Fundraising Ideas For Schools Canada

Question: ideas for a fundraising event for a school group?

i have to put an awesome fund raising idea on a application to go on this trip with my school to somewhere in Canada! i really want to go and have a awesome idea for a fund raising event!!
please help!! any suggestions would be awesome!

Answer: List of ideas

Community dance or dance off (You know in the movie Grease where they have certain rules they have to follow and if they are broken then they are out or you could have it to wear there is dance teams going up against one another like Stomp the yard) or just a plain dance

You could have like a movie night where people pay so much to get in but have it cheaper than the local theaters and some refreshments.

Have a Carnival at your school sell raffle tickets. Make sure you get local businesses to contribute the prizes so you wont go in the hole.

Car washes always go pretty good especially in the spring and summer times.

Candy is always a good bet but its not very creative.

Have a talent contest where everyone has to pay to get in... like a dollar or something and make sure its in the daytime when you are suppose to have school so it guarantees that almost everyone will be there.

Well for Mother's day you guys could sell flowers or something like that. I dont know when this trip is so i dont know how long you have to come up with something.

This is kind of odd but if you can get some volunteers you can have like an auction of people... maybe your teachers? or some good students that people trust? And people pay for them to come to there homes and do what they want.. house work or maybe if a teacher buys a student they have to clean the classroom or something like that.

Its getting harder for me to come up with some now lol

Question: What are good charities to sponspr children living in poverty?

Answer: Compassion Internatonal
I know from experience this is the best one for how much money you will send.

The rewards for the child and you are worth more than money.

Question: Charities call me and let me feel guilty. How to avoid this?

I receive many calls from charities and non-goverment organizations asking me for a contribution. I don’t care if anyone gives money to them but I do not intend to share my taxed income at this point.
.
They usually speak a “sad dog eyes” language and it makes me feel guilty to refuse them. I registered in do-not-call list but charities are extempt from it.
.
Any idea how to avoid feeling guilty when not contributing? I consider it as some kind of blackmailing. I think this is different compared to say if someone asks for a cigarette, they just ask some neutral way perhaps.

Answer: "Guilty" is not something that comes upon you from outside. No one can "make" you feel guilty. Guilty is a choice you make. It has nothing to do with whether you actually ARE guilty or not...it has to do with a conflict between what you believe ("I really should contribute something to this cause, because the people they represent really need help!") and the actions you take (not making a contribution).

Keep foremost in your mind that you get to decide to whom you contribute money or time or effort, and to whom not. They may work at you, but you may hang up.

Question: Fundraising Ideas For My Theatre School ? UK only?

Hi my theatre school is in need of some fundraising ideas because our last show cost so much. I have asked only people in the UK only because i want ideas i can use here! lol

We have bag packing No stupid ideas – being serious
forgot to say we are doing a little show for three days in our building to fundraise to

Answer: Have a raffle. Blag or barter some cheap but nice prizes and raffle them off. Almost pure profit.
Name the teddy. Blag a big teddy, write a list of 100 names. £1 per name. People pick a name and the right name wins the bear.
Bake sale. Trust me, it can work wonders.
Balloon race, a lot of permission and stuff needed to do this but it earns.

Best of luck and hope this helps.
