Band is a popular extracurricular activity, but with the rising costs of participating, a lot of bands are really feeling the financial pinch. Bands fundraisers are becoming more and more of a fact of life for bands where the school simply cannot provide the funds required to keep things running.
If you are in charge of organizing the band fundraiser, this is a great opportunity for you to make sure that the much-needed cash finally starts coming in, but of course you want to choose a fundraising idea that will be the most effective.
Chocolate may seem really passé, but there’s a reason this fundraiser for bands is still so popular: it works. People love chocolate, there’s no way around that, and you may as well take advantage of the situation and go with a sure-fire winner. If you can get permission for the band to do their fundraising on school grounds, say, at pep rallies and lunch periods, this sort of student-oriented fundraiser can be a real profit-maker.
Scratch cards can also be an effective fundraiser for bands, and scratch cards work particularly well with small groups. This high profit fundraiser can yield up to 90% profit on your investment, and the cards are so easy to carry around that the band members can do their fundraiser anywhere and everywhere the opportunity presents itself. Scratch cards also work well because they are a direct-sale fundraiser that doesn’t require much logistical organization. There’s no shipping to worry about or products to distribute later.
These are just samples of the sort of fundraiser for bands you could do.
