| I'm on the PTA board this year. Besides box tops and the target red card, what fundraising ideas do you recommend? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

| Ask me for a check and don't make me sell anything or buy anything. |

| Buy-nothing fundraiser. My favorite. (You can suggest amounts and/or focus on participation--"If each family gave $xxx, we'd cover our fundraising goals for the whole year, but any amount helps, from $5 to $1000. Our goal is 100% participation!" |

+1. We will happily donate. Cut out all other fundraisers. |

| We asked for straight donations and got almost nothing, had to go back to the annoying fundraisers. |

| Restaurant nights and the book fair were good fundraisers for our (Title 1) PTA last year. |

| I'd prefer to write a check, but I do like the fundraisers that take your kid's art and puts it on stuff. The grandparents like mugs and magnets, and the kids like to use their art note cards throughout the year |

| But people don't straight donate. Raffle tickets, boosterthon, paver bricks. |

They hate you, do-nothing mom. |

This has been so successful at our school that we don't have to do any other fundraisers. When you buy the wrapping paper nobody even wants, the school only gets a small portion of the purchase price. When you just give it to the school, they get 100%. |

So write a big check and you never need to hear from them. |
