I have been reading practically the same post over and over again. Either its people asking for help and getting the same responses (like info to sell candles, candy, bake sales...etc.) but I was hoping to find some out of the box ideas.
No matter if you have done them, if they have worked or not, I am hoping to get some "out of the box" fundraising ideas.
Please dont flood my post with your company's info and how I can contact you about selling magazines or credit cards (I have found these are not that easy, and usually come back with little or no profit.)  |
Are you trying to raise money for your philanthropy or for your chapter?
Each GLO at my school does something different to raise money for our individual philanthropies. (Pool Tournaments, Skeet Shooting, Riding the bull, Golfing...) The GLO holds these events and gets local stores to sponsor their tshirts or signs. All the other GLOs participate in this philanthropy with teams. Normally it's $25 a team to participate and $5 to watch your GLO participate. All the money goes to the philanthropy. These events normally raise thousands and are really a lot of fun to watch and participate in!
