What types of fundraisers are there? -

My friend and I are trying to do fundraisers for the welfare of animals. We are doing a bake sale currently, but we want to know all the possible ways to raise money.

There s a company called DoodlyCouch that offers workbooks and journals for all sorts of people - they have one specifically for kids, as well. These are drawing journals - so you draw out the answer to How do you feel today? instead of writing it. They sell the books on Amazon and on their website (www.DoodlyCouch.com), but they also have a fundraising program and they let you make money by selling their books, with no money up front and no minimum order. You could combine this with something fun like an art contest and prizes maybe, and have people draw their pets or other animals to bring the awareness?

Some companies require you to buy their product, and then you try to resell it (that s the money up front). Also, some companies require you to meet a certain minimum order - like.. you only get the discounted sales price if you sell at least 50 of their product. DoodlyCouch doesn t do either.

I suppose anything where people can come to your office or table to buy and give you the money. When the organizations I belonged to fundraised we did either cookies, candles or candy. There are companies that provide those products for a cut of the money you bring in. You need to make sure the product is fresh if it s consumable though.If you plan to do any kind of contests where you collect money and then give out money at the end (like when there is a winner) I think you have to check with your state first as I think there are laws governing this.

Bake sale sounds good. Here are some others:Set Up Contests with Entry Charges Sell Items for Your ShelterYard SaleHope that helps! -Rachel
