About Fundraising Ideas Online

You’ve probably noticed most fundraising idea lists online say the same ten things. We built this site because we got tired of reading them too.

Community volunteers working together at a local fundraiser

Why this site exists

Fundraising Ideas Online is where we put the ideas we actually see work, not just the ones that make a good listicle headline. A school PTA and a Rotary club aren’t fundraising for the same reasons, with the same volunteers, or the same tolerance for risk, so we try to write for the group in front of us instead of everybody at once.

That means naming the tradeoffs plainly. Some ideas take twenty volunteer hours to clear two hundred dollars. We say so. Others, a raffle chief among them, can clear more in a single weekend than a month of bake sales. We say that too, even on the days it sounds like we’re selling something.

What we’re upfront about

We’re part of the Chance2Win family of sites, and yes, we think a well-run raffle is usually the highest-return idea on this whole list. You’ll see that opinion show up more than once. But we’d rather earn the argument by being straight about the other nine ideas than by pretending they don’t work, because plenty of them do, for the right group.

The Chance2Win Team

The Chance2Win Team built this site alongside the tools we use to help schools, churches, and nonprofits run their raffles day to day. If you get to the point where you’re ready to run one yourself, that’s who picks up the phone. Real ideas, real experience, same as it says at the bottom of every page here.
