Proven Fundraising Opportunities Springfield That Work

By Harold Martin


If you are running an organization, chances are that you will need money to support your work. One of the ways you can raise this money is through fundraising. This is especially if you are doing charitable work. The best thing is to explore different fundraising opportunities Springfield instead of just focusing on one. There are a number of things you can do to catch the attention of other people and get them involved in your campaigns.

One of the easiest things you can do is to have a yard sale. In this case. Talk to members of the community and request them to donate items to you. You can then take these items, clean them up, repair them and then sell them to the public at a yard sale. You get to keep all the proceeds from the sale. To increase the amount of money that you raise, talk to major shops and well known people in the area and ask them to donate major things or help you create a buzz about the yard sale.

You can also ask people to deny themselves something in their life and instead donate the money they would have spent on that thing to a good cause. It doesn't even have to be a lot of money. It can be money they use to buy coffee for a day or even one meal in a day. Just make sure to let them know the financial impact their donations will have on the recipients.

You can organize a trivia event. You can do this in a town hall or you can talk to a restaurant owner or a club owner and hold the event there. Challenge various groups to sign up for the trivia. Groups get charged an admission fees to participate. Other people who come will also have to pay a fee at the entrance. You can challenge the groups to compete to see which group will raise the most money.

Selling craft items can also be a good idea. Get someone crafty and let him teach other people how to make various craft items. You can sell the items to other people. You can even sell them online, so as to attract a wide clientele of people.

Coming up with a recipe book is also a great idea. Ask different people to contribute at least one recipe that they like. Put all these recipes together and make a recipe book out of it. Ask a local design student to design the book. Sell the cookbook you have made.

T-shirt fundraisers are also quite popular. Design some nice t-shirts and then sell them out. Make sure to let people know that you are selling them, so that they can order.

You can also organize a potluck meal. Have different people bring different dishes. Then ask community members to show up for the meal. Charge people a small amount of money as entry fee for the meal. This way, all the parties involved win and feel that they have made a valuable contribution.
