What are some fundraising ideas to raise money for church?
We did a silent auction. People were able to donate things and get a tax write off. You'd be amazed at all the stuff people have received as gifts that they did not want. Scarves, costume jewelry, cologne, books, toys, DVDs, etc., etc. People also donated items like a bottle of wine, a box of cigars, a week at a time share we did a live auction on. We made gift baskets out of a bunch of small items. You fill a basket with the items and then buy a plastic bag at Michael's craft store. People also donated services like a haircut or two hours with an accountant. The CPA hoped that people would use him in the future. We got gift certificates from supermarkets and restaurants. We charged people for a dinner and then they bid on the items. We gave everyone who bought dinner a number for bidding. They wrote the number and their name on the bid sheet so we had two ways of figuring out what was written. We had minimum bids of 1/3 of the value of the item. So we made money on the dinner (which we had catered and tickets were sold in advance) and on the items which did not cost us anything.

Bake sales and raffles are always good for a few bucks.
Car washes too if the weather is good for it.
Also, carnivals, and chili dinners, pancake breakfasts are always lots of fun and can raise some money but you have to have the man power to get it done right.
