Fundraising Ideas
To raise funds for your club or group you do not need to be registered with anyone, nor do you need a licence.
The following are various simple fundraising ideas you can undertake yourself, without necessarily enlisting the services of a professional fundraiser. These fundraising activities are usually used by schools, social groups, sports clubs, etc. when raising small amounts of money for equipment, group trips or activities, etc.
Casino Nights, Bingo Nights, Sweets & Confectionery, Fudges & Candy, Raffles & Lotteries, Pizzas & Savouries, Entertainment Events, Sporting Events, Greeting Cards, Calendars, Cakes & Lamingtons, Cosmetics, Pies, Scratch Cards, Flowers & Bulbs, Organic Products, Gourmet Food, Family Portraits, Compost, Socials & Dinners, Gift Baskets, etc.
Fundraising through merchandising (supplying of items for resale) is not necessarily considered a form of professional fundraising and therefore not many such suppliers find it necessary to be members of the Fundraising Institute of New Zealand.
There are many different opportunities to fundraise through merchandising. Refer to the Industry Links section of this website for contact details of some businesses that could help.
Whatever you decide to do please do it considerately and well. The success of your fundraising endeavours and the satisfaction of your donors and clients reflect on us all.
Good luck and good fundraising!
