Church Fundraisers

Me, my dad, sister, and some other people from our church want to go to Guatemala next summer to work at an orphanage and other things. My dad says that if I want to go(which I REALLY do), I have to get $500 by next summer. Any good fundraising ideas for us?

1. if ur good at like painting or making jewelry u could sell that…
2. mow lawns
3. rake leaves
4. if u are like 14+ u could work like on tobacco or DD or McDonald’s maybe
5. Shovel/snow blow people’s driveways
6. Walk peoples dogs
7. pet sit
8. baby sit
9. car wash
10. small carnival/fair (that might b a bit challenging)
11. Pedel papers (deliver papers just call up your local newspaper for a job u can do this at any age)
12. more chores
13. trim people’s hedges/bushes
14. sell arts and crafts outside of like a grocery store or something (make sure it is ok with the store first)

Well that’s about all i have good luck!!!

Here is a little footage from the Kairos Church Abba Fundraising Night held on Friday 10th June 2011. The night was held to raise funds for little Leah Ligertwood who has Diplegic Cerebral Palsy and is going to USA to have a special operation called Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy which will enable her to walk normally & have a normal life

We are a church youth group planning on going to Oaxaca, Mexico to work on building a school. Its VERY important to us. We need to raise approx. 1000 per kid. If you have and ideas on fundraising events, or and businesses that may be willing to sponsor us. Please, let me know.

My son’s French club raised $1,066 per student for a trip to Quebec City by selling 6-inch hoagies (subs) for $3.50 each. The sales were phenomenal. Nearly everyone asked was happy to purchase a sandwich. At $3.50, this was something affordable to all. On the day the sandwiches were to be distributed, the students gathered in the school cafeteria to make them assembly-line style, which took only 2-3 hours. This is one of the most successful fundraisers we have ever participated in.

Another popular fundraiser is a cookbook sale. Perhaps the women of your church could help in soliciting and gathering recipes, with an equal amount from total sales being deposited in each child’s account. This would also work well for church bake sales, quilt raffles, rummage sales, spaghetti dinners, etc.

The members of a local church are often seen in front of our Walmart selling bags of various flavored Tootsie Rolls for $2 each. They do this each year, to fund trips to South America.

Another successful fundraiser in our area has been the ever-popular candy bar sales through a local candy maker. Ask at your school for the names of the candy salesmen they use. We also have a pizza shop that participates in $5 cheese pizza sales, as well as a convenience store that offers coupons for a sandwich, chips and drink for $5. As with the hoagie sales, these are enormously popular. Check with the pizza shops and convenience stores in your area to see if they offer similar fundraising opportunities.

Last but not least, a local public school teacher found her calling in Uganda, where she eventually settled to set up an orphanage. Through the generous donations of the students who deposited the change from their lunch money into a jar each day, an orphanage, clinic, and school were built and furnished in just over three years. Where there’s a will…

It is my hope that you are able to utilize some of these ideas. Good luck to you and your group.
