Lets Raise Some Mutual Funds

By Debra Edwards


There is the expression, there are many ways to skin a cat. The same is true for fundraising for a worthy cause. The sky is the limit when it comes to collecting money for charity or Mutual Funds, whether this is through a book sale, or through holding a bingo evening. It is surely time to put the zing back into how money are raised for good causes.

A book sale is a great method to raise funds. Books are no shortage and are easy to get enough together for a successful fundraiser. To ensure that you get a variety of books from all genres. Go to a local school, ask the principal to send a note to the childrens parents to donate any old books or other items they may have at home that can be sold. Urge your friends and family to do the same.

Have a designated area for boxes and baskets of unwanted items to be placed. All donations can be brought together and be ready to be sold. Market your sale, invite your friends and the greater community to visit your sale and partake in something for the good of others.

A book and jumble sale are relatively easy to create, as they use things you already have in your house but if you really want to go the extra mile, why not roll up your sleeves, get some friends, and with buckets and ample soap and water, hold a neighborhood car wash. This idea is always welcome as most people are welcome to the idea of an affordable car clean-up. Another opportunity is host a food stall or tea garden on site to raise extra money while neighbors wait for their cars to get cleaned.

If you really want to get active, an idea is to hold a fun run or aerobics marathon, through gaining participation from a gym or sports club. You should find people sponsor participants and create participant sponsorship forms. Or you can keep it simple and host a fun run, marking out a relatively easy route and inviting everyone to join for a morning outdoors.

Why not hold a dog walk and encourage participants to bring their dogs on leashes for the occasion? In such an instance, you can charge per dog per walk, and even have a competition for the best-dressed dog (something fun to raise money for your charity of choice).

People love pets, and these same dogs, together with other pets, can also be used for a pet show. Invite the community to register their pets for a small fee and then give each person the change to parade their animal for an audience on a specially-designated area. When all is said and done and you need to bring in extra money and fast, why not create an old-fashioned charity tin.

Charity collection tins are a great way to get raise funds, go to all your local shops and stores to place your tins at every check-out counter, ask your friends to take one to work, ask the local school if you can circulate the tin around the classrooms. Raising funds should be an experience full of fun and memorable moments but with effective results.
