Jonathan's Answers to Tough Questions
QUESTION:
I need fundraising ideas bad, but our kids aren't into selling
stuff, got any fun fundraising ideas? HELP!
Megan, Parkland, WA
ANSWER:
Megan,
You're not alone. I can't tell you the
countless e-mails I've received asking the same thing.
The fund raiser
I use each year- with outstanding results- and a bonus of social service
experience, is what I call a "Salvation Army Work Day."
I call the local
Salvation Army (any homeless shelter will do) and schedule a day we can come
and work for 8 hours. Then I make up pledge sheets for the kids. (see pledge
sheet in logistical crud) They try to get
pledges per hour, for 8 hours. ie: if they can get 20 people to pledge a
dollar an hour, they will make $20 an hour for 8 hours of work. That's $160
for ONE KID! If you do the math, this is better than your typical car
wash- and it's a great experience at the same time.
Also check out
EGAD's site- they list a bunch of other fund
raisers:
