What's your all time favorite fundraising technique?
Anyone working or volunteering for a small nonprofit for any length of time surely has a favorite.
Please take a moment to share your favorites here.
A few of my favorites:
Fall Fest - Little Compton Community Center
Volunteers offer to host a dinner party in their home. Community members purchase tickets and sign up for the dinner of their choice. At the end of the evening everyone gathers together in a functional hall for dessert. Because the hosts pay for food and local caterers donate the desserts the full ticket price goes directly to the charity. The expenses are minimal - mainly the printing and mailing of the invitations. Today a smart non-profit could do on-line invites and save that cost as well.
Calendar Raffle - Wilbur School 8th Grade Class
In December kids sell a one month calendar for the month of January. The calendar costs $5 and offers modest ($25-$100) cash prizes for every day in the month. A winner is drawn daily. The sales income pays for the prized and the "leftovers" went to the sellers to help pay for their class trip. A great - low cost - almost no cost - kid fundraiser.
