Our girl’s youth group is raising money so that we can all go to girl’s camp, or at least pay less than we usually have to.
What are some really cool creative ideas to raise as much money as possible?
We can’t have an auction be our main source of money because our Bishop doesn’t want all of the church members to have to basically pay for the camp every year, especially if they don’t have a daughter even going to camp.
So, anything to appeal to the public?
We’ve tried garage sale,
But not everybody participated, and yeah.
So; Ideas?
Hi Lynne,
First off, here are a few sites you might want to check out for fundraising.

Suggestions I would make are:
1. A Bake Sale – After (or before) church sell baked goods to the congregation. You can also sell some good coffee. If you don’t want to bake see if the local donut shop will give you a deal on donuts to sell.
2. Chores – Offer to do chores for members of the church. Car washing, yard work, etc. could bring in some good money.
3. Dinner and a Show – Put together a show with all the girls doing 8-10 skits (kind of like Saturday Night Live) while parents and friends eat a dinner you all made. Spaghetti is easy to make a lot of.
4. Restaurants – Some restaurants like Round Table Pizza and Carl’s Jr. have a fundraising program where you invite everyone you know to eat dinner there one night (basically having a big party) and your group gets a portion of the money.
5. Parent’s Night Out – At your church or someone’s home provide an evening where parents of the church can drop off their kids. While you and the other girls babysit the kids the parents can have a nice evening out.
6. Door to Door Car Wash – Find a safe neighborhood and go door to door asking residents if they would like a car wash. Make sure you have a hose, soap, rags, etc. Either have a parent drive the stuff around in their car or keep it all in a cart that you can pul from house to house.
7. If all else fails kidnap the Bishop and hold him for ransom. As long as it’s all in good fun.
Good luck!

I am a 16 year old president of a church youth group. We are planning to go to Philidelphia in July. Right now we are possibly looking at $600 dollars a person. I am trying to find business that will donate cash or something we could use (food or drinks) to help cut some of those cost. Please refer and one willing to help or even fundraising ideas. Thanks.
I traveled as a student ambassador when I was a couple years back, and I had to do a lot of fundrasing. I would recommend meeting with different local business, or writing letters to them explaining what you are raising money for. Local business are a better place to look for help because they are more likely to sponsor things that are in their neighboor. Far as corporate sponsorship I would not recommend it because they recieve a lot of request and it would take a long time to recieve any sporing. Setting up at a craft fair is a good idea. Some of the craft planner will wave the fee. Selling candy like suckers can be good because at craft fair most parents bring kids and there is not much their for the kids. This can also be a good outlet for donates from a community and getting the word out. Newspapers will sometimes publish article that can help get the word out, if you contact the newspaper they might put something in the newspaper about it and this can help get donations.

I raise money for my Humane Society. Bake sales, Hot dog sales, silent auctions, putting a “famous” person in”prison” and letting people bail him out, food drives in school, penny drives in school, get a local radio station to help you, make a drop off at the local food store so people can donate food as they leave the store.
good Luck!
