money
Magdalene asked:


In our school we have a student created Art and Literature magazine that is professionally published but in order to get enough published with the quality we are going for we need money. We have tried little fundraisers and are planning on doing some sponsorships but nothing has brought in much money at all. If anyone has any ideas of sponsorships, fundraisers, etc. that will bring in a good amount of money please give me any and all suggestions.

Im not sure if this helps but we are a school in South Central Pennsylvania. Thank you so much.

    Pasta, at our school we had to raise 12,000 dollars for our prom, and we sold LOTS of pasta for lunches, at games, all sorts of things. Food is always good to sell. Try taking donations in front of a local grocery store or selling donated baked goods – cheap and pure profit

    go to business’s near you and ask for donations, explain the situation and im sure they would love to help out a school.

    also, take letters from your principal to prove it and make sure it has the school seal on it.

    Get all the students involved in the program and set up a bottle drive. You can do it door to door or else go to all the locations around where you can expect to find empty bottles and cans. Often groups like the scouts will have a bottle drive and put a short note in a house letter box asking the owner to put their cans and bottles out for a Sat morning pick up. Don’t put the notice out too many days ahead or people will forget to put the bottles out. Hope you do well!

    id say sell food. EVERYONE likes food! during all lunch hours have a bake sale! but first, announce it loud on the intercom BEFORE you ave it, otherwise ppl wont bring money. because idk bout you, but our cafe gives us like 1 or 2 deserts when we eat and most everyone has a sweet tooth. sell cookies, brownies, etc. if baking stuff at home is too much of a hassle, ask the chefs/cooks if you could use stuff in their kitchen between classes. like whenever you finish your work or have free period, go down there. course you’ll ave ta buy some products: lotsa sugar, coco, creme, frosting, etc. ask around if ppl have recipes for stuff that doesnt take alot of ingredients or $. and you’ll ave to make a profit so lets say it took 30 cents to make one brownie. sell the brownie for… 50 cents and you”ll earn 20cnts each brownie (50-30=20).and sell food like pizza,popcorn,candy bars,cake/pie,etc. at sporting events and other school gatherings: parent/teacher conferences, dances, and so on. but be sure to give water free. most ppl prefer soda so you could buy cans of soda and sell em each for 1.00. thatd be a BIG profit. especially at dances. if you dont giv free watr, ppl think ur all: GIVE ME MONEY OR YOU DIE!!! plus theyll be more likely to come back for more water, than go to the fountain, and see delicious brownies and cookies and….root beer (i LOVE root beer!!!) and buy that. speaking of my fav pop. do a survey at school: whats your fav soda pop? coke pepsi ROOT BEER! mountain dew… (be sure to limit the choices 2-3) and do that with the food too: do you like brownies more than cookies? cake over pie?

    HOPE I HELPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
