Unique Fundraising Ideas for Churches and Schools

Crystal Sciarini
Nick N Willy's
Nick N Willy's is a take and bake pizza parlor. Nick N Willys has what they call a V.I.P. card. This unique card is purchased by the church or school for $1.00 and sold to the consumer for $10. The V.I.P. fundraiser nets the church or school nine dollars profit on each card!

What does this donor get? Their V.I.P. card gets them a free same size one-topping pizza with every pizza purchase. This fundraiser idea netted our small Sunday School group $1200 dollars in just two weeks!

Spinner's
A unique and fun way to fundraise are spinners. The spinner is the size of a DVD case and includes a spinner and a pad of fifty coupons. How does the spinner work? The spinner has ten spots that range from $1 to $4. The donor is asked to spin the spinner twice and add the totals together. The added amount of the two spins is how much they donate. So the donation will be anywhere from $2 to $8.

As a thank you the donor receives a sheet of coupons good for local and national businesses. The average amount earned per spinner is $210. Best of all the spinners can be refilled for just a few dollars and used over and over again.

Dog and Cat Treats
The candy and popcorn fundraisers are overdone and no one can beat the Girl Scouts in cookies. A unique alternative is fundraising with dog and cat treats! The treats cost the school or church $2.75 for dog treats and $2.25 for cat treats. Your organization sets the price! The pet industry is a booming $30 billion dollar industry.

Idea: Dress the little ones in those cute little dog ear headbands from the dollar store and your sure to sell out!

Custom Label Bottled Water
Everyone drinks water and every town has events during summer. Now your church or school fundraiser can profit from water. With the bottled water fundraiser your church or school can make money in two ways.

First, find a sponser for your bottled water. The sponsor or sponsors pay $100 each to be listed on the label of each bottled water. Once you have your sponsor, order your bottles of water, and then sit outside an event and watch the water fly. Each pallet of water nets your church or school up to 104% profit.

    These are great ideas! I think bringing your pet along when selling the pet treats would be a great way to sell the treats, especially if you could show how crazy your pet was over the treats :)
