A Few Of Fundraising Charity Ideas

By Amy Lee


At some point in life, we have to participate or throw a fundraiser. This can be in the form of various activities and events. You may choose to have a ball, a sports events, a teamwork challenge among many other things. This article is however on community-based fundraising charity ideas. This is a few of the ways a community can quickly raise money.

Throwing a street party is always fun. This is where all the families gather in the street and have fun together. There usually is a volunteer emcee who gives directions on what is to be done. The different families make different meals which are shared by everyone. After all the dining and entertainment, they can discuss on money raising.

When you are trying to get rid of all the things you do not need any more you automatically have a garage sale. Having one as a community may rake in loads of money seeing as it will be a big event, people from all over may come to see if they can get something they need. The money acquired can be directed to the cause of the fundraiser which is easier method as you sell what you no longer require.

A car wash is also a good way of raising money. This can be a done by a selected section of people. For example, the football team members. They can clean up the vehicles for a fee. This money is in turn used to fund the project in question. It is one of the most effective fundraising methods as people will always have dirty cars.

The other option is washing dogs. This is fun for both parties. People love their pets so much that they would pay cash to see them have fun. It can be a play date with the dog followed by cleaning the dogs. After washing and drying them, you can groom them and give them the best possible look. This is a project for professional groomers as a way of raising money.

Most ladies love shopping more than anything else. They would jump at the chance of shopping without having to pay for it. This is where cloth swapping comes in. This is where by you bring out the clothes you no longer wear and hang them on a rack. People will come around and pick out the things they like. That which is left can be donated to those who need it.

Another idea is convincing the local restaurant to donate their tips for one night to the less fortunate. You may also opt to ask them to donate a nights worth of profit to the less fortunate. The other option is having them cook a yummy meal for the homeless and less fortunate as a way of giving back to the community.

Scavenger hunting is always fun for everyone. You can set aside a day just for this purpose. You can set an enrollment fee and also sell snacks at reasonable prices. This is sure to raw competitors like moths to a flame. It is both fun and helpful.
