[quote=Anonymous]Actual ideas from a fellow Title 1 schools:

-fundraiser nights at local restaurants (chipotle, Panda Express, &pizza all do them)
-adopt a teacher or a “clear the list” campaign at the beginning of the year—just share supply lists on social media and ask parents to share
-an “envelope” campaign: https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/small-business/articles/envelope-fundraiser/ We did it online and just created a store with 100 different items. Made I think $3,000 with just limited social media sharing on giving Tuesday. 
-fun runs/walks—there’s a splashy company that does it whose name escapes me. It’s awful—they take either 49% or 51% of your funds raised and you can’t do any other fundraisers in the weeks surrounding it. But it’s tons of fun, they do almost everything and kids had a great time. We had a realtor sponsor shirts. 
-small amounts but good for community building are things like plant sales around Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. Buy at Home Depot or Costco and sell individually.

Some events are super easy some require lots of volunteers. The volunteer part will burn you out the fastest so start slow. [/quote]
