Fundraising Events Ideas to Complement Your FundScrip Campaign
Starting a fundraising campaign can be a little intimidating. While you’re looking for fundraising ideas and methods to reach your goals, it might seem impossible to make a choice from those numerous options. The good news is that you don’t have to; nothing prevents you from using multiple fundraisers. In fact, a lot of our groups use FundScrip while doing other types of fundraising events like marathons, garage sales and more. Combining different fundraising methods can help you reach your goals faster.
We all know how FundScrip works well over the long term when you make your everyday purchases using gift cards, but did you know that FundScrip also works great for short term events as well? The key is to promote your FundScrip campaign during your fundraising event. You can pass around paper order forms, sell gift cards in person, sign people up on the spot using a laptop or tablet, and even pay for the event supplies with gift cards bought from FundScrip.
With that idea in mind, here are some fundraising event ideas that your supporters might enjoy:
Yard Sale
Ask your members to bring objects from their houses they will never use again; they will be glad to get rid of them while supporting their group. You would then be able to organize your own yard sale.
Outdoor Movie
Nothing is better than watching a movie under the stars. An outdoor movie night will help you raise money while enjoying the summer months.
Spaghetti Dinner
Another classic fun community oriented fundraising event. Spaghetti is yummy and very affordable, and people won’t mind paying a few dollars more for it to help a good cause. You can even use FundScrip gift cards to pay for the ingredients!
Olympics
A day of fun challenges can be really entertaining for your members. You will be able to reach more people from your community that will be happy to support your cause. You can raise money by selling tickets and treats. Don’t forget to include a booth to sell gift cards, you could raise even more!
There are a ton of fundraising ideas for your campaign, and FundScrip works very well with other fundraising events. Do you have other fun event ideas?
