This is a list of different fundraiser ideas for NYC. Please add your ideas to the list to help other youth groups raise funds for NYC.  If you have any good ideas, please email them to bcriggs@scnaz.com and I will put them on this list.

 

Group Fundraiser Ideas:

 

Purchase Stock - Create 4-6 Stock for each student attending.  Set a price between 20-50 dollars a stock.  If someone buys the stock, they get.  A postcard from the student (You can do these ahead of time), a tshirt and a ticket to a dinner afterwards telling about the trip.  With the cost of a postcard, t-shirt, and meal equaling around $10 a stock it not only keeps your donors connected but raises good money.

FROM SCO District.

• Buy-A-Box–

  • Create a grid of boxes and label them $1-$25. The students find people to buy the box and give the student the amount in each box. You can even add “Mega Boxes” at the bottom that have $50 or $100. 

• Garage Sale and Bake Sale

• Cookie-A-Thon—

  • The youth group gets together to bake cookies for community helpers (teachers, EMTs, Fire Fighters, Police Officers). The students find sponsors for each dozen they bake. 

• Boxed Dinners—

  • Sell tickets for a dinner box. (Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Spaghetti, Tacos) 

• Men vs Women Penny Wars—

  • Place jars in the foyer and have a competition to see who can collect the most money over an allotted amount of time. 

• Dessert Auction

  • Have student’s families bring desserts and then auction them off. Maybe do some comedy, special music, or a lip sync battle with it. 

• Church T-Shirts

  • Design and sell church t-shirts and sweatshirts 

• Envelope Board

  • Hang 100 envelopes in the foyer and number them $1-$100. Congregational members pick an envelope, put the amount of money on the envelope inside it, and then put it in the offering plate. You can make it nicer by adding pictures of your students to it. 

• Dinner Out

  • Restaurants like City BBQ or Texas Roadhouse will give a percentage of purchases one night. 

 

Individual Fundraiser Idea:

• Donation Letters

  • Students send letters to friends and family asking for donations.
