Fundraising Ideas For Kids That Will Surely Provide Fun And Profits

Fund raising events for kids are fun to organize and raising money is just a bonus!

Guidelines to kids fund raising event success:

1. Publicity. 

This is the most important part of your event.  Announce the event in newspapers, radio stations, flyers, posters, etc.  Make sure that you create a clear message that includes who and what the event is for, when and where will it be held, ticket prices, your cause and how much money you need to raise.

2. Get Eager and Competent Volunteers. 

Be sure that your volunteers are committed to your fundraising event. You need to orient them on how your event works, what your goals are and your anticipated results.

3. Choose a Popular Location.  

You need to hold the event some place that is familiar to everyone as a known address will increase your attendance. The location should be able to accommodate large crowds. 

Fund raising event for kids tips and ideas:

• Walk-a-thon, Dance Marathon or Bike Race.

This is fun for parents and kids.  You can make it interesting by requiring “parent-child” pairs only to participate.  You can collect monetary pledges every hour and sell refreshments.

• Beach Party. 

You can rent a pool and design it to look like a beach.  Offer booths that kids can rent where they can sell refreshments and snacks.  Put up water games.  Sell tickets that include entrance and water game participation.

• Tea Party Raffle. 

Ask for donations from toy stores, small gift items and major expensive toys.  Create a tea party environment.  Ask volunteers (eager kids from schools) to perform dances, songs, etc. Sell raffle tickets and charge entrance fee per child and sell snacks. 

• Ice-cream Party. 

Sell tickets where kids can have “eat all you can” ice-cream treat! Set a long table with lots of different ice-cream toppings, such as sprinkles, different fruits, different syrups, etc.  Kids will enjoy creating their own ice-cream.

• Pizza Fun Party. 

Create a “make your own pizza” fund raiser party.  Set up different pizza toppings on a buffet table where parents and kids can put on the toppings they choose, and then have their pizza baked. Sell tickets for every plate of pizza.  Also charge entrance fees.  For entertainment, ask kid volunteers to show-off their talents on stage.

By creating a fun, interesting and short event period, you make your fund raising kids party more appealing to potential customers and supporters.
