Involve the whole school in writing a book of the
children's favorite recipes. This is a hilarious and profitable
fundraising idea. Ask each child in the school to tell you:
1) What they are going to cook; 2) What ingredients they will need;
3) How do they make their recipe; 4) How do they cook their recipe;
5) Draw a picture of what they want to cook. Write the children's responses down exactly as they
tell them to you. Compile the recipes into a book and sell them
to parents, friends, etc. Sources: The

Alternate: We are a small nursery
school in New Jersey and we did a children's fundraising cookbook with
the children's drawings and stories about their families as well as
the families recipes. We sold out in 72 hours. This had never happened
to us before. What made the cookbooks so successful was the fact that
they were full of wonderful drawings and quotes from the children. No
parent could resist them. We found a company on the internet that
specializes in fundraising cookbooks. We submitted the recipes and
scanned in the drawings ourselves. The book was done very quickly and
printed in about three weeks. This was a very easy fundraiser and very
successful. Submitted by Catherine K.
We have included a number of do-it-yourself fundraising ideas in this
section such as a Children's Cookbook that offer a break from
traditional product sales. They were developed by groups just
like yours in an attempt have a little fun with their fundraiser. Some
of them are tried and true while others show a lot of creativity ...
and even wackiness in some cases. All of them are obviously not
appropriate for every group, but sometimes, with only a little
modification, your might find some fund raising ideas that are perfect
for your group. If you have an idea for a do-it-yourself fund raiser
you are willing to share with others, please send it to us via email

Include anything
and everything you would want to know if you were hearing the idea for
the first time.
