Fundraising Ideas For Mutual Funds

By Debra Edwards


There is the expression, there are many ways to skin a cat. The same is true for fundraising for a worthy cause. The sky is the limit when it comes to collecting money for charity or Mutual Funds, whether this is through a book sale, or through holding a bingo evening. It is surely time to put the zing back into how money are raised for good causes.

Everyone has old books they no longer read or want to hold onto and these can be pooled together, to create a book sale of books covering a range of genre, from adventure to cookery books, and from new releases to valuable, antiquated books of yesteryear. Why not do a spring clean and invite friends and family to do the same.

Have a designated area for boxes and baskets of unwanted items to be placed. All donations can be brought together and be ready to be sold. Market your sale, invite your friends and the greater community to visit your sale and partake in something for the good of others.

A book and jumble sale are relatively easy to create, as they use things you already have in your house but if you really want to go the extra mile, why not roll up your sleeves, get some friends, and with buckets and ample soap and water, hold a neighborhood car wash. This idea is always welcome as most people are welcome to the idea of an affordable car clean-up. Another opportunity is host a food stall or tea garden on site to raise extra money while neighbors wait for their cars to get cleaned.

People are always keen to engage in physical activity for a good cause. Organise a fun run, rope in a gym or sports club for some participation. Have a sponsor system in which people sponsor participants. Or simply host a run, make it inviting so everyone can join.

Dog walking is a good way for people to have fun, encourage participants to bring their dogs along for a fee. Maybe throw some fun into the mix by having a theme and a best-dressed dog competition, or if you love it an agility dog challenge.

People love pets, and these same dogs, together with other pets, can also be used for a pet show. Invite the community to register their pets for a small fee and then give each person the change to parade their animal for an audience on a specially-designated area. When all is said and done and you need to bring in extra money and fast, why not create an old-fashioned charity tin.

Charity tins may seem outdated but they are an effective way to raise money. Have a tin at your fundraising event for additional donations. Visit your local shops and ask if you can place a tin at the check out points. This will get a word out and cover more ground. Take and give tins to friends, family, school events, work and your religious gathering. All these ideas will lead to a successful charity fundraiser.
