Fundraising Ideas
Ladies, I work for a non-profit and we need funds like asap.. Does anyone have any ideas for fundraising? Also, before I forget.. I have no budget and if i ask for money from my board of directors, they do not want to contribute unless it is a last resort.
TIA for your ideas.

Re: Fundraising Ideas
An auction (ask local businesses or distributers/venders that you work with to contribute things so that all $ goes towards the organization)
Put on a dinner/gala and charge $100 or so for a seat, feed them a good meal blah blah blah...
I was pretty impressed with them!
We did this for a fundraiser this summer and it turned out great (the boobieque) - local grocery stores and a restaurant chain donated all the food and liquor was donated by local stores. We charged each person and also did a raffle at the event. We only charged a little bit since it was fairly informal and its was mostly friends, but a lot of people participated in the raffle, and even more people simply wrote us a nice check.
I have copied down these ideas. I like the pink flamingo idea alot thanks
boobieque sounds doable.. Thanks
I don't know how much money you need and what scale of fundraising you're talking about, but this is simple and popular if you work in a large office building where you'd have access to lots of people.
Call any of the chain pizza places and tell them you're a non-profit looking to fundraise. Here, the fundraiser price is $6 for a large pizza. Buy canned soda on sale at the grocery store. Create a "meal deal" where you get 2 slices of pizza and a drink for $3.50 (we played around with pricing for several weeks - this is the sweet spot). We netted $250 in 4 days of selling for 2 hours a day.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I am a yearbook advisor at the school where I teach. We are selling holiday wreaths and garlands through www.christmasforest.com. We make 10% on every wreath that is sold when customers make purchases using our school code. It's really easy to set-up. We advertised it to our school constituents, but I've also sent the link to my personal contacts, because I know many people send those items as gifts to their business contacts around the holidays.
You can also do a community cookbook. Not sure what type of non-profit you work for, but we sent an email to all our contacts asking for recipes. Then we put together a "family cookbook" and had them printed and bound for cheap. there are websites that do this inexpensively too. sell the cookbooks at craft fairs, company events, the grocery store, etc.
