Fundraising Tips of the Day! (Part 2 of 5)

More great tips for fundraising success!
  • Last one in: See if you or your boss can charge those who come to work late a small fee. Keep this up for a month and you will have raised a great deal of money! Also provide a prize for those people who arrive on time everyday for that month such as a free lunch or leaving work early.
  • Raffles: Contact local shops about donating raffle prizes, and sell raffle tickets. Make sure you let the local shops know that their donation is tax deductible! Or talk to your company personnel about raffling off an extra day off or a long lunch break.  Check with someone from CHICAGO Dance Marathon (email chicagodancemarathon@gmail.com) before you move forward with organizations.  
  • Jellybean count: Fill a large jar with jellybeans and have people donate to guess how many there are in the jar. You can put this out at lunchtime, at a meeting, or even at the front desk so people notice when entering the building.
