Goblin Insurance Fundraiser

trinity — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 13:14:32 +0000

Your group can make money prior to Halloween selling “Goblin Insurance”. Here’s how it works. Using a computer and a printer you print up special Halloween Insurance Policies. You charge $5 per residence policy and $15 per business policy. Here’s the good part. You keep all the money! Your group agrees to clean up any Halloween mess – soaped windows, etc. made during Halloween night. You do not agree to repair vandalized items – broken windows – blown up mailboxes, etc. Most people will think it’s a clever idea and will donate $5. Sell a couple hundred and you have yourself $1000. Your expense will be the cost of ink and a ream of paper, plus a few cleaning supplies if needed.

This is a good fundraiser for a school economics class. Give each group member $10 to $25 and challenge them to find ways to double or triple the money in three months.

Ask the owners of large truck, tractor, earth mover, emergency vehicles, etc. to park their vehicles in the church parking lot after a Sunday service.

Great money maker and education experience for the kids and parents alike!

Yard Sale of Lost and Found Items

At the end of the school year there are often many items left in the lost and found. Contact your locals schools and ask them what they do with these items. Mention you are having a fundraising yard sale and see if they will donate the items. Most of the time they end up just throwing out anything left behind.

For larger items, consider searching the streets around campus on moving day. Many college students throw out their furniture and household items rather than move it. Many of these items are in great condition and could bring in some good money for your fundraiser.
