You decided to help out at the school by joining the PTA and ended up joining the PTA fundraising committee because raising money is an extremely important way to help the school. Now it’s time to find the school fundraisers you are going to use and you sit down at your computer to start searching. Wow, there are a lot of ideas! There are some great school fundraisers for the PTA and some that aren’t so great and we would like to suggest some things you should look at before making your choice.
One of the first things to do when you find an idea that you think will be a good fit is to check and make sure that it follows any guidelines that the PTA, school, school board, or even the state have for school fundraisers for the PTA. For example, many schools have started eliminating unhealthy foods from their campuses and that includes candy bars and cookie dough. It helps to get the list of appropriate types of fundraisers before you start searching because it can save a lot of time and frustration. Just think how annoyed you would be to find the “perfect” PTA fundraiser and then be told you can’t do it!
It makes a lot of sense, even if your school doesn’t restrict the PTA from selling unhealthy foods, to just steer clear of them on your own. Obesity is a very serious issue in our country and having the school kids selling something like candy bars just sends all kinds of wrong messages. Instead, you might want to look into healthier food fundraisers or even school fundraisers for the PTA which don’t feature food at all.
Some examples of fundraising ideas you may want to explore and discuss with your PTA fundraising team include our Trail Mix fundraiser, Flower Bulb fundraiser, and a Smencils sale. All 3 of those programs offer you 50% profit guaranteed and all 3 of them offer products that are healthier or more environmentally friendly than any of the traditional products you may have looked at. If you have questions one of these, or any of our other eco friendly fundraisers, contact one of our real live reps who can help by calling 877-448-9746.
