My school is facing sever budget cuts, and I want to run for treasurer this year. In my speech I want to give ideas on how we can face our new budgets. Anything that involves extra money would be great. My school is suffering so much instead of the normal 7 periods, we now have 6. I’ve already thought about addvertisment in the school paper, raising bottles for recycling (we can get 50 cents a bottle) and a silent auction. What else?
The best thing I can think of for you is to go around frequently to your school parents, students, family members, friends, and neighbors and collect as many used cell phones and ipods as possible and then visit: http://www.cellitused.com and sell the phones to this company. If you send them phones once a month then you can probably make $100 + a month. It also look good because are trying to help the environment as well. Most people just throw their used cell phones in a closet, drawer, or trash.

I would like to suggest trying fundraising discount cards. They are beneficial to the school(raising funds), the merchants on the cards (they get new patrons by offering a discount), and the consumers (for $10 they are able to save a considerable amount of money).
I have written many articles at http://www.easyfundraisingcards.com/blog… outlining some of the benefits and also downfalls of fundraisers like candy bar sale, candles, cookie dough, online fundraising (they make it sound so easy don’t they?), and articles about fundraising in a recession.
Easy Fundraising cards does all the work for you except for actually selling the cards (and we even help with that a bit) oh yah and We don’t charge you anything upfront, you pay from profits.
A card we did with an 300 student elementary school in California sold 750 cards. With about 580 cards sold before they even arrived. The person in charge, did spend a little time working with me to make sure the card was good, spent some time passing out our sales fliers, and then also collecting money and handing out cards. But this was less time than she would have spent on any other fundraiser.
I encourage you to visit our blog and read through our articles, with your experience you might find yourself nodding your head as you read. If it seems like something that might interest you, just request more information and we would be happy to discuss your fundraising needs.
Regards,
Mark South
