There are several things you can do for free to raise money. Especially, if the cause is noble enough that others will join you and they believe in it. It is hard to raise money when you don’t have any money to start with. Here are several examples that can assist you in raising money that won’t cost anything. If you can get others to help, you can be successful.
A great idea for fund raising is the good old-fashioned bake sale. A great way to do this for free is to have everyone involved that you are raising money for bake something; cookies, brownies, pie, cake, etc. and bring it to the event. You can charge a small amount for each item and all of the profits will go toward your cause. This is usually has a great turnout.
A carwash is another fund raising idea. Many local gas stations will let you use the far side of their lot and their hoses and their water. This is because the car wash brings extra traffic into their business raising their profits. You can charge for the carwash a few bucks and all of the proceeds can go to your benefit.
Raffles are a great fundraising idea, but they are hard to get started. First, you have to have something to raffle off. If your benefit is for a big and needy cause, then chances are good you can get a business to donate something expensive for the cause. The business can write off the donation in their taxes so it is no loss to them. If the item being raffled is an excellent item, the local newspaper might even do a free story on the raffle giving you free advertising and increasing your sale in tickets. Raffles are very successful in free fundraising events.
Barbeques are also good free fundraising events, along with a group yard sale or flea market. This is when you have all of your friends and people supporting your cause get together with items they would like to donate for sale, furniture, clothing, toys etc. and sell them.
There are many free fundraising ideas that can be very successful if you have the right people helping you and you have a good cause.
