Need Easy Winter Fundraising Ideas for Your School or Club?
Easy Winter Fundraising Ideas
Winter is a notoriously slow time for fundraising. Everyone has spent a lot of money during Christmas and need a break. However, you can take advantage of this slow time to do an extra fundraising campaign for your school, sports team, or school club. A great idea is to choose a product that students need to buy anyway, like snacks, school supplies, or spirit products. You can “sneak” in a sale and no one will realize you’re “fundraising” again! Other options could include: a raffle (with the prize being an electronic device that students would love) or offer a snow shoveling service. Now would also be a great time for a winter play or dance. A Sweetheart Dance in February, for example. Don’t let the winter season slip by without earning some extra funds!
7 Winter Fundraising Ideas for Winter:
1. Snack Foods
Offer an assortment of snack foods and candy from a table at school or at sports game concession stand. (Be sure and include a few healthy snacks!)
2. School Supplies
Sell at your school store or set up a table in your school hallway. Include pencils, pens, paper, notebooks and other school supplies. Smencils (scented pencils) with collectible toppers are a great novelty item for students.
