As much as we’re looking forward to warmer temperatures and outdoor activities this spring, we have to be prepared for rain. Many schools and organizations have all kinds of outdoor activities and fundraising events planned for spring, but what do you do if they get rained out? You can always reschedule, but there’s no guarantee the weather will cooperate on your backup date. Our team at Effective Fundraising Solutions has a better idea. Instead of rescheduling and hoping for the best, plan a fundraiser that you can easily move indoors. To make it even simpler, we have some easy fundraising ideas for you to try!
Worried about spring rain? Here are some easy fundraising ideas you can do indoors or outdoors.
Plant Sale
You can hold any sale indoors or outdoors, but plants are the perfect item for spring. You can ask a local nursery to donate plants or let you buy plants in bulk at a discount. You can also ask amateur gardeners to donate hearty plants that are easy to transplant from their own gardens. To make it even simpler, use our Flower Power fundraising campaign to sell bulbs from professional growers in the Netherlands and Vermont.
Carnival Games
While it’s always more fun to have a carnival outdoors, it’s not difficult to move it into the school gym or church hall. Set up stations and tables with various games, crafts, and other activities. You can charge for admission or by activity. For some extra fun and funds, offer classic carnival concessions like popcorn, cotton candy, and funnel cake.
Basketball Tournament
A charity basketball tournament is the perfect spring fundraiser for a school or sports team. Teams can either pay to participate or request sponsorships from individual donors or local businesses. To get the community more involved, you can also ask local businesses to donate prizes for the top teams. Ask spectators to make a donation when they come to cheer on their teams.
