If you are struggling with ideas for fundraisers there are lots of ideas to choose from.
You can have an auction, a bean dinner, or a bake sale; you could even have a raffle.
Just remember you want to keep you expenses low, get everything donated that you possibly can because it makes for much more profit for your charity or organization.
For instance if you want to have a bean dinner to help support your local fire department, you can start by going to local grocers and asking if they can donate the fixings for your beans and cornbread.
Most will be willing to donate a few bags of dried beans or a bag of cornmeal.
And you can get volunteers to support your ideas for fundraisers by actually do the cooking.
You can also get volunteers to supply salads or desserts for your dinner.
You can probably work out a deal with one of the local soft drink companies to get soft drinks free or at a minimal cost.
Usually, the firehouse or local school will be willing to house the fundraiser and usually they will help with the advertising.
And usually the local newspaper is happy to assist you in your ideas for fundraisers when it involves a community project.
They can be a big help with getting the word out.
You can charge up to ten dollars per person for a bean dinner, depending on what you are serving.
And if you are fortunate, you may be able to talk the local florist or other business owners into supporting your ideas for fundraisers and giving you items to offer as door prizes.
