Angel 76 – Volunteers are very special people so we need to look after them. These are ideas I have used as a youth worker to raise funds and the awareness of the community.
1…Coin crawl – Organise a basketball court during a big game.Wait for half-time and then place some coins, on the outside line of the court and ask the public to help you raise some funds by placing a coin on the line. The object is to try and work your way to a target. Fill the line / travel around the court / cross the transfer lines! Your target will depend on how big the crowd and how well you can involve them. A well known identity on a microphone encouraging the audience can do wonders.
2…If you place a donated bottle of champagne in the middle of the floor of your local club (with permission) and tell the crowd that they can toss a coin from behind a set line on the floor, and see how close they can place the coin to the bottle.
The closest wins the bottle / you can have as many goes as you like / it is quick and if successful could be repeated same time each week for one month…Good luck!!

Talk to your local rotary club. They help out other organizations with funding. I like a fundraiser where I can buy something for a cause, not just give money. Bakes sales, car washes things like that.

Help is here.

I raise funds for an International Charity. Fund raising is difficult.

These are my suggestions:

* Antique Auto show. Tons of people show up and donate.

* Speed Pitch Game at a Town event…we raised $3,000.00 in 4 hours after expenses.

* Combine your efforts with another Charity: Lions Club, Rotary, Knights of Columbus. Very Large crowds attend those functions.

At a combined Pancake Bfast……5,000 people showed up. After expenses, Both groups neted $ 4,000 each….for 5 hours effort.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

we did one recently and called it 5 for kids (kids being the local kids ward at the hospital), everyone has a car dash full of 5 cent peices, or has them thrown some where at home, so we had businesses and schools carry the bins for a month with "5 for kids" written on it and the radio station promoted it all day and night on their promos…..in a town of just 40 thousand it pulled $370,000 in 4 weeks….. and the incentives for the business and schools were, the school that made the most got a live radio disco for the kids and the business that made the most recieved a $1000 advertising voucher. (plus all participating businesses recieved free on air promos during the charity run)
