Fundraising Suggestions Needed

[geo]

We come up this idea last time during meeting. If you have done this please tell me how successful was it.

We are planning to go to down town with our team's "business cards". The idea is to give out our "business cards" and hopefully someone would be interested in sponsoring us.

THanks

It could work--just be careful about "no soliciting" signs and double-check on the local ordinances. (They can be funny sometimes.)

We kind of do the same thing but we call it corporate mailing. But a bunch of us go out to the manufatcuring places around school. But i guess it helps that the city of Chatsworth is second for machine shops per square mile than the whole country. But it could work none the less.

Also its not really soliciting because you are not selling anything. But rules might be different around here.

Pizza Sales? Buy Discounted pizza and sell it to people at school?

cake sales : Make some cakes and sell them.
Bag packing: Call your local supermarkets and convince them to let you pack peoples bags for a day - This is very good , we raised about £1000 this way. Just make sure you dont rattle th money etc as it counts as active begging or something lol
