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.

All you need to put together a jumble sale is your front yard and a few items to sell. But if you are willing to put in some extra effort and get your hand dirty. Organise a car wash butt before considering this option think about possible water restriction in your area due to drought and other water issues. A car wash is ideal as no one is opposed to having a squeaky clean car for a small fee. Food is also a good way to get people excited, maybe have a tea garden or food stall on site so your community can get a refreshment while they wait for their cars, this is also a good way to raise extra money.

People are always keen to engage in physical activity for a good cause. Organise a fun run, rope in a gym or sports club for some participation. Have a sponsor system in which people sponsor participants. Or simply host a run, make it inviting so everyone can join.

Dog walking is a good way for people to have fun, encourage participants to bring their dogs along for a fee. Maybe throw some fun into the mix by having a theme and a best-dressed dog competition, or if you love it an agility dog challenge.

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.
