Community Fundraising Ideas

Work together as a team to raise money for a common community cause! Whatever your fundraising goal or your interests, it's possible to create a tailored project that will bring people together, build community and build funds. There are many tried and trusted ideas for community fundraisers. The pot luck dinner with a small cost per plate, a cake walk, a bake sale, a fashion show and various marathons.
Once your community team has selected a fundraiser the next step is planning. Discuss the realistic aspects of organizing the event, do you have enough people to make things run smoothly, what is the event cost and what is the fundraising goal, set a date, what are the necessary resources, how will you publicize it, what are the risks, and finally find out if there are any local celebrities you can get involved to attract attention.
