Lets Raise Some Mutual Funds

By Debra Edwards


There is the expression, there are many ways to skin a cat. The same is true for fundraising for a worthy cause. The sky is the limit when it comes to collecting money for charity or Mutual Funds, whether this is through a book sale, or through holding a bingo evening. It is surely time to put the zing back into how money are raised for good causes.

Reading is past time that is enjoyed by many, a lot of people have a book that they have read a countless amount of time and are willing to donate those. Think about having a book sale. Ask your friends and family to look around their homes for things they no longer use that could be sold. Asking different people will ensure a variety of genres and things that can be sold alongside the books

Have a room or area designated for the collected items, perhaps go to your local supermarket and collect boxes that you can hand out to your friends and family for them to place the items in before they hand them over to you. Make sure people know about your event, invite friends, family, and your community to come by and support your market.

A book and jumble sale are relatively easy to create, as they use things you already have in your house but if you really want to go the extra mile, why not roll up your sleeves, get some friends, and with buckets and ample soap and water, hold a neighborhood car wash. This idea is always welcome as most people are welcome to the idea of an affordable car clean-up. Another opportunity is host a food stall or tea garden on site to raise extra money while neighbors wait for their cars to get cleaned.

If you really want to get active, an idea is to hold a fun run or aerobics marathon, through gaining participation from a gym or sports club. You should find people sponsor participants and create participant sponsorship forms. Or you can keep it simple and host a fun run, marking out a relatively easy route and inviting everyone to join for a morning outdoors.

Why not hold a dog walk and encourage participants to bring their dogs on leashes for the occasion? In such an instance, you can charge per dog per walk, and even have a competition for the best-dressed dog (something fun to raise money for your charity of choice).

People love pets, and these same dogs, together with other pets, can also be used for a pet show. Invite the community to register their pets for a small fee and then give each person the change to parade their animal for an audience on a specially-designated area. When all is said and done and you need to bring in extra money and fast, why not create an old-fashioned charity tin.

Charity tins may seem outdated but they are an effective way to raise money. Have a tin at your fundraising event for additional donations. Visit your local shops and ask if you can place a tin at the check out points. This will get a word out and cover more ground. Take and give tins to friends, family, school events, work and your religious gathering. All these ideas will lead to a successful charity fundraiser.
