Fundraising Ideas?

[Sweed]

My old high school's Robotics team is in desperate need to raise quite a bit of money for the enterance fee to the compition, then another few thousand to build the actual robot.

And they're completely lost on how to raise funds for it, in a involving way (for the members of the team and the community) that's also safe.

Anyone have any ideas?

we just went around and tried to get various donations from companys. we showed a presentation of what we did/do and hoped theyd give us somthing... we got anough money that were going to atlanta this year 100%

[lol]

Take a survey of what people really want to be handy available at school, then see which ones you can sell.

Advertisements. If you can advertise in any way, to any company, use it. My highschool sells full page ads in the yearbook for $700 ea, and we usually get up to about $250,000 from Sept. 28th, to October 18th. Give each person that sells an ad a 10% cut, and you have some incentive.

How you wanna refine the idea, and advertise, is up to you

That one always works.


Something you can do (this is what I'm doing with Academic Decathlon) is ask a coach or something to see if you can help sell tickets and take some of the donation, or at least ask if you can set out a donation jar during some basketball or football games.

Or sell some pot.

Either works.

I had to come up with a fundraiser idea for Ag Class my freshman year.
At the time, the Interact Club from our school was having a "Free Hug" day.
So, me and my group actually went that day, and did "Deluxe Hugs for $2."
We stole the idea from this video.

We have problems with people walking off with the money, but in general, the club makes somewhere in the range of $400 a week selling candy when they do sell. Except we need to raise closer to $1500 a week.

why don't you try selling cookies or chips

[monsterhunter]

why dont you try to get like a paint ball thing going or something. ive always wondered if it would work. talk with a paint ball place(if ones near you) and get prices then have people pay like $10 more then the regular price, and have the school go paint balling as like a field trip probably be able to make a lot a money off that if you sort it all out right. but thats just my way of thinking, but if that happened in my school, i know a lot of people would probably like it.
