My fundraising has been good so far, but i still need 800 bucks and i'm almost out of my first options. Two big donors that i thought would donate didn't, so i'm left with fundraisers but i'm drawing a blank!

We don't have bottle drives in fla cause we don't recycle.

I think i'd have better luck if i could give someone something for their money, but getting something cheap and raising the price is difficult.

I need ideas!

For what cause again please.

50-50's work great for me.
Also I by candy in bulk at a discount store and sell it. That always works well.

our prom committee is having a "cow patty bingo" they paint a grid on a field, number each square and sell those numbers for $10. bring the cow on the field and wait for it to drop a deuce on your number!

here's an article about last year's fundraiser http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/dailycourier/s_63254.html

How about a raffle? Get a business maybe to donate something then sell chances for it. I'm always a sucker for those as the tickets are usually $5 or less.

Maybe hired killer? Surely someone in FL needs to be shot in the head 'til they're dead.

Yard sale! Somehow my wife pulls in a couple hundred out of a shed full of stuff long destined for the dump.

Couldn't you come up with a pretty good looking cashier's check for $1,000 in Photoshop and then print it out on a color printer?

Tie the donations to some award for specific levels:

$20 Bronze - A personal phone call of thanks.
$50 Silver - A phone call to a friend of your chosing to discuss salad dressing.
$100 Gold - A personally recorded voice mail greeting by Jed. "Shoot them in the head until they're dead" optional.

Give generously, folks! PayPal is not really money! Wink

Is it?
