Easy Fundraising Ideas For Kids

 

       

If you are working on a fundraising ideas for kids or have worked on them in the past,‭ ‬you know how tough some fundraisers can be.‭ First there's the seemingly endless piles of ‬paperwork,‭ and then there are all the ‬shipments,‭ ‬and delivery of items.‭ ‬This is especially difficult when you're dealing with young children.

As you probably already know ,‭ i‬n reality,‭ these‬ fundraisers are usually just the parents doing the fundraising,while the kids play.‭ It's important to keep the ‬fundraiser as simple as is humanly possible so that the kids can understand and try their very best to help the adults. Part of being successful here is to tell them that you're doing it for them. Remind them of what will happen if the fundraiser is a success. (i.e. the trip to Disney or whatever the objective of the fundraiser is.)

The Easiest Idea - A fifty-fifty Raffle

There are many very easy yet solid fundraiser ideas for kids out there.‭ ‬One easy fundraising idea is to do a fifty fifty raffle.‭ ‬If your school is having an event like a breakfast or a chorus concert,‭ ‬this is a great idea.‭ ‬All you have to do is sell the raffle tickets.‭ ‬When the time comes,‭ ‬have a student draw the winning ticket.‭ ‬The winner receives fifty percent of the total money taken in.‭ ‬Many people actually choose to donate their winnings back to the school or organization.‭ ‬The downside to this elementary school fundraiser idea is that you will probably only make a few hundred dollars and it is ineffective for raising large sums of money.

Basket Bingo - A Sure Fire Winner

Another super easy children's school fundraiser idea is to do basket bingo.‭ ‬Basket bingo is great because you can ask people in the community‭ (‬business owners,‭ ‬parents,‭ ‬organizations,‭ ‬etc‭)‬,‭ ‬to donate things for prizes for bingo.‭ ‬Then you can sell tickets for anywhere from fifteen to twenty dollars for people to come play bingo.‭ ‬Students can call the numbers,‭ ‬hand out prizes,‭ ‬or help keep the chip cups filled.‭ ‬If you want your elementary students to be able to be involved in the fundraiser,‭ ‬this is a great idea.‭

Other Easy Fundraising Ideas

There are many other easy school fundraiser ideas aside from raffles and bingo.‭ ‬You could do a bake sale for an easy fundraiser.‭ ‬All you need to have are parents and students to donate food items and a table to set up your goods.‭ ‬You can set up a bake sale anywhere,‭ ‬but festivals or fairs are the best locations‭! ‬If your event‭ ‬is in the summer,‭ ‬make sure to bring a cooler with cold drinks in it.‭

Whatever you choose,‭ ‬know that for your school fundraiser you do not need to stick to the traditional and difficult fundraisers.‭ ‬Instead,‭ ‬think outside of the box and find an easy,‭ ‬fun fundraiser for all involved‭! Door to door sales of things that definitely sell is another good one. (It's important to sell stuff that is easy to sell. Magazines are tough so shy away from these. Pizza, candy, caramel popcorn isn't. Just look in your own pantry for item ideas. Chances are if they're in your pantry, they're also in your neighbor's pantry as well.
