Question: World Aids Day, fundraising idea help?

I need some more ideas for fundraising for World Aids Day.

So far I have:

•Teachers guess the baby photo competition
•Red non-uniform day at school and make a donation for the privilege of wearing red
•Sponsored bike ride dressed completely in red
•A red-themed dinner and ask everyone to make a donation

And obviously selling the red ribbons, the red-themed dinners will be school dinners.

Any more ideas, I’d like something really original this year if possible.

Answer: What about a Coffee fundraiser?
Specialty coffee and beverages are an exploding market nationwide and it practically sells itself. Java Joe’s Roasting Company is an upstate New York based coffee roaster, who specializes in fundraising. Organizations will realize a profit of $2.50 or more per bag sold. The products will be customized to promote your organization (free of charge) and there are no set up fees or minimums. This fundraising program is equitable and offers your supporters a first class practical product that is perfect for every day use. Good luck! I hope I was able to help.

p.s. My son’s preschool made $2,496 during a 2 week campaign.

Question: I am a fundraising professional. My outputs are measured based on how much funds. Can some one help?

I have a target of USD 200,000 this year ending december. Our work is in community development.

Answer: Apply for grants from charitable foundations. There are tons of them and they have lots of money to give away as long as you are willing to jump through all their paperwork hoops.

Here’s just one example. Type in “charitable foundations” in a search engine and you’ll hit a lot of them.
