Fundraising Ideas
Fundraisers can be organized by a parent volunteer, the PTO, or a student group. Lots of times groups such as student council, beta club or a community service group look for opportunities such as this. Fundraisers do not have to be complicated! River of Hope will support you as you fund raise in any way possible.
Ideas for fundraisers include:
penny drives - These are easy to do. Simply place a collection container in each classroom. You would be surprised how much pennies add up!
walk- a -thons - Kids get sponsors who pay by how much they walk!
African dinners - Prepare African food and sell tickets for people to sample. Look for recipes online, or ask us for help! This can be combined with a raffle or auction.
raffles/auctions - Get parents or businesses to donate items to be raffled or auctioned. These can be goods or services!
garage sales - students and parents donate items for a garage sale with all profits benefiting your school in Ethiopia. Don't take the time to mark most items. Advertise that most items are only $1.00 and it cuts your prep time!
A school may also wish to raise the price of their tickets to a certain event (like Homecoming or Prom) and donate that one dollar to River of Hope.
