50-50 Raffle
-
Raise money by holding a 50-50 raffle, where the winner gets half of the money collected and your organization keeps the other half. Sell raffle tickets for a set amount, usually one or five dollars is good. At the end of the sale, put all of the tickets into a box and draw one lucky winner.
Board Game Night
-
Hold a board game party, where participants pay one dollar for each game they play. In order to cut down on costs, borrow the board games from members of your organization. Make sure these games don't take too long to play, as you want people to have time to play many in order to earn more money. You can also sell food and drinks at this event in order to earn extra profits.

Yard Clean Up
-
Organize a yard clean up. Advertise this in advance to get the word out, so that people know what day you will be offering this service. You will also need to create a price list, detailing the yard projects you will do and what you'll charge for each of them. When the day of the event comes, organize your group into teams of a few different people. Have them go door to door offering to clean up neighbors' yards for a small fee. This will be very inexpensive to prepare for and can produce impressive returns.
Prom Dress Sale
-
Create advertisements asking for donations of used prom dresses and even bridesmaid dresses. Use these donated dresses to hold a prom dress sale during the springtime, when girls are searching for their dresses for the big dance. Depending upon the dress, charge anywhere between $25 and $45 for each one. This fundraiser should be very popular, as many people look for places to donate used prom and bridesmaid dresses, just as many girls often have a hard time affording a dress to wear to the prom.
