What is a good fundraiser for youth?

Whats a good, quick and profitable fundraiser for a Youth Group?

  • Answer:

    A bake sale - everybody donates a baked good or two and then you sell the items for a profit. You can sell whole pies and cakes or sell things individually likes cookies, brownies, slices of cake. Or you can do a little of both. Since everyone donates the food you'll be selling, overhead is very low and profits from the fundraiser go directly to your cause. If you need supplies like napkins and paper plates, etc. see if a local business (like a bakery) will donate them. Maybe have coffee, tea and milk available for purchase too. This type of thing works well at a church or school event....

A car wash....I've done lots of fundraisers for my kids' various groups and this is one of the best money makers...you can even call local car washes and have them donate the soap...have each kid bring a few towels and a hose or two. Make bright colored posters. Our best location was at a pizza place...we made a killing in only a few hours. Word of advice though - don't "charge" for it...do it as a "donation" thing - you'll get a lot more business - trust me... GOOD LUCK...

In our area there are many Volunteer Fire Departments that have huge meeting rooms for bingo and the like. We contacted them and asked them if we could rent their "hall" for a dance. They said sure but you do not have to pay for it, all they asked is that we clean it when we left. We made a profit of $843.00. That was with charging $2.00 admission and we invited the parents to come along. Everyone had a great time. Most of our money was made off of concessions. it is an easy fundraiser and a whole lot of fun.

Hire out for odd jobs. Mowing lawns, washing cars, cleaning pools, raking , dog walking, anything people need done this time of year.

Host a meal at your church, make it simple. My youth group has done Spaghetti dinners and baked potato dinners. They are a quick way to earn a couple hundred dollars.
