Fundraising for Small Groups

Travel expenses, tournament entry fees, uniforms, equipment, instrument repairs, ingredients, or entertainments costs…are just a few reasons that groups and teams start fundraisers.  Unfortunately these expenses cost as much whether your group is 8 or 88 members strong.  Small groups may feel like they are at a disadvantage when it comes to raising money, but there are quite a few fundraisers that can help groups with fewer members raise lots of money.

One of the best fundraisers for small groups is the Scratch Card Fundraiser.  Each person earns $100 or more for each card they complete.  You can also purchase Pizza or Sandwich Shop cards, or Custom Discount cards.  Most card fundraisers work in a way where you can earn a very high profit.  With only a few members it is important to look for fundraisers that will give you the most for your money.

Another important fundraising tip for small groups – look at all requirements for a fundraiser before you get started.  If you plan to do a fundraiser, check for minimums or shipping fees.  If there is a minimum, decide how many each member of the group would need to sell to meet the goal.  If you think it is attainable then go for it!  If there is a possible shipping cost, make sure that the fee will not exceed the amount you are trying to raise.

Overall – if you are in a small group and trying to raise lots of money the key to a successful fundraiser is to NEVER GIVE UP!  Encourage each other, check in with other members to see how the fundraiser is going, and celebrate the amount you raise – no matter what!
