Go to any Jewelry store you have in your town. They should have pamphlets for each school in your town. ANd if they don't they'll surely be able to help you out from there.

Saw something of interest on TV yeasterday that could work with a school if adapted. Parents could be asked to give each of their children £5 or so. They take the £5 and look to make as much money as possible with it over a two week period (as long as it is not illegal or anything and possibly to be approved by a teacher) - eg - buy a bucket and sponge and offer to wash the cars down their street for a small fee etc etc. Kids could club their £5s together if they wish. At the end of it they can give the £5 back to their parents or put it into the final pot of money to go to the school. Possibly offer a prize for the children who make the most money. Could really engage the children and the parents in the cause?\nHope this might be of help.

Your ultimate goal is to become an integral part of the student community.  Recognize your strengths - you can bring together different teens / students from different schools. Identify the closest local schools and, wherever possible, create friendly competitions through cafe that are win-win for your sales and the students - be it marketing plans, food receipes, etc between different schools(see more detailed ideas below).  Moreover, your cafe can act as a place where students can experiment going from a student artist/musician/author to being a professional one. Some ideas:\n\n- Get student bands to play there, battle of the bands/schools. Coordinate with school music departments and leading student bands. \n\n- Have student art on display, for sale, and have different artist showings. Help the students advertise and have them draw in their own customers.  Coordinate with art departments.  \n\n- Consider giving out iTunes gift cards on special occasions.\n\n- Hold pre/post-athletic game/event specials like giving a free drink to the most valuable person of the game/event. End of the season celebrations. Work with cheer squads.\n\n- Get the captains of the teams, students leaders, etc to be cafe representatives (give out coupons on campus and get free coffee in return).\n\n- Advertise in the student newspapers AND subscribe so you have them available at the cafe.\n\n- Work with foods department to feature student receipes, concoctions etc on a weekly basis.\n\n- Have free wireless access (students can study there with their laptops).\n\n- Hiring students from the school to work there (they will always have friends stop by).\n\n- Work with their business classes to have an annual marketing campaign competition.  The successful ones get a cut of the boost in profits (or iTunes gift cards or something valuable) and their name on a plaque in the store.  Have them do your work for you - they want experience.\n\n- Have a strong feedback mechanism from teens/students about what the next big thing is because their scene is in constant flux.  \n\n- Have a website with an events calendar that students can easily request to schedule events to for their organizations, club meetings, etc.  Explain how it works so they understand.  Have coupons on it that change.  Make it a student source.  Have a presence on myspace for the cafe or some other online community stuff.\n\n- As it becomes more profitable, create an annual scholarship fund of $500 or more (book costs for a semester but always helpful and deductable) that you award to a senior for their commitment to community development or something like that resonates with the image your cafe is committed to.  If possible, have students vote on this.  They love to gossip and vote on people.\n\n- This may sound like a joke, but seriously, have networked X-boxs (locked up) for halo and halo tournaments or other such networked games on some big screens. Again, use competition to your advantage.  \n\nFor my last two cents, if you make the cafe a student resource center rather than just a point of sale, the sales will follow.  Best of luck.

There are technology grants running around all over out there.  You should have someone at the central office who can help you research grants.  It takes work, and it would belong to the school, but it is one way.  You would have to show how the computer would benefit your students.  The other way to get a cheap one is ebay, but remember, you get what you pay for.

I would cite examples that people in your school would agree with such as local students raising money for charity or doing volunteer work.\n\nIf you could look through your school newspaper for examples or your local paper, that would make a big impression.

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...

You'll make more money per student. \n\nAssuming you actually are good at teaching and know what you are talking about, you can probably charge any Joe off the street $20 per hour-long class, which would give you $200 per hour.\n\nHowever, it's smarter to try to get companies to send you people. If you can get a company to pay for it, charge $50 per hour.\n\nIf you create collateral, such as manuals, charge for it; do  not give collateral away, even if it's a single sheet of paper. Consider a dime a page a minimum price; if you give them a 50-page book, charge at least $5 for it. Personally, I'd charge 25 cents per page; remember, when you give them the answers in printed form, you've killed invoicable follow-up, so you want your blood money now.

If you have any NASCAR races near your school, they are always looking for workers in their hospitality tents and food/beverage tents.  If not, try visiting www.computerfun.com for compatibility matches in your school.  There is no money to put up front and students (even teachers) enjoy answering questions and purchasing results to see who they're matched up with.  It even includes the top three people you should never be friends with.  It's all in fun and students enjoy it.  \nSome Domino's have pizza cards that you can sell for $10.00 and keep $9.00.  I know you said you can't sell pizza but do the cards count?\nIf your town/school has a May Day or Carnival type event then you can see if a local junk yard will haul an old car out to you.  Place a tarp under it and bust out any glass that may shatter and cause harm and then charge money for people to take a swing at it.  Great fundraiser if you have a big football game coming up and you can decorate the car with the rival's name and colors and allow people/students to bash it.  Make sure you have arrangements for the junk yard to come and haul it back again.  Roll up the tarp with any busted pieces/galss that have dropped on it and your area is clean again.\nLastly, try to get with a screen printer in your area and make pillowcases for your school that have "A Warrior Sleeps Here" or "I Dream in Black and Gold" substituting your school mascot and colors.\nThese are all great fundraisers for our school.  We raise money every year to send students on a 5 day trip to New York.  Good Luck!

your high school should have information on that. maybe your school offers a course.

First, you have to make sure which kind students you want to teach; and then find some of this kind, tell them what you can tell them, how you teach, what kind of help you can offer to them. Let them become the free members as the situation they tell the other body of your class. Before all of this a research is necessary and a sharp name of your website will take a good effect.

As an ex-high school basketball coach, have a chore day or two over the summer. People love that stuff. You help your community and raise some money for your sport. Public relations dream let me tell ya! Players and parents line up chores for like a Saturday or a couple of Saturdays and take donations. You'd be surprised how much people will give you to do the simplest things. Good luck!

To get more college teams involved you need to visit educational institutions and talk to the staff and the students. There are various societies within colleges that you might want to talk to who may help you raise funds. You can stage a rock concert ---- it always sells, never misses. Make it a worthwhile couse for them to taike up and take home as well. That way the message spreads even more and the funds get better and better.
