im in high school and my class wants to raise money to go on a trip to look at colleges. Does anybody have any ideas? so far we have woman less beauty pageant, spaghetti dinner, and and auction.
I like the woman-less beauty pageant idea. It’s a funny one and one that is actually already on the site I’m about to recommend.
I run you a small nonprofit and I’m often looking for small scale fundraising ideas. I now use http://www.CreativeFundraisingIdeas.com almost exclusively. The site has tons of great small scale, simple fundraising ideas. I hope this helps.
Good luck with your fundraising and the college application process!

The best thing I can think of for you is to go around frequently to your school parents, other 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.

Hello,
Book sales may be a fund raising event of interest to you.
All across the nation, many organizations hold book sales that feature cheap books that were either donated or removed from circulation of a library. Typically these sales sell books, CDs, magazines, and DvD’s for rock bottom prices. This type of fundraiser helps generate much needed funds while promoting literacy in the community.
One resource I have found online that gives a good overview on how to run one.

Being charity organizations, these nonprofit organizations often have limited resources to advertise and promote their sales. As such, many people are never made aware of the excellent deals they are missing within their own communities. That’s where http://www.booksalemanager.com comes ins. We are attempting to bridge the gap between Organizations looking to more effectively advertise their sale, and people looking to find more places to get good deals on books and media.
Organizations and other non-profit groups can freely advertise their sale on our site. People looking to find sales can use our powerful search tools to find these sales. They can search by state, zip code, sale size, and date ranged.
Furthermore, people can create an account and save sales to their calendar to help them better track the sales they want to go to. Accounts also allow users to be notified if a new sale is listed in their area and send notifications to remind them of an upcoming sale. All these features help increase sales for the organization and promote a successful sale.
I believe book sales are a great way to find bargain books and media while at the same time supporting the local organizations we all know and love. It’s a total win-win.
Thank you for your time and if you have any other questions, please let me know.
