Great New Ways to Fundraise
By Shauna Hanus

After you have been involved in fundraisers for many years it is hard to come up with new and fun ways to fundraise.  With the following tips and hints in mind your next fundraiser can be exciting and new.

Think out side of the box when it comes to fundraising.  The old traditional ways to fundraise were great for your grandmother but now is the time to look for change.  We are living in a face paced and dynamic society that expects a lot of fun, glitz and glamour with every thing they do.  This includes fundraising.  Look for ways to shake up the old school and turn out a new hip and exciting fundraising campaign.

Ask your local teens to help.  Contact the head administrator of your local high schools and explain your idea.  Get the administrator to add in some motivation for the students by applying credit to volunteering or offering a ditch day at a local fun spot for kids.  Your kids will be thrilled to help if they know that next month they get to spend the day at the water park instead of at the desk.

Look for free venues.  If you live ocean side the beach is a great place to start.  If you are in the mountains look for a local park or reserve that can stand as your venue.  There are a lot of ways to think creatively when it comes to venue.  Where would you like to go on a Saturday?  Take your own desires and turn them into creative fundraising.

Dig out your old game of Clue and look for that for inspiration.  Create a murder mystery party or some other type of sleuthing event.  Your participants will have a great time playing while you are raising funds.  Just be sure to take your time in planning.  You want to be sure that all your I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed before you begin.

Take some time up front to draft a well written creative fund raising letter.  Then solicit to large corporations and retailers in your area.  Do not be afraid of no, it is only a word just keep on asking.
