Kids Fundraising Ideas
One of the fondest memories of a person’s childhood is often afternoons and weekends full of fun with other children. Youth groups like Boy or Girl Scouts, Church Organizations, Social Organizations and Sports Programs are just some of the wonderful organizations that are available for your child to pass their time in a fun, constructive way that helps them build self-esteem and lasting friendships.
But what are you to do if the Programs your child is a part of need money or may have to close or scale back their activities because they just don’t have the funds they need to continue? That’s where kids fundraisers can be a godsend. Fundraisers are invaluable resources when your child’s favorite organizations need money.
There are many options for kids fundraising, and they vary in the amount of time and money you need to invest to make them truly profitable. One of the most popular and easiest kids fundraiser is a car wash. You can find an appropriate place to hold the car wash – like an uncrowded parking lot at a church, school, or store (be sure to get permission!) that has access to water – and gather the supplies you’ll need. With the proper safety precautions and supervision, the kids have fun washing the cars and raise the money their organization needs at the same time.
Another often overlooked kids fundraising idea is having a yard or rummage sale to help raise money. What could be better? The people in your community can finally clean out their closets and attics and donate items to be sold at the rummage sale. Shoppers scouring sales for a great bargain or a hidden treasure love a good yard sale and will help ensure that your kids fundraiser will be a resounding success.
Phoneraiser.com is another ingenious way to fundraise while teaching kids a valuable social lesson – the need for recycling and responsible ownership. Phoneraiser.com accepts old cell phones/PDAs and inkjet cartridges for recycling and removes them from the environment where they can do damage and perhaps even enter our ecosystem. Your kids fundraiser will have the opportunity to help both their social organization and the community they live in.
