Free Fundraising Ideas

Having a profitable fundraiser is your goal. Try these ideas at your event.

Rent one of our Carnival Packages or Big Event packages. Sell tickets and raise $$$$$.   For each ride or game, collect two or more tickets. And for your main attractions, collect 4 or more tickets. Sell your tickets in advance or set-up a ticket booth for guests. Some school of thought suggest selling wrist bands however we believe that allows the kids to run free without a control and it gives the parents the idea they don’t have to watch their kids

Selling Hot Dogs and Burgers is always a great way to generate fundraising income. Another way is to approach Togos, Boston Market, Subway, and many other big chains, they will bring the food out and charge their normal price and donate ½ to your organization.

Organize relay races through an obstacle course or ride the Hopping Ponies race, and raffle off a prize. You can often get great prizes donated by local businesses for your fundraiser in exchange for advertising at your event, so ask around.

Set up a themed event, for any holiday. Surprise your guests with a unique event.

  Hosting a casino royal party is another great fundraising idea.  Send out invitations with an admission price. Your dressed up guests receive a set amount of laying chips, then try their luck to win even more. By the end of the night, they turn in their chips to redeem a nice prize. The high rollers may win a Gift Card to a nice restaurant, or a gag gift for the biggest losers. Everyone goes home having a fun night out.

Find local businesses who will sponsor your fundraising event in exchange for advertising as your official sponsor. Food supplies, items for raffle prizes or use of their parking lot for the event are great things to ask.

Teachers, Principal, or other school authority figures: Kids can pay for a chance to send an authority figure into the Dunk Tank. You can also turn it into a raffle. The winning ticket-holder gets to dunk the principal!

What talents are hidden away in your group? Between churches and youth groups, there is probably a wealth of talent with little opportunity for exposure. Showcase and organize a talent show filled with singing, dancing, acting, comedy and music during your event!

The classic fundraising technique, but amp it up with fun activities and games for customers to play while their cars are being washed.
