Fundraisers?
 

Hi Sisters--I need your help! I've been searching GC for great fundraising ideas and I haven't found any that really call to me. They seem to be the same old ideas or things that really don't gel with "Setting the Standard for Sisterhood".

I need ideas for a small group--less than 25 women. It needs to be something EASY and something, obviously, that makes a great deal of money with little money put out. Any ideas you have though would be welcome--we could possibly partner with another group on ideas for larger groups.

Thanks!
Heather

Fundraiser (sorry to intrude)
 

My chapter has been really succesfull with a BBQ/cookout. We can usually find a place to donate the meats... and each sister is responsible for either, two 2 liters of drink, or 3 bags of buns, or cups or whatever... whatever ends up being about equal dollar amount. Granted it prob. cost a bit more for only 25 ppl. but we have done well w/ only 30 sisters participating. We also borrow a frat's grill, and usually a guy or two to cook ;) I know it's the same old idea, but we usually sell tons of tickets, and the cost is easily covered at $3 a ticket, usually.

Heather--

Contact Epsilon Gamma at Stevens. They raise money like its going out of style, and they have a really small group. Look in your Convention binder for contacts, as they did win all of the philanthropy awards but one :)

Good luck dear!

Hi Heather!

Holly and I facilitated the Open Space Tech session on fundraising and the delegates in the session came up with some amazing ideas (really great ones for smaller groups too...). I will send you the list tonight when I get home.

Hope all is well,
Shelley V.

You guys are the best! I guess I should have been in the OST session--thank you!

Hello,
Im from Chapter Gamma Delta, and one of the things that worked for us was a donation car wash. The idea is that your 25 girls will be asked to find five sponsers for 10 cents a car, with the promise that only 100 cars will be washed. If you can get the place donated ( a fast food place might let yopu do it for free), all you have to do is purchase soap, sponges, etc. This can make you $1,250.00 minus you cost of supplies. Then you announce a free car wash for the first 100 cars, and people will still make donations. Good Luck. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me. anna_s_mendoza@yahoo.com

Hey Heather! I've been on here for a couple of months now...just haven't had much to say!

Canada is good! Rainy...but good!

Ladies - I promise the OST fundraising ideas are coming...hopefully tonight (internet was down last night because of the thunderstorm...)

Can you send that to me as well Shelley? Epsilon Omicron does their lottery fundraiser after cost (which is minimal) they clear a good amount, it just has to be well organized, def. works on a smaller campus. Their contact info is also on the site.

And my personal number one fundraiser...recruit recruit recruit!!!!
