Popular DIY School Fundraisers and School Event Fundraising Ideas

Daycare and Preschool Fundraising Ideas:

Daycare and preschool fundraising ideas

1) Ice Cream Taste Test and Decoration:

Have your pre-schoolers pay about $5 each to participate in an ice cream taste test. They will get to choose 5 flavors to try. The child who guesses the most correct flavors can receive an extra prize, as well. In addition, let them choose their favorite flavor and decorate it to their heart’s content, with gummies, sprinkles and other candy. Try and get your ice cream and other supplies sponsored by a local store.

2) Custom Calendars:

Kids love to draw, and this is a great way to encourage them to get creative. Have your students work on drawings of their favorite things, or other custom themes. You can then scan the drawings and compile them into a calendar featuring a new drawing each month.

Parents and other family members will love the opportunity to hang their child’s drawing on their wall along with everyone else’s creations.

3) Toy Sale:

Kids lose interest in their toys quickly, so why not consider selling old and unused toys as a fundraiser? Parents can donate old toys that their child doesn’t use anymore, and you can hold a sale at the pre-school.

Pick a day to have your sale and invite parents so they can pick up a new/used toy for their child. This is a quick and easy fundraiser that can be done in a day. Better yet, it promotes reusing old goods that could otherwise go to waste.

4) Bake Sale:

Who doesn’t love baked goods? A bake sale is a simple and delicious way to raise funds in a short amount of time. Have parents donate any type of sweet treat to include in your sale.

To make selling easier you can post pictures on social media and even take orders online. Having good quality images will entice your supporters and make selling even easier! Time your bake sale for when they are picking up their children or co-ordinate it with another daycare event.

5) Family Craft Night:

Invite families to attend a special craft night at your daycare. Tap into some of the parents’ talents and ask them to lead a few separate craft workshops such as building a kite, birdhouse, paper airplane designs, paintings, making tie-dye shirts, etc.

Simply charge an entry fee and have the craft leader and materials ready for participants. This is a great activity for families to have some fun and spend time together.

1) Winter Carnival:

Just because the weather is getting colder, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t play outside! A winter carnival is a great way to raise some money towards Christmas break. Sell tickets for entry and serve hot chocolate along with other yummy baked goods for extra profit.

There are tons of awesome activities that you can incorporate into the event such as a snowman building competition, snow bowling, sledding etc. Everyone is guaranteed to have a great time!

2) Pyjama Day:

Better than a casual Friday, give your students the opportunity to wear their pyjama’s to school for the day. Ask for a simple donation from any student that would like to wear their pyjamas for the day. This is a simple school fundraising idea that is sure to get students excited (maybe even some teachers)!

3) School Picnic/BBQ Fundraiser:

Pick a nice sunny day and throw a school picnic. The cost is extremely low and potential profit extremely high!

You can sell all the favorites like hot dogs, burgers and baked goods for dessert. You can also add some excitement by including activities like a raffle, or soccer tournament. Simply charge an entry fee to enter and put together a cash or food prize for the winner. Try and get your local grocery store to sponsor all or part of the food costs.

4) Walk-a-thon:

Encourage your students to get out in the community and get some exercise at the same time. Students can ask supporters to sponsor them based on the distance of the walk.

Walk-a-thons are easy to customize to your school’s needs. They’re also a fun and appealing way to encourage exercise. Not to mention students love an idea that lets them get out of school on a nice sunny day.

5) Movie Day:

Students are always eager to get out of class and having a movie showing is a great way to give them some time to relax and be with their friends while enjoying a good flick. Have your students vote on the movie they’d like to watch to make it more interactive.

The cost is extremely low, and you only need to ask for a few dollars per student to watch the movie. Don’t forget to sell popcorn and drinks to boost your profit even more.

1) Talent show:

Let your students show off their talents by throwing a talent show. Host an evening at the school and charge an entry fee of 5-10$.

Students always have all sorts of eclectic talents and this is the perfect opportunity for them to show what they can do. Teachers can even get involved and have a little fun by doing things such as doing a musical number.

2) Dress Down Day:

If your school has a uniform dress code, then a dress down day is a sure fire way to raise some quick and easy funds. Ask for a small donation of only a few dollars and students can ditch the uniform and wear their own clothes for the day.

Students always appreciate the opportunity to let their hair down and enjoy a nice casual Friday at school.You could raise over $1,000 profit in just one day, with zero costs.

3) Halloween Party:

Throw a school dance at halloween and deck the school hallways with spooky decorations. Turn it up a notch by sectioning off part of the school and turning it into a haunted house.

Students can dress up in their costumes and you can even have a contest for best costume. Charge a fee to enter the dance and a small extra fee for the haunted house.

4) Book Sale Fundraiser:

Have students bring in some of their slightly used books and organize a day to have a book sale. This is a great way to encourage reading while helping your school raise money.

Schools often have a surplus of books in their library, so consider dusting off some of the old books that aren’t being used to include in your sale. This is a quick and easy fundraiser that requires very little set-up and can be done in one day.

5) Community Service:

Your high school can raise some money while encouraging your students to help out in the community. Students can offer their services in a variety of fields - you’d be surprised to see the different skills that many of your students have acquired. Some community services may include Washing windows, painting, helping repair a deck, washing cars, spring cleaning, grocery shopping, managing a bbq, babysitting and even running a sports clinic.

Host a school fundraiser event and have your community place bids for the students services. This is a great way to teach students the importance of giving back to their community.
