Need to raise money easily and quickly? Here are 5 fundraisers almost guaranteed to earn money fast with as little effort as possible.
All of these fundraisers are popular, proven successes.

• Cookie Dough Fundraiser- Who doesn’t like cookies. That’s the secret to this popular and successful fundraiser. The kids selling cookies are enthusiastic which leads to more sales. Buyers can’t resist cookies. And profit margins are around 50%. It’s easy for a team or class to earn over $1,000 profit with little effort.  

This has become one of the most popular fundraisers, which means competition from suppliers is fierce. Be sure to shop around for the best margin. Also, look for free shipping, no up-front costs, prize programs and marketing support (brochures, parent letters, etc.).

• Discount Cards Fundraiser- This is a proven winner with high profit margins—up to 90%. Sell cards with specified discounts for goods and services in your area.

 

The most successful cards are general shopping cards. These provide discounts like “buy one, get one free Burger King Hamburger”; “$10 off of Jiffy Lube oil change”; “$5 off haircut at Great Clips”; and a host of other discounts.   

Pizza discount cards sell well too. These are typically “buy one, get one free” discounts or a percentage discount off a particular size.

Cards usually sell for $10 or $20. This means using them 2 or 3 times saves the buyer the cost of the card—a no-brainer sale.

• Scratch Cards Fundraiser- This is an easy, fun and profitable (up to 90%) fundraiser. Purchase cards for $5, $10 or $20 each from scratch card companies. They’ll supply you with coupon sheets to give the donors. Each card raises $100.

 

Ask supporters to scratch off a spot or two. They donate whatever the amount is—usually between 50 cents and $5. But they can also donate more.

The sheets contain coupons from national chains with values often up to $100. This makes the scratch card a win-win for supporter and team or school.

• Candy Bar Fundraiser- An oldie but goody, selling candy bars continues to be a popular and successful fundraiser. Why? Most people like candy making selling easy. The price is low, usually $2. And the profit margin is high, usually 60%.

 

Each candy carrier contains 36 candy bars with three different flavors. Some popular brands are Hersey’s, Chocolatiers, and World’s Finest.

Because candy bar fundraising is so well liked, suppliers are competitive. Shop around for the best profit margin. Look for bars that come with coupons on the wrappers. This could sweeten your sale to supporters.

• Online Magazine Fundraiser- No door-to-door selling. No inventory. No paperwork. No headaches. Sound good? Selling magazine subscriptions online is that easy.

 

Through a supplier, your group sets up a fundraiser webpage to sell magazines. Then each person in your group invites friends, family and co-workers to the site using email, Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Your supporters will have over 600 magazines to choose from. Profits are up to 40%. 

If your supporters renew the following year, your group will continue to receive the proceeds.
