Wow this is crazy my class is going to Washington DC. I need ways to raise money. You could try a bake sale and bake goodies or make your own little business if you have a special talent like singing etc. You can do that it's great way to get used to a crowd and raise money.

Get a lot of recipes and make them, and sell the recipes, if the people like it. :)

I think you should have a bake sale or you could baby sit or wash cars.

You can also make goodies like brownies. I made these and sold them to my little brother and sister for $2 and their friends.

I have a personal business that you can do through me each candle that sell is 6$ profit for you. I know another candle business, but these candles are great. If you would like to take a look at www.jackieperkins.scent-team.com. there is a fund raising link that you can take a look at, and look at the funds that you would raise. Let me know what you think.

I know how you feel. I have to raise money for me to be able to go on my field trip to new york with my school group. I have been looking for good ideas but cant find any.

Good luck on your money raising!! I have a neighborhood boy, who is 14, who cuts my lawn for me. I pay him $30.00 when he cuts the grass, once a week...you could try that!! Either print out, or hand write, a short note, saying what you are doing and what for, and stating that you will cut lawns for $???...put them in your neighborhood mailboxes...don't forget your name and phone number!! Let us know how your fund raising goes!!

I think one of the best ways to earn money for a group is to have a large yardsale. You can have all the members family donate items, you will be surprised at how much people will give to just get rid of stuff. Volunteer to go get items for people. It is a lot of hard work but it pays off. Set up in a parking lot, alot of business owners will be willing if it's for a good cause. Price stuff to sale!! You can assign different members different tasks, tagging, sorting, taking money, putting up signs everywhere! And then others to take it down, but as it winds down go cheaper on the prices so you don't have to pack stuff up. I know of several groups that have done this and they all have done well. Good Luck!

Your group can go to WorldsFinestChocolate online, and get supreme quality chocolate and things to sell. That's the old reliable way to do it: sell something for more than you paid, make it a small cheap item that is easy for people to say yes to, and something they don't get every day. Good luck, you're on your way already!

Our local school sent the entire 7th grade t Washington and they did it by collecting pop bottles and cans. They set up several drop boxes (wooden bins) where people could drop them off and some of the parents took them to the stores. They set the bins on property of parents and other reliable people down the main street so they wewre easy to reach and fairly secure.

The latest 'raffle' item here is for gas cards. I know of several organizations around town that have raffled off $50 and $100 gas cards and from what I hear they've more than reached their goals.
