Fundraising ideas for mission trip?
I am planning on going to a mission trip to Guatemala in August, and I wanted to know some ideas for fundraising. The church I am going through does not have fundraising for the people going, but only specifically for projects once we get down there. What would be appropriate? Would a bake sale at work be appropriate? Is there a letter format I can send out to family/friends, or is that tacky? I need $1,000…any suggestions? I've never done this before!
send a letter to all your family and friends telling them you are having a yard sale to raise the money for the mission trip. ask them to clean out all their drawers and closets and donate their stuff. also ask them to help you man the tables. Do NOT ask for money. The people most likely to donate money will probably do it anyway. You would be surprised how much money you can make this way. The trick is to sort the things carefully and spend a little time wiping off things, maybe even iron clothes. My friend does this regularly. She has a sale several times a year. She usually brings in $300 – $400 a sale! Imagine how much you could make if you had the junk from 6 – 8 households! Good luck!

Carwashes are always great (especially since the weather is starting to get nicer).

There is always the traditional bake sale, car wash, and craft sale, which are good options. Here is a list of just a few fundraisers that are through companies:
