Here is an novel
fundraising idea for your
organization or project. It works particularly well if you
normally have several labor intensive, or product sales type
fundraisers during the year. Instead of having several
small fundraising projects, determine your total fundraising
needs and sell "Fund-raiser Insurance". For $25.00 (or
whatever per capita figure you need to raise), a person gets a
certificate and wallet sized card that states that they are
insured from all fundraising activities for 6 months, or
whatever period chosen. (If you are a
school or other children's group, determine the necessary amount
per family.) If the person so wishes, they can purchase a policy for
a year for $50.00 (or other appropriate multiple amount). Give
your members a break by allowing them to simply purchase insurance for
the required amount and save the hassle of dealing with multiple
fundraisers.

We have included a number of do-it-yourself fundraising ideas in this
section such as
Fundraiser Insurance 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
