Five Ways to Start Your Own Fundraiser

Oct 5, 2018

Create your own fundraiser and help The Salvation Army spread hope in your community.

Here are five fun ideas for staring a fundraiser with your friends, family or coworkers:

   Get Ugly for Good

Host an ugly sweater contest and use a fundraising page for each contestant where supporters vote by making a donation.

   Bake a Difference

Organize a bake sale at your workplace, school or church and exchange treats for "payment" to your fundraising page.

    Make the Years Count

Commemorate a special anniversary with a new tradition by asking your supporters to give $1 for every year you're celebrating.

   Fundraise the Roof

Get a group together and go caroling in your neighborhood, giving out festive cards with a link to support your fundraiser.

   Funday Night Football

Invite your family and friends over for the big game and encourage guests to donate the number of points scored.

 

Whether you start your own fundraiser or join someone else's, it's never been easier or more fun to raise money for a cause you care about.
