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.

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...
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...
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 thing that has changed in the not too distant past for parents and teachers looking for school fundraisers was the introduction of the school fundraising policy. These policies are designed to help you find appropriate fundraising ideas that have met the approval of the school board, the PTA, or even the state. And while they may seem like a burden or a hassle, especially if the program you want to do is on the list, knowing the school fundraising policy before you ever start planning your fund raiser can save you a lot of headaches, and can even help...
Successfully fundraising for student organizations can be much easier than you might expect based on what you have heard or even experienced with past fund raisers if you take the time to get things organized before you ever begin the actual student fundraising programs. After working with thousands of groups, we have found that there are some simple steps which are absolutely imperative to having good student fund raisers. Stay Organized For most PTA moms or student organization sponsors, the concept of staying organized just comes as second nature but this is key for even the most organized people. You want to...
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...
It’s time for another PTA fundraising program! That means you have a lot of work ahead of you as you plan, execute, and wrap up your fund raiser. Successful school fundraisers, especially at larger schools, are just too much work for an individual to effectively manage on their own and getting help will not only make your life much, much easier, it can also lead to more productive and profitable PTA fundraisers. So one of your first steps as the fund raising coordinator is to choose an effect PTA fundraiser team. Just like any other team, you want to pick teammates...

Well, there are a couple of different ways. One is to...
“Just what are the PTA fundraising essentials?” That is a question you may be asking yourself if you are in charge of the PTA fundraising program or if you are on a committee charged with the same task. It is an important question to ask and having the answers can mean the difference between a lackluster PTA fund raiser and a phenomenal program with record profits. The first PTA fundraising essential is to be organized. That may sound like a ‘duh’ statement when discussing PTA parents, but you would be shocked at how often a fundraiser gets disorganized and sales hurt...
Like pretty much everything else in life, the PTA fundraising ideas that work the best are the ones that are the most simple. They are effective because they are so easy to understand, to execute, and to manage and have products that are intuitive and easy to sell.

We have applied concepts like free shipping, low minimums, flat profit margins and free sales materials to nearly all of our PTA fundraising ideas. Take, for example, our flower fundraiser....
One of the best ways to boost the sales in your PTA fundraising programs is to notify the parents about the fundraiser and make sure that they get the message. After all, for most schools, it is the parents who end up doing the selling anyway and if they don’t know that you are fundraising, then they can’t sell anything. One of the best ways to inform them is to send out a PTA fundraising letter that goes over the program and the reason for the school fundraisers. It is HIGHLY recommended that you have a specific reason for doing the fund...

PTA's are extremely important organizations.

Recently, many of these organizations have been looking into new PTA Fundraisers that afford them an opportunity to educate the students as well as raise money. Go Green Fundraising is excited to offer a number of PTA fundraisers...
When the parents who lead the PTA fundraisers go to choose the school fundraisers they will be doing for the year they tend to lean in one of two directions. They either choose easy PTA fundraiser ideas or they choose high profit and high sales PTA fundraising ideas. And historically these were their only choices because let’s face it, there just aren’t a whole lot of easy and high profit fundraisers out there to choose from. But at Go Green Fundraising we have a PTA fundraising idea that is not only easy and high profit but is also good for the...

Elementary school PTA fundraisers have a lot more riding on them these days than they did when I was in elementary school. Back in my day, we sold cookie dough and when it was warm outside, the PTA moms would set up a booth and sell snow cones. There was never much thought put into considering what the best PTA fundraisers might be and this was long before anyone considered a sugary snow cone a bad thing. Plus, there were only a handful of other elementary schools in the immediate area so the idea of competing for elementary school fundraising...

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...

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.

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. There will inevitably be suggestions to do a carnival and a book fair and a Christmas gift fundraiser and on and on and on. 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...
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...
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.

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...

Some PTA Fundraising products offer high profits and others offer profits that are not so stellar. There are easy to sell PTA fundraising products and then there are items that seem like you couldn’t even give them away. It should be abundantly obvious that the programs you want to choose are the ones that offer high profits with easy to sell products. So what kinds of PTA fundraising products are easy to sell? Well, the easiest to sell products are going to be the ones that people actually want to buy which seems obvious enough. But unless you are going to...
There are all kinds of PTA moms out there. They come in all shapes and sizes. The kids they are working for can range from 5 to 19 years old. They come from all kinds of background and have a multitude of different and very valuable skills.  And they live in every corner of the country. But there is one thing that I think every PTA mom would agree that they have in common – they are busy! There is only so much time in a day and most moms work incredibly hard just taking care of their own families and...
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...
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...
Every one, and I mean EVERY ONE, is ready for the winter break when it rolls around. The teachers need some time away to relax and regroup and the students need time to rest and not worry about schoolwork or test or athletics. Parents usually also appreciate the respite and the time it allows them to spend with their kids. The winter break also means time off for the PTA. But school always starts again in early January and then it’s right back to the grind. When you come back to school, you may be like thousands of other PTA’s looking...
It’s getting late and the PTA meeting is going longer than it should and it’s time to discuss which PTA fundraisers you are going to use this year. Some of the parents want to just use the same program that was used last year because they are ready to go home and don’t want to spend a lot of time going back and forth. But you volunteered for the PTA because you wanted to make a difference for the school. With that in mind, you may want to consider green ideas for PTA fundraising programs. No one is arguing about the issues...
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...
