One idea that totally went off well was during exams we would often sell "snack packs" - a gift bag from the dollar store with an info sheet about our philanthropy inside with candy, cookies, small bottle of water etc. We also included No. 2 pencils with AZD tag hot glued to the side that just said "Good Luck on your Exams From AZD". We sold the bags for like $3 each and all the proceeds went to our philanthropy.
We got all the supplies from the dollar store and Sam's Club. We ended up making close to $250 after we broke even. Not too shabby!!!
We also sold the No. 2 pencils on the side for $.50 ea if the student just needed them. And situated a table at both cafeterias, the library and the student center.
