Product Sales: many organizations sell products ranging from candles to cookie dough to candy bars. Online websites can help you see some of the different products your group could sell.

Themed Dinners: many groups have spaghetti dinners, soup suppers, or other special food offerings. This not only brings the community and organization together, but you can raise money as well. Some charge per person, per item, or ask for donations.
Walk-A-Thons: you can either have an entrance fee or have others sponsor a particular walker or runner. Many organizations are sponsoring 5k runs or other similar races to raise money and publicity. Ask local business to donate prizes.
Auctions: whether you want to do a silent auction or hire an auctioneer, auctions are a great way to raise money. Get local businesses and organization members to donate items and services.

Advertise your event and you're likely to get a wide range of community members attending as well.
Fundraising Events: events are a fun way to raise money. You might have a car wash, a rock-a-thon, or neighborhood fair. Depending on the event, you could have games for adults and kids and charge one entrance fee or a per game charge.

LinkedIn Recommendation:
Carl Madden - Search Engine Marketing Consultant at Osato Tree - There are many times I have been stuck on something, but now I that I am working with Teo Graca, I know I can get unstuck quickly. He has a way of getting at the meat of the solution to any problem when it comes to business planning. I really don't know anyone with such a well rounded skill set. I think that is what makes it possible for him to do what he does. I highly recommend Teo and Net-Teams! - March 15, 2012, Carl was Teo's client |
