DIY Fundraising Ideas For You To Try

By Olivia Cross


There are many reasons why one may need to raise money quickly and almost effortlessly. These include medical bills or an emergency, or to help with travel expenses for perhaps a sports team or a representative of some sort. Where the funds needed may not be huge amounts, these DIY fundraising ideas are quick and easy ways that require very little preparation but can help a great deal.

Check the time of year to see if there are any special days you can make use of in raising money. You can arrange a service that delivers singing telegrams for Mother's Day. Alternatively, buy some relevant items in bulk and deliver them by hand to customers' loved ones on Valentine's Day, like a single rose or candy and a card.

Everyone wants to live in a clean environment, but nobody really wants to do any cleaning outdoors. Organize a small group of people to pick up litter and leaves around the neighbourhood on a given day. Residents can give donations as a form of payment for a job well done.

When raising funds for a sports team, it's a good idea to keep the fundraising event in line with the theme. Perhaps help is needed with travel expenses for a team to participate in a tournament. Host a smaller tournament where others have the opportunity to challenge the sports team with their own team. They have to pay a small amount to challenge the team, and people can make donations to come and watch the match.

Traditional ways to raise money have included a car wash and also a bake sale. Find new and original ways to put a spin such ideas and make them even more fun. In the past, car washes have been made more appealing by having ladies in bikinis washing the vehicles. For a younger crowd, a bike wash is a good idea.

Everyone enjoys playing games, be it a board game or something more physical like Twister. It's also a really good way to get everyone to socialize while coming together for a cause. Host a games night where people pay to participate, either a standard amount at the door or they can pay smaller amounts for each game they want to play. Set up different areas where different types of games are played. Include card games, board games and group games like Charades or Pictionary as well. Provide refreshments for everyone.

Raise funds over a period of time by printing out sponsor sheets and getting people to give a certain amount for a particular achievement. For example, if a fun run were being organized, participants would get sponsored by friends and family for every mile completed. A Quit-It event is a great idea for helping people to stop bad habits like smoking or eating too much junk food. Sponsors can pledge a particular amount for every day without a cigarette.

You should always use the resources available to you to organize a fundraising event. Get your friends or colleagues in the cause together and have a little brainstorming session based on everyone's individual skills. Then use the points to come up with ways to make money without having to spend a lot of money in the process.
