50 Fundraising Ideas

There's nothing better than coming together with an awesome group of people (even if that awesome person is just you going it alone!) to raise some money for a good cause or an organisation.

The only problem is, when it comes to ideas, it can be damn tricky to come up with something, or sometimes several ideas that people will enjoy and want to take part in.

Fundraisers are always a fun time. I hope you absolutely dive right into these ideas and give as many a try as possible!

I also highly encourage you to share this article with groups you may be apart of that like to host fundraisers. Everyone should have easy access to a list of ideas, even if they choose to write these down in a notebook or on a document on their computer!

For the times where you want to host a fundraiser, but we are limited to how many people can be in a room and the distance we need to keep between us, don't hold back on moving them online and utilising the beauty that is technology!

1. Cake Sale

2. Clothing Sale
