Other fund raising ideas that your group might want to consider:
- For one week stop doing one thing you can live without. Maybe it’s coffee or sodas, fast food, donuts, candy. Then estimate how much you saved during that week and donate it.
- Organize a bake sale, a garage sale or a car wash.
- Set up a coin jar at your lunch line and encourage everyone to put their change in it. Within a few weeks a whole school can raise a surprising amount of money.
- Hold a swim-a-thon, dance-a-thon, read-a-thon, bowl-a-thon, jump rope-a-thon or anything else you can think of. Set a duration time that will make your friends, neighbors and relatives want to donate and get them all to sponsor you efforts.
- Get the local media involved in what you are doing, the local newspaper, t.v. channel or radio station would probably love to do a story on local kids raising money for Africa. A local story that has an address where people can send donations could bring in money from lots of people you don’t even know.
- Plan a sporting tournament of your choice. Each member has a set entrance fee and the total collected goes to save lives.
- Collect bottles and cans and recycle them, if a whole school is recycling it may surprise everyone just how quickly funds can be raised. See our Project recycle page.
- Contact Away To Help for tote bags or hats to sell to family and friends or outside a local market. Proceeds changing lives.
- Become our Facebook friend, you can even make a donation using our causes application.
