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

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%.

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

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

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

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!"

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.
