Send a letter to local businesses

Ask all of the club for a one off sum of money
At our Radio Club we wanted to raise over a thousand pounds for some new equipment. We tried a jumble sale and a raffle, but after a lot of effort we had only raised a few hundred pounds. In the end we asked every member of the club if they could afford it to contribute £40, or if they couldn’t to contribute what they could. We raised what we wanted within the week and saved everyone a lot of time and effort.

Make it what people can afford, but provide some guidelines. You are asking them for their time, but providing money could do the same (Thanks to Jonty)

Auction of promises
Our local primary school raised a staggering £9,000 ($18,000) from an auction of promises. Before the auction there was a large meal with a barrel of beer and wine on sale. This helped to get things into the auction mood. A lot of parents and local businesses were asked to donate some of their products or services. The businesses all got featured in the auction catalogue. Things sold really well with most things going for three or four times their real value. A swiss loaf even sold for £25 ($50). It was a fun night out and raised a lot of money. (Thanks to Jonty)

Company Charity Scheme
Find out if your company has a charirty or a match giving scheme and ask them to contribute (Thanks to AmyP)

The kids got sponsor sheets and they brought in the funds…they were then given a certificate to say what they had done…
