This is one of those “win-win” school fundraisers because everyone likes going to the movies. Rather than selling overpriced products to your friends, relatives and neighbors for very little profit, you can give them real value (if you’ve ever paid $14 for a small tin of popcorn, you know what we mean).

Go to a local movie theater and ask to speak with a manager about donating a movie showing to your fund raising group. Make an agreement with the theater that you can sell the tickets and keep the money (less the cost of printing the tickets) and the theater keeps all the money from sales at the concession stand.

This is a win-win for all involved. Your group gets the money from the ticket sales, the theater gets all the money from the concessions sold and your movie watchers get to see a show they might have wanted to see anyway, without being gouged.

The best times for the show are Saturday or Sunday afternoon since that is when kids will be out of school, and the theater will be more willing to donate a showing when the theater is not as busy.

You’ll want to choose a movie that has wide appeal and has a PG or safer rating to get the best attendance. The more people you have, the more money your school fund raiser (and the theater) will make and so you want to fill the theater if possible.

Divide the number of seats in the theater by the number of people in your group and this will determine the number of tickets each person should sell.

If each group member sells 10 tickets and you have only 20 people in your fund raising group, that’s 200 sold. Given a typical ticket price of $8.00, your school group will earn $1600 for the night.

More information about brick fundraising

There is probably no single food more popular in the US than pizza. Kids prefer pizza over most other foods for lunch or dinner (maybe even breakfast!). That’s why a pizza fundraiser is sure to make money. There are a couple different ways to raise money with pizza fundraisers.

Fundraising pizza cards

These are discount cards that are issued by national chains that are good for a certain number of uses and punched out by the store as they’re used. These can be a great value since your group buys them at a discount and resells them to your supporters who then get lots of pizza for not very much money.

Fundraising pizza kits

This works a lot like a cookie dough fundraiser . Your supporters order the frozen pizza (regular, mini, and French bread pizza) from a brochure and it is then shipped out to your volunteers to sort and deliver. There is usually a minimum order required. Your supporters will buy the pizza kits because of the convenience and to help your cause. The kits offer an easy way to provide lunch or dinner for busy families.
