Fundraising Ideas For Mutual Funds

By Debra Edwards


You can make money from anything these days. Buckle down and start brainstorming, a way to collect money for mutual funds or charity. But in a fun, fresh and exciting way that will get people opening their wallets and purses. Your imagination is the only limit, be brave and take it with fun.

Reading is past time that is enjoyed by many, a lot of people have a book that they have read a countless amount of time and are willing to donate those. Think about having a book sale. Ask your friends and family to look around their homes for things they no longer use that could be sold. Asking different people will ensure a variety of genres and things that can be sold alongside the books

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.

All you need to put together a jumble sale is your front yard and a few items to sell. But if you are willing to put in some extra effort and get your hand dirty. Organise a car wash butt before considering this option think about possible water restriction in your area due to drought and other water issues. A car wash is ideal as no one is opposed to having a squeaky clean car for a small fee. Food is also a good way to get people excited, maybe have a tea garden or food stall on site so your community can get a refreshment while they wait for their cars, this is also a good way to raise extra money.

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.

Pets are peoples weakness. Why not use this for more fun. Host a pet show, in which you invite your community to register their pets for a fee, then give them an opportunity to show off their pet, you could also have a collection plate circulating during the show.

Charity tins may seem outdated but they are an effective way to raise money.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.
