday gifts – tend...
Uh Oh, it’s December and you still need money in the school treasury to fund the field trip when the kids come back in January. What are you going to do? You know that you don’t have time to send home catalogs with all of the students and expect to get them back in time. And you don’t have time to plan some big, elaborate school fundraiser event. You really need to find some end of the school year fundraisers that can be done quickly and that will raise a lot of money.
While there are lots and lots of different...
Because you have reached this page, it has to be safe to assume that you are a PTA parent or teacher or are in some way involved in your school’s PTA fundraising efforts. And for that reason, it is also pretty safe to assume that you feel like there are too many school fundraisers anyway. We have worked with hundreds of schools and it appears that limiting it to only 2 PTA fundraisers each year, one in the fall and another spring, can actually help you raise more money. By doing only 2 programs, you eliminate burnout and help everyone...
There sure are a bunch of different elementary school fundraising products that you can pick from and sell to raise money. There are the traditional products for elementary school fundraising programs that we are all so familiar with like cookie dough or wrapping paper. But there are also some great choices out there for elementary schools that want to raise money in a manner that is healthier, better for planet, or smarter than the programs they’ve used in the past. Some schools even look for new ideas, not because their old program isn’t successful anymore, but just to shake things up...
PTA parents and teachers around the country have been looking for different ways to raise money for quite some time now. There has long been a serious need for PTA fundraising ideas and products that are more effective for the school. It’s not good enough anymore to just send home some cookie dough flyers and assume that the students or their parents will sell tubs for you. No, with many kids involved in multiple organizations, many of which are also raising money with basically the same products, your PTA will need to get creative if you want to meet your...
Let’s cut right to the chase here. You’re not looking for the worst elementary school fundraisers because that would just be silly.

You may also want some healthier fundraising ideas or some school fundraisers that don’t feature foods at all. That may be because your elementary school is focusing on health or going green or it might even be because the state has decided...
While fundraising is obviously a necessary activity at any school, many parents, teachers, and administrators are starting to become concerned with taking away too much class time to promote their school fundraiser.

The easiest way for a school to raise money without wreaking too much havoc on learning is to do a...

Let’s take a quick look at why discount card fundraisers are such a smart choice for youth groups at churches.

Selling a fundraising product is very much like selling any other product. Product knowledge, enthusiasm, price, desirability, all...
Sports fundraisers are every bit as much a part of youth sports as orange slices at half time and grass stained socks.

It’s an important question to ask. There are lots of ways to raise money for your team and it’s a very smart move to ask around and...
I played soccer for more than 10 years when I was a kid and in that time I did probably 30 or more soccer fundraisers. Looking back on it, it seems like we were always raising money for something. But in all of that time, there are some sports fundraisers that seemed to work better than others when they are used for a soccer team. So just what were the best fundraising ideas for a soccer team? I’ll tell you.
What I noticed back then, and working with soccer teams from all over the country now has only reinforced it, is...
When it comes to fundraising, being in the band is great. You don’t have to worry about a lot of the things that smaller groups have to worry about. Things like too few participants, minimum order quantities, and unmotivated sellers just aren’t issues that you have to face. And there are lots of ideas for band fundraisers that you can pick from and raise a lot of money with. The hardest then, it might seem, is finding the right program for your band!
To start, I would recommend getting together and discussing what types of ideas for band fundraisers most interest...
You may or may not be aware that fundraising is a huge industry simply because there are just so many groups, just like yours, that need to raise money. When it comes to fundraising ideas, you’ve got the old stalwarts like cookie dough and wrapping paper that we are all used to. And then there are new fundraising ideas that are introduced every year in a bid to give you something exciting and fun that can help you raise more money.
Sometimes these new fundraising ideas work out great. Other times they just don’t seem to fit for anyone or just...

With our earth friendly fundraisers your school fundraiser can do more than just raise money; it can be used to educate the students and to help protect our planet. Here are some of the best school fundraising ideas that we have heard from our customers:
A Student Fundraising Garden – Quite a few schools have created nature areas where the students can learn about plant life and wild life. Some schools even have vegetable gardens where students can learn about the work that goes in to growing food. Taking that...
Fundraising ideas for schools are not difficult to come by. In fact, there are probably way, way too many school fundraisers out there for you to pick from and it can be difficult to distinguish the legitimately good ideas from the not so good ones.
When you boil it all down, your school fundraiser is about bringing in money that your school needs to accomplish some kind of goal be it adding on to the playground, buying new text books, or planting a school garden. But as our nation’s student population grows and becomes more educated and socially aware, a number...
You don’t always have the luxury of planning out a month long program for your PTA fundraisers. The traditional model of a 4 week sale, a week to organize and submit the order, 2 weeks to receive it, and another week to sort and distribute everything is just too much sometimes. Wouldn’t it be nice if there were school fundraisers that the PTA could do that were fast, easy, and raised a bunch of money? It just so happens that there are!
In fact, here at Go Green Fundraising, we have PTA fundraisers that can be done fast with great profits...
If we are really honest with ourselves, no one really likes doing sports fundraisers. They take a lot of effort and time and someone has to be put in charge of them. You play sports for the love of the game, not to sell tubs of cookie dough. But for most sports teams, not doing fundraisers just isn’t really an option. So it only makes sense to look for the best fundraisers for a sports team.
The goal, really, is to raise as much money, in the least amount of time, with the least amount of effort possible. To do that,...
The sheer volume of product that you sell for your fundraiser will be a major determining factor in the overall amount of money that you raise. It is just simple math that says the more products you sell, the more money you raise. So that then begs the question “what is the easiest to sell fundraising product”?
The answer is that the easiest to sell fundraising product is the one that your customers want to buy. That should seem obvious enough, but it’s overlooked way too often.
What we have is that the product that people are most likely to buy is...
There is a new movement in the fundraising world and that is the shift away from traditional fund raisers – things like frozen cookie dough and candy – to something called alternative fundraising.
Alternative Fundraisers
The idea behind these alternatives is that the old fundraisers don’t work so well any more for a number of reasons. The most important of those reasons is oversaturation. There are so many groups and clubs trying to raise money and most of them will pick either cookie dough or candy to sell. The problem with that, for them, is that every other group is selling the...
Is your fundraising group looking for a new fundraising program as an alternative to the traditional ways you have raised money?

And, are you looking for an alternative fundraising program that is absolutely free to start?
Well, you have come to the right place. Go Green Fundraising offers a number of fundraisers that are fantastic alternatives to your previous fundraisers. The typical fundraiser for the past 50 years has been a cookie dough or candy or wrapping paper sale, and people have gotten...
Pretty much every youth sports team does some kind of fundraising. There are just way too many things that most teams need for the parents or the players alone to foot the bill. And asking for help from the community through the sale of items with a fundraiser is a great and well known way to get the funding that your sports team needs. The problem that many teams face, and this is an issue for school fundraisers as well, is that there are just so many other teams trying to raise money at the same time that you are....

In this day and age of processed foods and an ever increasing problem with obesity, sometimes it is nice to just get back to simple things. That sentiment is being expressed especially fervently in the fundraising world as people are migrating away from the stalwarts of raising money like candy and cookie dough and instead are choosing healthier and simpler options. One new idea that is quietly gaining a steady following is tea fundraising.
Tea fundraising is one of the best options for groups and organizations that need to raise money but are actively seeking options other than the usual fattening...

One of the most pressing issues facing most groups who need to do a fundraiser is that they do not have very much, if any, money in their account. For nearly all groups, this is exactly why they are doing a fundraising program in the first place. But it can present a serious challenge when you are in that situation and start looking for ideas because some fund raising ideas cost money to start. The solution then is to find free fund raising ideas so that your current lack of funding doesn’t become a permanent lack of funding.
When we say...
The number one concern of pretty much every group who is trying to raise money, no matter the demographic or the reason for the effort, is the fundraising profit they expect to earn. And that is exactly what SHOULD be the most important concern. You are going to spend your time and put forth effort so you obviously want to maximize the fundraisers profit potential.
The problem in the past has been that high profit fundraisers have not had the best products. Or, if the products are good, the price is so high that actually selling anything is difficult. So, while...

The city of San Francisco, with more than 750,000 permanent residents and millions of tourists visiting every year, has banned the use of disposable plastic shopping bags.

Just because your daycare center is on the smaller side doesn’t mean that you have any less of a need to raise money and do fundraisers than any other daycare center. In fact, because of your size and the close relationship you have with the families that utilize your center, daycare fundraising programs may be even more important to smaller centers that the big ones. One great idea to raise a lot of money with a smaller group is to use discount cards for fundraising at small daycare centers.
Maybe the best reason why discount card fundraisers make so much sense...

Want to know the best way to boost your sales and profits for your fundraiser? Hint: it’s not a silly prize program. The very best method for increasing the amount of money you raise is to motivate your participants by setting a goal for them and then working to help them achieve that goal.
Most groups who are raising money are doing so for a specific reason or cause and they have a goal in mind. Many of these same groups though will stop short of specifically stating that goal or putting it down on paper to make it real. But...

Most soccer fundraisers are done by individual teams to buy new uniforms or to pay to travel to a special tournament or even just to pay league fees (club soccer fees are expensive!).

From the time of the first earth day in 1970, Americans have been focused on doing their part to save the planet. We realize that there are limited resources and that our actions do impact the planet in major ways. Over time, we learned more and more about the environment and found new ways to be better citizens of planet earth. We also realized that besides being better for the earth, many new green ways of living were actually good for us in general. Think how much money you save on your electric bill by using CFL’s rather than traditional...

People love them because they see how they provide a great way to make a difference for the environment as well as educational opportunities and still allow you to raise all of the money that you need. Go Green Fundraising has some really great green fundraising ideas that groups can use.
Some of our...
Everyone in fundraising it seems is looking for new fundraising ideas. They have tried alot of different things over the years, from flamingo fund raisers to eat-a-thons and people continued to raise money, but somewhere along the way the whole process seemed to lose some its luster. It always seemed like fundraising was an obligation for customers to either donate money or over pay for some under quality item that would sit in the closet with all the other overpriced underquality items from other fundraisers.
But now, there is something new: Green Fundraising. Green fundraiser ideas are becoming more and more...
One of the first questions most people who are planning on doing fundraisers ask is "How much profit will I make with this fundraiser?" and it is a vitally important question to answer. The last time I checked, not many groups were having their funding increased and most were in fact struggling just to cover their budgets. Groups’ leaders and fundraising coordinators need to know just how much they can expect to gain from a fundraiser before putting the group members through the effort required to raise money.
The answer to "how much profit will I make with this fundraiser?", as...
We are often asked by parents, teachers, and principles alike for good fundraising ideas that can be used for in-school fundraisers. In order to help them, we first have to understand what they mean by in school fundraising.
The two most common meanings are a school fundraiser where the students are raising money for a special project at their school. The other meaning is for a fundraiser that is done actually inside the walls of the school.
While most schools have been participating in some kind of school fundraisers for a long time, more and more schools are starting to look...

A lot of groups have relied on a rather small, and recently shrinking, category of fundraising products to raise the money they need every year. These products share the basic features of being food items with long shelf lives that taste good and, perhaps most importantly, sell for just one dollar. Far and away the largest segment within this category is candy fundraisers. But candy has gotten more expensive and many fundraising companies just can’t offer a one dollar candy bar any longer. Likewise, there is a growing number of organizations who just refuse to sell candy because of the...
Beef jerky fundraisers, unlike most other fundraising ideas, do not have to be difficult. In fact, with the Jack Links beef jerky fundraiser from Go Green Fundraising, a beef jerky fund raiser couldn’t be any easier.
The very basic gist of how raising money with beef jerky works is you order beef jerky that you then take and sell to customers. That’s it.
With beef jerky, there is no need to spend countless hours putting together a tally of the orders. There is no time spent sorting and delivering orders and storing the items that do not get picked up on time....
There are thousands of groups all over the country that have discovered something new when it comes to raising money. You see, most of these groups used to sell candy bars to raise money but they started running into road blocks and less and less money was being raised each year. Costs for candy went up and customers were less likely to spend $2 for something that only cost $1 the last time they bought it. For some groups, like those doing school fundraisers, new regulations flat out prohibited them from selling sugary items to raise money. That left many...
First, you may be wondering just what we mean by 'in school fundraiser'. In school fundraisers are programs where the entire fund raiser in done on school property, typically during the school day. The benefits to raising money like this are that students do not need to go door to door selling and that it is much, much easier to keep track of everything. Not to mention how much easier it is to keep everyone thinking about the fundraiser if it is done at school.
Many schools have reported having a difficult time finding school fundraising ideas that seem like...
Some schools prefer to not do fundraising programs where the students (or their parents for that matter) take the school fundraiser materials home. Instead, these schools choose to do what are known as in school fundraisers.
In case you have not heard of these kinds of school fundraisers, they are programs where the entire thing is done on school grounds and during school hours. The benefits are that students do not need to go door to door, it is easier to keep track of everything, and it opens a lot of possibilities for raising money that don’t exist with traditional school...

College is expensive enough as it is, but then of course once you get there as a student, you want to get involved in all sorts of activities related to your interests. As you're probably already aware, these activities are hardly ever free, or sometimes you want to organize your own plans that always require some kind of funding. Fundraising ideas for college students are numerous, but that doesn't mean that any fundraiser will automatically work well for you. You have to consider what you want to do, how much money you need to make, how many people you have...
Although fundraising with groups of people can involve all kinds of logistical nightmares, groups do have one major thing going for them: their selling power. If you're trying to raise money as an individual, you might feel intimidated that it's just little ol' you and not a big group doing all the fundraising. That doesn't mean, however, that you have to set your goals low or expect yourself to have a mediocre result - just like with group fundraisers, fundraising ideas for individuals hinge less on the actual fundraiser, and more on your attitude toward your progress and...
Fundraising in a group certainly has its advantages. Aside from the obvious increase in selling power, fundraising teams can lean on each other for support when the going gets tough, and they can bounce ideas off each other when they need to get inspired. But what if you are only looking for fundraising ideas for one person? Fundraising for one may seem intimidating at first, especially if you're looking to raise a significant amount of money, but believe it or not there are some powerful fundraisers out there for those who are ready to put in the work and follow...
It seems like running a nonprofit organization is a constant uphill battle. There never seems to be enough money for the things that you need, and it's like you're in a never-ending cycle of struggling and fundraising and struggling and fundraising. Things will probably not get better overnight if you're looking for fundraising ideas for nonprofits that will help you get out of this rut, but if you start looking at ways to expand your fundraising into other avenues, and combining fundraising efforts where possible, you can create fundraisers that are a lot more lucrative than ones you've organized in...
When most people think about how bills are paid in a preschool, they usually assume that the fees the parents pay to the school cover all the day-to-day expenses. If you're someone who runs a preschool, however, you already know that this is hardly the case. Often the money for supplies, field trips, and new playground equipment has to come from a source other than the money coming from the parents. This means that more and more people are looking for great fundraising ideas for preschools that will help keep the bank balance looking good while allowing the preschool to...
Running a sorority is an expensive business, probably a lot more so than you thought when you first rushed. Looking in from the outside, people don't realize just how many expenses a sorority can have, and if the girls want to do anything together as a group or take any trips, that all has to be paid for somehow. Therefore, it's important to come up with fundraising ideas for sororities that can help you reach your financial goals and keep your sorority afloat. Whether you're trying to raise money for fun or for essential items, we have great fundraising ideas...

A school or church bake sale is practically the definition of fundraising. There's not a school in the land that hasn't hosted a bake sale to make money at one time or another.
But a bake sale is an idea that can quickly get stale (no pun intended), so if you want to stay current and appeal to your supporters, you'll want to think of some fun and profitable bake sale fundraising ideas to spice up your event. Here are a few tips to get you started, and hopefully these will prompt you to get brainstorming and think of...

Taking part in school fundraising events is a great way to do something positive for your school. There may be a particular school club or team that needs some extra money for equipment, or your school may be simply helping to raise money for a local cause. Either way, it is an unfortunate reality that schools just don’t have the funding to pay for these things themselves. Most schools have so many different clubs and departments requiring constant funding for upgrades that, most of the time, a lot of these departments will be left unnoticed. A fast, effective, and positive...

School fundraisers are great because they get all of the students involved to help raise money, and the school doesn’t have to spend a lot of money doing it.

If you’ve been told that the school budget is rather slim this year, or it only has enough money to cover the cost of stationary but not bigger items like desks and computers, then fundraising for schools could be the solution to all your problems. As the organizer of this school fundraiser, it is your job to make sure you have enough of a budget to cater for all your fundraising for schools needs, and that you bring away enough money at the end to support your school needs. But aside from the financial benefits of holding this event, fundraising...
