Fundraising Ideas For Mutual Funds

By Debra Edwards


Making money for a greater good can be frustrating but to keep your spirits up it is important to remember that there are so many ideas you can generate in order to reach your mutual funds raising goal and ensure smiles all around, and be remembered for have done something positive for the community. This way you are killing two birds with one stone.

Everyone has old books they no longer read or want to hold onto and these can be pooled together, to create a book sale of books covering a range of genre, from adventure to cookery books, and from new releases to valuable, antiquated books of yesteryear. Why not do a spring clean and invite friends and family to do the same.

An idea is to put the things you no longer want or need in a washing basket or box. Boxes from everyones respective spring clean can then be brought together and a jumble sale created. Invite neighbors and the community to visit your market, all for a good cause.

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.

If you really want to get active, an idea is to hold a fun run or aerobics marathon, through gaining participation from a gym or sports club. You should find people sponsor participants and create participant sponsorship forms. Or you can keep it simple and host a fun run, marking out a relatively easy route and inviting everyone to join for a morning outdoors.

Fun runs are lovely but maybe some participants would like the companionship of their pet dogs, have the option for people to bring their dog for a particular fee. Perhaps even host a dog walk in which participants can pay a fee to enter a best-dressed dog competition.

Animal lovers and pet lovers may be keen to have their furry friends partake in a show. A pet show is a great fundraiser. Have your community members enter their pets for a fee and each participant can showcase their pet and maybe a talent.

You can ask stores to support your charity drive and place the tin near to their check-out counter or even get friends and family to take along a tin to either school or work. Raising money for charity purpose should be a fun experience and one which brings everyone together to create memories which will last long after the cheque has been handed over to your chosen charity.
