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 sense to consider the different types of PTA fundraising ideas to help you narrow down the choices and pick the right program.
You really only have four main types of PTA fundraisers to pick from. There are brochure based product sales, direct product sales, PTA fundraising events, or you can simply ask for donations. Any of the four can be successful, you just need to think about what skills you have and decide how much time you are willing to spend raising money. It’s also smart to have a good idea of just how much money you need, or would like, to raise as that can influence your decision as well.
Event fundraisers, like carnivals, require the most planning and tend to require the most work but the payout can be huge. If you have a bunch of parents willing to chip in time, and a supportive community willing to donate prizes and activities, this is a smart way to go. Unfortunately, many schools don’t have the resources to put on a successful event.
That leaves product sales and asking for donations. Product sales are by far the most popular and common way for PTA’s to raise money. They come in a huge variety of options and our earth friendly fundraisers are a great choice for schools. Healthier, more eco friendly, and more educational than traditional fundraisers, PTA’s around the country are opting for programs like our flower bulb fundraiser or Smencils fundraiser every day.
This leaves the last choice, simply asking for donations. This is becoming one of the most popular types of PTA fundraising ideas because so many PTA parents and the fundraising customers are just tired of buying things. To them, it’s much easier to simply donate a bit of money to the school and be done with the whole fundraising thing. That is why we created the Donation fundraiser which allows you to solicit donations on the internet from all over the world. It’s incredibly easy and takes only minutes to set up.
Hopefully these short explanations of the types of PTA fundraising ideas has helped you narrow down the choices for your school. If you have any questions about the fund raisers we offer, please do not hesitate to call us at 877-448-9746.
