Write up a business plan and shop it around. There are lots of people with money and no ideas how to invest, and there are lots of people with ideas and no money to invest. The two groups need each other. \n\nIf you have a sound idea that looks like it will make money, then people will invest in your idea. If they won't...it is YOUR IDEA that needs polishing.

There are plenty of free hosting services.  To ask for money you should have something on line that will help potential investors see what you have to offer.

Get a restuarant to let your volunteers come wait tables for a night or part of a night. All the tips you collect  to your charity. Some chain restaurants prefer to have just a few of your people help out with things like bussing tables, you advertize the night will beneift your charity and they donate a percentage of sales for the night to your organization.\n\nOther than that, direct mail works. Get together a list of your target donors, write a compelling letter, include a return envelope, and wait for the mail. If you do not have a mailing list, you can go to a mail house and buy access to one. You might also get the printing donated by  a printing company, depending on how large a mailing you do. For instance, for my homeless shelter, we mail out to 2,500 of our past donors and make about $14,000. When we cold-mailed out to 50,000 people in our town, we made $42,000 (after expenses).

Enter a trailer in a home show or Commonground Fair. Donate one to a good cause and get media exposure.  E-bay, Criags list,  Web-site links.\n\nGood luck

You have to solicit the corporate sponsors, but I think you would be surprised how many will actually donate.  Write a letter, make phone calls, try to set up face-to-face meetings.  \n\nAlso, individual store managers sometimes are given a small discretionary fund with which to make donations (supermarkets, etc.).  \n\nYou are doing noble work.  God bless and continued success!!

Subscribe to sparklen enterprises. You can make thousands in a month. And, they are currently saving up half of their proceeds to give to comic relief on red nose day. You could make a mint and help a charity too!\n\nMore information? Email me on rosiebelinda@yahoo.co.uk

start a web site to take donations, or "cash advances", try putting it on my space, the word will spread quickly since it's for a good cause. contact your local radio channels, for nonprofit causes most will run adds free, or at least a discount. encourage your community to get involved. maybe visit some larger businesses in your area, and encourage them to sponsor or contribute to the cause. Promise free advertising, and new loyal costumers, that should help. Good Luck, and I hope everything works out.

Wow...great idea sweety but it is alot of hard work, first of all you need to find *donations* within your community, such as business, tell them it is for a benefit. They can donate gift certificates, cash etc...etc..These will be donated at the poker run as door prizes you sell tickets for these the day of the run.You set a time for the poker run and the route , you must also have atleast 2 dead riders with trailers, these are usually 2 pickup trucks with a trailer and tools, and someone who is a lil mechaniclly inclined to pick up bike riders who have broke down and follow the bikers all the way. You have too designate 4 stops (usually bars) where you made arrangements with the owners to punch each bikers envelope with a certain hole punch, before continuing to the next stop.We usually began our yearly toy and poker run at 7a.m. til 2 a.m .The poker run leaving at 10:30a.m on a 100 mile round trip, but while the riders are gone on the poker run there was games and tattoo artist, back at the place it is held. Posters were placed 2 weeks prior the event, and you need to get ahold of venders such as hot dog stands , nacho stands, crafts, anything you want and they in turn donate a percentage of the sales to you.

Try washing cars, ask your mom or you can bake cookies, cakes, muffins, make candy, etc. and sell. Even have a garage sell, it not only earns you extra cash, but it helps to clean some clutter that may have needed cleaning up. You can even get your coach to draw up some type of legitimate form for you and your team to go to corporate businesses just to aks for donations.\n\nGood luck with earning funds...

If you are still in school, try going to your schools office and asking someone whether or not is okay for you to do fundraisers in his honor.  Try selling candy, pizza kits, crafts, special pens and pencils, anything you can think of really would work.  You can also go around and ask people for a donation.  Try putting together some simple red ribbons to simbolize cancer foundation and give those to people who donate.  If you're really creative, make bracelets in the color red and sell those.  You'll soon create a fad and everyone will want one.  These ideas would also work around your neighborhood, but you'd have to put some work into that to make sure people really believe your cause and don't think that you're just trying to scam them for money!!!  Also try visiting cnacer websites for more info!

Easy - try one or all of these things:\n\n1. Sell something or a lot of somethings you own that are of value.\n\n2. Take on a second or third job.\n\n3. Set up a carwash at the neighborhood gas station to raise money for your "good cause."  Yes, you can be the cause.  If you pitch it cleverly people will admire your inititive and creativity and reward you for it even if you're not the classic charity.   Having hot, swimsuit clad people washing also helps.  :P\n\n4. Other than that, if you have good credit you can borrow it or tap a family member, but that isn't going to work if you're a flake.\n\nUsually people that have it together can find money when they need it, or better yet, they plan ahead so urgent needs are pretty rare.

Spaghetti dinners, crab feeds, pancake breakfasts, car washes, catalog sales, candy sales, dances, silent auction, raffle tickets..etc.\n\nYou probably wont be able to raise $5000 each in one event, you will more than likely need to plan to have a series of planned events (dinners/breakfasts) and ongoing events (catalog sales,candy sales,bake sales)
