Go door to door asking for pennies for what
ever your group is trying to raise money for. If they try to
give you any coins other than a penny, refuse but say that you
will gladly take paper money. Most people are confused at the
fact that you will only take pennies, but then smile and usually
give you some form of paper money. It is best to carry a bucket
for the coins, but be aware someone might just give you a big
bucket of pennies, so have a place to put them for the time
being (like in a car or somewhere where they will not all be
seen). When you get enough pennies (about 5-6 ice cream buckets
full), take them to the bank. Most banks will let you change
coins to bill for free, as long as you have an account there.
You will most likely make the most money on the paper money, but
the pennies may make up a good number.
We have included a number of do-it-yourself
fundraising ideas in this section such as a Door To Door For Pennies Drive 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 at .
Include anything
and everything you would want to know if you were hearing the idea for
the first time.
