Things You'll Need:
- Volunteers
- Fund-raising ideas
-
Step 1
Decide how much money you need to make. The amount of money needed will help determine the size and scope of the project.
-
Step 2
Assess the number of volunteers you have to work on the fund-raiser. The number of people and how much time they have to give will play a role in what can be done.
-
Step 3
Look at what is already being done in your area. If two other schools in town sell magazines, you may want to try something different.
-
Step 4
Research different fund-raising ideas. Find out how much other schools make on similar projects. Remember to keep in mind the size of the school and of the community, since this will impact the outcome.
-
Step 5
Set up your committee of volunteers. Assign jobs. Positions you may need include a marketing person, volunteer coordinator, inventory handler and money collector.
-
Step 6
Advertise for your fund-raiser. Get the kids at school excited about the project, and make sure the parents know what you are doing and why.
-
Step 7
Provide any incentives that you can in order to encourage student participation. This can be done with group or individual goals. The prizes can be as simple as letting your kids be out of uniform for a day if they meet their goal.
