Is your school or non profit organization looking for
fundraising event ideas? There are a variety of fun events that are easy to
organize and will attract support for your group.
Here are 5 fundraising event ideas for you to consider:
1. Murder Mystery Party - A murder mystery party is a fun
small gathering held in someone’s home or can be held at a banquet room of a
hotel or restaurant. The Murder Mystery
game takes about three hours to play, including dinner. Guests assume the roles
of characters in the plot, and at the end the killer - or killers - is revealed
2. Pie and cake auction - The cooks and the sweet lovers in
your group will enjoy this fun fundraiser idea! Ask for donations of cakes and
pies. Label each dessert with the name of the dessert and the cook. Ask your
most humorous and charismatic person to be the auctioneer who can entertain the
crowd and boost the auction prices.
3. Trivia Night - Trivia nights are informal,
fun, competitions where teams battle to see who has the greatest knowledge of
matters trivial. General knowledge and trivial interest questions are asked by
a trivia host and the winners are the team which, at the end of the night, have
correctly answered the most number of questions. Funds are raised through game entry tickets,
food sales, sponsorships and additional fundraisers like raffles.
4. Ice Cream Social - Just about everyone likes ice
cream! Host an ice cream social event
for your organization. You can charge a
flat fee, price per ice cream scoop or just set out a jar and ask for
donations.
5. Pizza Party - This is a twist on the usual fundraiser
dinner. Decide if you would like to make this a pizza buffet, set a limit on
the number of slices per person, or actually sell the pizza “by the slice." You
could also do a combination of set menu and “by the slice" for your pizza fundraiser.
With a little creativity your organization will come up with
a great fundraising event idea that will be fun and raise money for your cause!
