Fundraiser Ideas for Students

Fundraiser Ideas for Students

1. Penny Auction – Students bring in old toys, games, books or other items to be auctioned off to fellow students.  Funds raised from the in-class auction go to support GLP’s Terrat Project.
2. Bake Sale
3. Car Wash
4. Rummage Sale
5. Can/bottle drive – Collect empty bottles and cans and take them to your local recycle center for cash.  Have the students tell neighbors and relatives about the drive, too!
6. Stop by your local garden center or privately owned nursery - People like to support the things they are passionate about.  If you have a local nursery, flower shop, or garden center, stop by and let the manager know about your upcoming class fundraiser for The Green Living Planet.  Ask if they would like to make a donation to the project.
7. Organize a potluck lunch or dinner – During the meal, collect a freewill donation offering from your diners, explaining that all funds raised go to the Terrat Project.
8. Penny War – If you have multiple classes participating, arrange a central location where students can deposit coins into collection jars.  Each penny in a class jar counts as one point.  Students can deposit nickels, dimes, and quarters in the jars of other classes to subtract points.  The class with the most points wins an ice cream or pizza party.
9. Garden Sale – Plant tomato, green bean, cucumber or other seeds in Dixie cups and have a garden sale for family, neighbors and friends.
10. Old CD/Book Collection – Collect old CDs and books and sell them at your local CD exchange store or used book store
11. Go Green! – Have the kids decorate and sell reusable shopping bags if you choose to host and event like a rummage sale, bake sale, or potluck.
12. Host an ice cream social – See if a local ice cream/yogurt stand is willing to donate ice cream or yogurt for the kids to sell to raise money.  Great advertising for them – and funds for the project!
13. Movie Day – See if a local movie theater will donate the theater for the day (they get money from concessions sold and you get ticket money raised) or host a movie night at school, selling tickets, popcorn and snacks – cheaper than going to the movies and it goes to a great cause.
