Fabulous Five Fundraising Ideas

Fundraisers come and fundraisers go but with these five fundraisers in your arsenal you will have amazing success. You will be very pleased with how profitable your fundraising will become when you begin to fundraise and have fun at the same time.

The first fundraising idea is to have a junk shop fundraiser. The idea is simple your group will canvas a neighbor hood around your church or school and ask for old junk items that people are willing to donate for your cause. You then can hold a junk sale and sell the items at discount rates. You will also be surprised to find out that many people are willing to support fundraisers with cash when asked for nothing more than there old junk.

A second fabulous fundraising idea is to have a celebrity fundraising garage sale. Contact local celebrities or even bigger name celebrities and ask them to support your fundraising cause by donating old used items. If you are able to negotiate with the celebrities to attend your celebrity fundraising garage sale your sales will sky rocket. People are naturally drawn to celebrities and the idea that they can come to a garage sale fundraiser and buy celebrity items while meeting and greeting the actual celebrity will draw people in. Remember with a celebrity fundraising garage sale you have to advertise to make it work.

Have a free concert of local bands that people can attend at your church or school. Then while people are listening to music you can offer bottled water and soda for sale as well as candy and other packaged goods. You can also increase the awareness of your cause and ask for fundraising donations. Bands are often times excited to help out local causes and may be willing to play for your fundraiser at little or no expense to you.

Have an old fashioned bake sale. Bake sales are a great way to fundraise. With people being as busy as they are these days fewer and fewer people have time to bake home made goodies. With a fundraising bake sale people are able to support your cause as well as buy those baked goods that make them remember grandma.

Finally get online. With the internet being so active and so many people being online blogging and having a website is a great way to raise awareness for your cause. You can ask for donations through your website or offer options to purchase products through your site. Online awareness is a great way to fundraise.

Remember that a key to fundraising is to have your donors feel important and to know that you need them. Donors need to feel a personal relationship with the cause in order to support fundraiser, and always say Thank You.
