Coin Drive

5 Cent Drive

The 5 cent drive is a fundraiser that seems to be gaining popularity at many schools and it’s one that’s relatively easy to run.

Rebel

Rebel for a Cause Day

Instead of mufty day, why not have a 'Rebel for a Cause' or 'break-the-rules' day? Pick the rules students are allowed to break and charge a gold coin per rule. All those budding anarchists can get a bit of rebellion out of their system, and your school or club will raise some handy dollars.

Engaging New Volunteers

Friend-Raising aka How to Engage Volunteers
