Holiday Fundraising Ideas
People are already in a giving mood during the holidays, which makes this one of the easiest windows all year to raise money, if you pick an idea that fits the season instead of fighting against it.
A few ideas worth trying
A holiday basket raffle
Gift baskets themed around the season sell tickets faster than almost any other time of year.
A gift-wrapping station
Set up at a busy shopping spot and wrap gifts for a donation, low cost and high visibility.
An ornament or holiday craft sale
Handmade items sell well as gifts, and the margin is usually better than store-bought merchandise.
A year-end email campaign
Tie it to Giving Tuesday or December 31st, when donor inboxes are already primed for an ask.
A giving tree
Tags on a tree list specific needs or gifts, and people take a tag and bring back what’s on it.
Everyone else is asking for money in December too, your supporters’ attention and budget are more split than any other time of year. Start earlier than you think you need to, the last two weeks before Christmas are already crowded.
Want a holiday fundraiser people remember past January?
A holiday-themed raffle gives supporters something fun to look forward to instead of one more ask in their inbox. See why a raffle is usually the best idea on this list, or jump straight in.
