Creative Fundraising Ideas
Sometimes the fundraiser that works is the one people haven’t seen ten times already. Here are some of the more original ways groups are raising money right now, from raffles to backyard duck races.
A few ideas worth trying
A raffle
Still one of the highest-return ideas on this list, and the one most groups underuse.
A duck race
Numbered rubber ducks racing down a creek or a pool, with a ticket for each one.
A basket raffle
Themed gift baskets built from donated items instead of purchased prizes.
A gaming livestream
Someone streams and viewers donate in real time toward a visible goal.
An online auction
Donated items and experiences, bid on from anywhere over a set window.
A virtual event
Trivia night, cooking demo, or streamed concert people join from home.
A creative idea earns attention, but attention isn’t the same as ticket sales. You still have to promote it as hard as anything else on this list, a clever format doesn’t sell itself just because it’s new.
Want the creative idea that’s easiest to actually pull off?
A raffle takes the least setup of anything on this list and still raises real money. See why a raffle is usually the best idea on this list, or jump straight in.
