Your Turn to Learn How to Fundraise
First, relax and realize that learning how to fundraise is going to be a big part of your daily activities. Others have asked you for donations before, now you are going to return the favor. Rejection is a natural part of learning how to fundraise, and some will donate and others will not be interested. Only concern yourself with what it takes to find the gems.
Remember to keep fundraising simple and fun and you will enjoy it. Here are some ideas of simple fundraising activities. You can add your own ideas to the list by thinking about what would interest you to donate to your organization.
Activities That Teach How to Fundraise
Money Per Mile
Do an activity that comes naturally to you like walking, biking, swimming or even cleaning. Pick a date when you will do one of these activities for a set distance. Have people pledge to give you a certain donation amount per mile or lap. If you like to clean you could clean rooms or houses for people in exchange for a donation.
Lawn Care and Chores
A quick and easy way to add donations to the bottom line is to do lawn care like mowing, raking leaves, sweeping walks, or even shoveling snow.
Yard Sale
Similar to a Thrift Store, have everyone you know donate items to a yard sale where you sell the items to raise money for the nonprofit. It is a great way to give them a tax deductible receipt for their unwanted items and teach yourself an easy way how to fundraise.
Spaghetti Dinner
For the price of Spaghetti, sauce, ground beef and garlic bread, you can throw a fundraising dinner party. This will give you ample time to inform those that attend about your nonprofit and how they can donate. You can scale the party to small or even large events and suggest a donation to attend. The food could even be donated by a local store.
Bake Sale
Get several friends and family to contribute baked items to a sale that you hold on the sidewalk of a local grocery store. For a few dollars and some time to bake the items, you can have an easy fundraiser that takes little time to plan.
The ideas above are just a few ways you can learn to fundraise in easy and fun ways. Have fun and come up with your own ideas and involve family and friends. Learning how to fundraise for many is difficult but by making it fun it can be much easier.
