Fundraising Ideas For Mutual Funds

By Debra Edwards


Making money for a greater good can be frustrating but to keep your spirits up it is important to remember that there are so many ideas you can generate in order to reach your mutual funds raising goal and ensure smiles all around, and be remembered for have done something positive for the community. This way you are killing two birds with one stone.

A book sale is a great method to raise funds. Books are no shortage and are easy to get enough together for a successful fundraiser. To ensure that you get a variety of books from all genres. Go to a local school, ask the principal to send a note to the childrens parents to donate any old books or other items they may have at home that can be sold. Urge your friends and family to do the same.

Have a room or area designated for the collected items, perhaps go to your local supermarket and collect boxes that you can hand out to your friends and family for them to place the items in before they hand them over to you. Make sure people know about your event, invite friends, family, and your community to come by and support your market.

Although a sale is a great way to generate funds, collect some old books, cd, DVD or vinyl, should not be so difficult but it may be a bit overdone. Try and be creative. Bring out the elbow grease by having a local car wash. With the service of a tea garden or food stall to occupy car owners while they wait a moment for their soon to be squeaky clean car. People are never opposed to the idea of having a clean car for an affordable fee.

If you really want to get active, an idea is to hold a fun run or aerobics marathon, through gaining participation from a gym or sports club. You should find people sponsor participants and create participant sponsorship forms. Or you can keep it simple and host a fun run, marking out a relatively easy route and inviting everyone to join for a morning outdoors.

Dog walking is a good way for people to have fun, encourage participants to bring their dogs along for a fee. Maybe throw some fun into the mix by having a theme and a best-dressed dog competition, or if you love it an agility dog challenge.

Animal lovers and pet lovers may be keen to have their furry friends partake in a show. A pet show is a great fundraiser. Have your community members enter their pets for a fee and each participant can showcase their pet and maybe a talent.

Charity collection tins are a great way to get raise funds, go to all your local shops and stores to place your tins at every check-out counter, ask your friends to take one to work, ask the local school if you can circulate the tin around the classrooms. Raising funds should be an experience full of fun and memorable moments but with effective results.
