Candy sells the best and fastest. The dollar candy bars are easy to sell. When its warmer car washes are also excellent. Bake sales during the holidays are also big sellers.

Usually it's something like candy or pizza sales. My school used two succesful fund raisers. A car wash, which for elementary has it's downfalls, and our biggest was a garage sale. People would donate items, staff would price them, advertisements & flyers went up about 2 weeks before the sale. It became an annual event. The items were put in the school gym so weather wouldn't effect it. Hotdogs, chili, desserts and soda were provided by the Mother's club for purchase, which brought even more money. It's become a totally successful fund raiser and we see many schools doing the same program.

You should seek sponsorship from an established charity instead of seeking individual donors, at least to start with. Which charity you can approach depends on your location and what education programs you want to implement. Some of the larger, international businesses also have charity grants for stuff like this.

We have a dinner/auction.  People go around to local stores asking for donations.  Every class donates a themed basket and they put it up for auction at the dinner.  It has made big money for the school.\nHope this helps!

You're too late to do any applications for funding outside the school your son will be attending. But the school itself should have several options.\n\nYour local library will be your greatest resourse. Just ask the librarian.\n\nAlso, local grants and foundations support educational opportunities. Go to one of the non-profit organizations in your town, and ask them who the money-people are in the area. The non-profits always know where the money is.\n\nIf all funding efforts fail, low-interest loans are available.

Sell "Holiday Grams", it would be a short note that the sender writes and xmas lollipop sent to someone in their class (say like 2nd period on Dec 15th). Charge two or three dollars. My school used to do this to raise money during each major holiday

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.

Call your local United Way (or similar agency) to be sure that this is not already available in your area.\n\nIf it's not, contact your local churches, Salvation army, schools, local government and determine their requirements for doing a "coat drive" and contact local schools and churches and other agencies to get a list of the kids who may need the coats. (For privacy reasons, you may not want to handle actually names, but just request a "head-count".)\n\nYou may also want to approach your local newspaper to see if they would be willing to run ads for your "collection day" event at a public location, and a second ad for your "distribution day" event. You may want to ask local dry cleaners and laundry mats to exchange the cleaning of the donated coats for mention in all freebie advertising and in the "Thank you" letter to the editor that you will write for all of those individuals, businesses and agencies that participated in the event -- be sure to include numbers on how many needy children were served by the drive and announce it as an annual event, if you plan to continue the service in future years.\n\nYou may even want to work with a local business each year to provide hot cocoa and cookies for those who show up to get the coats. Give your event an appealing name "Keeping Cozy" or something and create a theme that carries out the message.\n\nBest of luck!

That is definitely a worthy cause.   If you're going all the way to Florida, you might want to take two with you.   Think about it...you may draw media attention.

your parents should have the final say as to whether you can go. if they are supportive of you then this teacher shouldnt be able to stop you from going. if you have your parents support, ask your teacher to sign the slip. if she doesnt, report it to the office, or someone in charge of your trips, and have them contact your parents.\n\ngood luck!

1) Ask your local church for help.\n2) Sell cookies to raise the money.\n3) Ask parents for a donation.\n\nThere are many more ideas you can think of.

Contact the Chamber of Commerce, there bound to be businesses who will be too happy to sponsor a cause such as your daughter's opportunity to learn and experience other cultures.  In return you and your family can speak of the businesses in a complementary manner as a pseudo advertisement.  If the Chamber of Commerce cannot help, contact individual businesses.  When you do get sponsors, make sure to even print out posters how helpful the businesses were in sponsoring your daughters Ambassadorship trip.

Have you actually checked with your school? Also check with women's help centers in your area. A lot of times they will bend over backwards to help a single mom get funding for school.

Offer something they want! How did one school get parents to come to parent conferences? They arranged to have someone there to help with their taxes!

Sometimes peoples willingness to help might surprise you, specially around the christmas season, but you gotta realize also that people are very untrusting nowadays, I would say to raffle rather cheap items and state that the proceeds will go to this family in need. Try to contact the media, or your local radio stations, they migth be willing to help. Hope i was of some help, Really wish you the best, i hope you do get to help out this family
