By Tammie Caldwell


Schools need to raise money to help students pay for a variety of activities, and the little extras that make the educational system that much more interesting and exciting. With financial cuts interfering, schools need to get very creative in order to earn this money. Below, find some surefire high school fundraising ideas that actually work and will involve both students and staff alike.

Some of the most popular fundraising efforts involve discount cards. The number one reason why they work so well is because the donor actually get something back for his donation. It can be a great discount on a good meal or a movie. The bottom line is that they're very valuable. However, it always depends on the company whether these discount cards are free or not, so shop around.

Some have even gotten successful campaigns running on mobile phone carrier discount cards. Whatever the case, there are always big retailers that are providing help to their communities. Another good way to raise money is through raffle tickets. This is another opportunity for local merchants to gain new customers, which is vital to their existence. Many restaurants, hair salons, nail salons, and the like are usually on board.

Other successful campaigns could include sporting event tickets up for grabs on the raffle tickets. More and more, it's becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for average consumers to get their hands on such tickets, so it could be a successful campaign. The important thing is to choose the right campaign and put in the right amount of effort.

Be careful not to overdo the same campaign, as it will eventually grow tiresome and not achieve successful results. Therefore, it's recommended to make some important changes. For example, introduce crafts that would bring out the talent in numerous students that could actually paint. There could be an online auction to make it more interesting.

There are many people who would be proud to hang an original painting on their walls. Other talent can come through costume jewelry making. There are so many beautiful designs out there that many people would love to wear. Those making them only require good quality beads and a few other materials to make attractive and trendy necklaces, earrings, anklets and the like. Moreover, there are the all-important snack stalls that could be a campaign with great success.

It's easy enough to prepare tasty snacks that can be sold in a high traffic location that will generate a good amount of sales. This way, students stay in one location, and customers come to them. The important thing is to make them look enticing.

A car wash is still a popular option as a campaign. However, a successful campaign requires the weather be cooperative. Today's technology allows for people to judge accordingly just what type of weather they're going to experience over the next week or two. For a successful campaign, keep it going for several days, choosing a high-volume location.
