Fundraising Ideas

Use services like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace to sell items around your house you no longer need or use.

One person's junk is another person's treasure. Team up with others to increase your supply and reach.

Dust off the old recipe book and whip up some irresistible treats for people in your neighborhood or at an event.

Double points for helping the environment while you fundraise for a good cause. Try asking neighbors for additional waste.

Up your self-discipline game and say "no" to Starbucks for a week (or whatever happens to be your vice of choice).

The tried and true fundraising activity. Host or participate in a bike-a-thon, walk-a-thon, or whatever-other-a-thon you come up with.

If you have a job that lets you stay an hour or two later at a higher rate, take advantage and rack up some sweet time-and-a-half.

Get your hands dirty and offer to do some house cleaning, yard work, painting, etc.

Doing well with Uncle Sam and want to hit next year's charitable deduction goal? Consider setting aside some of your refund for Special Contribution.
