Sometimes you need to think outside the box with your fundraising efforts!
Are you trying to plan a fundraiser but are unsure of which directions to take? You can take the traditional approach and host something like a bake sale or a silent auction. On the other hand, you can be unconventional and shake things up a bit! It may turn out to be a wise decision on your part. With that said, here are four creative fundraising ideas to consider!
Flea Market
A great way to raise money is to host a flea market! Have friends and family members round up any clutter in their home and contribute it to your flea market. You may be amazed how many items people will end up bringing you. If you market your flea market well enough, you should expect to get an assortment of clothes, kitchen items, and child toys. You should also sell tickets for people to come to your event.
Scavenger Hunt
When most people envision a fundraiser they don’t usually think about scavenger hunts; however, they can be a lot of fun and are an excellent way to raise money! There are many directions you can take when you construct your fundraising scavenger hunt. You can make yours very family-oriented so parents and children of all ages can join in on the fun.
