Fundraising 101

Tips Plan two weeks to a month ahead for each event. Make committees such as poster. Center around holidays such as Valentines Day, Cesar

Chavez Day, and Christmas, ect. Have reasonable prices, also written out on posters. Decide on needed materials. Experiment with different events and keep most

successful ones. Document the successful fundraisers for future

student use. Take preorders depending on the fundraiser. Have some people at the table selling and some

people. walking around advertising the sale. Go to certain place where students or staff can’t

make time to go to your table. Ex. Counselors, Financial Aid, ect.
