What is a Smart Elementary Fundraiser?

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 accomplished and moved past.

But does it have to be that way? Do elementary school fundraisers really have to be a nuisance that parents tolerate because the funds raised will eventually help their students? We think not! No, at Go Green Fundraising we want to make your elementary school fundraising program a resounding success – not only financially but also more satisfying to you and your customers and more educational for the students.

Instead of just raising money our elementary school fundraiser ideas are designed to help teach the students and their customers about ways to reduce the impact they have on the planet. We also want to make fund raising healthier and to show people that healthy food can still be delicious. We accomplish these goals by offering products like our organic food mixes, our tree and flower fundraisers, and even with really fun and still eco-friendly products like our Smencils fundraiser.

The idea is that you can turn a regular old fund raiser into a smart elementary fundraiser by choosing programs that offer educational benefits and opportunities to work the fund raiser into the lesson plans in the classroom.

Some of our customers have gotten very creative in this regard. One school that did our tree fundraiser used the funds to build a school garden and planted some of the trees from the sale in that garden all while teaching about trees and the benefits they provide for the environment. Other schools have taken an easier approach and will use Smencils to teach about recycling efforts with some even using the proceeds from a Smencils fundraiser to start a school recycling program.
