A sale is a classic fundraising idea, which can become a single event or complement other fundraisers.
Spice up a typical bake sale by including recipes with goods sold. Add a theme or seasonal touch to the event, or cater to specific dietary needs.
Parents often end up with lots of baby clothes, toys and more. Collect the stuff, clean it, sort it and sell it to new parents and grandparents for a good cause.
Many of us love homemade cakes, pies and cookies but are too busy to bake during the holidays. So why not bake for your friends and family? Create an order form with a delivery date option, so people can customize orders and ensure they receive their treats on time.
This idea works best for schools, camps and daycares. Encourage children to draw or paint pictures, and then bind them together to create a beautiful coffee-table book. It can include information about your cause. Give advance notice so parents can pre-order.
Combine favourite recipes to create a cookbook. Include a chapter about your cause, and sell it to friends and family.
Tournaments are great for practically any game. You can raise funds through participation fees, admission tickets as well as on-site food and beverage sales.
Let participants choose their favourite board game to play. Give out prizes to the winners you can approach local businesses for contributions. Charge an entrance fee, a fee to play and sell refreshments.
This can be an online event. Gather teams or individuals to play videogames. Charge an entry fee and spectator fee. Give the winner a prize.
Darts, paintball, bowling, tennis, hockey, soccer.
Commit to doing something difficult, and then get people to sponsor you. Participate in a race or initiate an online challenge. An online challenge usually involves making a video of yourself performing a tough task in support of your cause and challenging your friends to do the same and to donate. The classic example is the “ice-bucket challenge.” Include educational material about your cause when you reach out to sponsors.

This popular fundraising idea is best for early spring. Gather willing participants who have raised money, then you all take the plunge. Sell hot chocolate and chili on site.
Get sponsored to run cross-country, facing different terrain and several obstacles. Use GPS as a guide.
Pick a category (one that helps raise awareness for your cause), register with Guinness, and get sponsors to back you. Then break the world record.
The dirtier you get, the better. Get sponsored to run a gruelling race through mud, and earn funds for your cause based on the number of kilometres you run.
Post a video of yourself singing a song, and challenge your friends to do the same and donate.
Auctions can run as standalone events or as part of almost any other fundraising idea. The most profitable ones raise money by auctioning donated items or services. Many businesses are glad to contribute in exchange for advertising, and you can sell refreshments on site.
This idea is great for schools, universities and camps. Auction off a graduating class or elders of a student group as personal assistants for a day.
Get local artists to donate pieces to your auction, and/or announce an “art jam” where local artists create art together; each piece is then auctioned off.
Get local professionals to donate vouchers for services, and auction them off. This idea works well in combination with a golf tournament.
Get local artists and teachers to donate private classes. Create coupons and auction them off. This idea is especially successful in combination with a charity dinner.
Almost any idea can become a fundraising event. Most often, money is raised through ticket sales, but you can add other sales, auctions and games to your affair.
