An interactive fundraising contest!
We did a fundraiser where we asked the children to fill an item with money. It had to be to the very top. We used sm. barrels. For every child that brought a full barrel, they got to break an egg over the Children’s Pastor’s head. Wow, we had an awesome response. They all enjoyed breaking that egg too.

This very simple fundraiser has proven an easy money-maker, especially in teh city. Stock up on cartons or flats of eggs and simply go door to door in small groups. Briefly explain what you are raising money for and ask if they would like to support you by buying an egg. There is no set price, but many people will give one or two dollars for one egg. Believe it or not, some groups have raised hundreds of dollars in an afternoon because everyone can use an egg!

Door-to-door carwashes: just go around your block with all the gear you need, ask the people if you can wash their car in their driveway! I’ve never been turned down! Rent-a-kid: “Rent-out” the kids in your children’s ministry to do household chores for those in your congregation. Kid Talent Show: have kids in your church put on a talent show and charge admission. Have costume characters of your church available for pictures for a small fee. Have a “parent’s night out” and charge a $10 fee for parents dropping off kids for the entire night at a lock-in.

This is an outreach tool that I thought of, because all kids (and adults) love puppets. » I want to read more! »

We have a Spaghetti Luncheon & Pie Auction each year in the church to raise money for VBS. We do it right after church so everyone is good and hungry. The luncheon is free however there is a freewill offering taken and of course our PIE AUCTION. We get $150.00 a pie, no problem. It is so much fun, everyone gets involved. Just to give you an idea how well this fundraiser can be I will share a few numbers with you. Last year 130 adults and children were present at the luncheon and we raised over $2000.00 plus we put up pictures of the puppets we wanted to buy for VBS and someone bought them for us.

One last summer event before kids go back to school! This event is mostly a water based event so have the kids wear their swimming suits. We rented a dunking booth, space jump, carnival train, and also had water slides, and other carnival type games that we made up. We also let the kids squirt each other with water balloons and water guns. This can be either a free carnival event or a fundraiser in disguise. » I want to read more! »

As a promo for our church fall festival in 2002, we sponsored a Rat Race. We bought 10 inexpensive white mice from the pet store and showed them off to the congregation the Sunday before as advertisement for our event. We built a four-lane plywood racetrack with a lever at the entrance for the mice to race. We had thousands of people show up to the event, and many came to see the mice race. It was a really fun promotion. But you must make sure you have workers who don’t mind handling rodents!

You get a place of business to let you do this fundraiser out in front of their store. You take plastic and spread it out then have one person stand on it and have people to buy an egg they can keep the egg or pay more money to crack it all over that persons head. This will be a fun but messy fundraiser.
