The Easy Fundraising Ideas Ultimate Guide
Easy fundraising ideas are a dime a dozen on the internet. Everyone seems to think you want a giant list of endless possibilities for raising money. We bet you've probably seen a couple of sites that had massive lists of every type of fundraiser imaginable. Fundraisers you'd never do in a million years. Even fundraisers touted as "easy fundraisers" that wouldn't even be appropriate for your team or group! Well, we figure if you're looking for easy, you certainly don't want to spend hours researching the best fundraiser for your team or group - you just want a quick fundraiser reference guide and to be done with it!
We did all the research so you don't have to!
Below you’ll find easy fundraising ideas that are perfect for your group. Ideas that really take into account how simple the fundraiser is to plan and promote, along with how much money you can raise in the shortest time.
Raising money is a necessary part of team sports and organizations, but it doesn't have to be a pain to be fun and profitable!
Our Criteria For An Easy, Profitable Fundraiser
Here are some quick rules we laid down early in our search for the perfect fundraiser for your team or organization:
- The fundraiser can’t be complicated
- It has to truly benefit the community and make financial sense
- It cannot make your supporters fat or sick
- Your fundraiser must be quick to implement, get done, and get funding in the door
- It should have a recurring element so you don’t have to have big fundraisers once or twice a year, but have funding coming in year-round
- A good fundraiser should be different, unique, and not like everyone else runs
Tired of Outdated Fundraisers?
Not only are teams and groups tired of the following types of fundraisers, but community supporters are as well. This leads to a lot of effort, for less than ideal dollars.
- Walkathons
- Chili Cookoffs
- Silent Auctions
- Golf Tournaments
- Battle of the Bands
- Sing-a-thons
- Carnivals
- Trivia Nights
- Concerts
- Bingo Nights
- Dance Offs
- Marathons
- Talent Shows
- Fundraising Parties
- Art Auctions
- Car Washes
This is a tiny list of what baseball, softball, gymnastics and other teams and groups use to raise money, and they are all tired and take a lot of work to organize. Usually, groups have more fundraising to do, especially for expensive things like travel baseball or other travel sports, for which you need to raise thousands of dollars per player.
