These days with funding options for schools as low as they have ever been, students and teachers are left to try and figure out ways to raise money for extracurricular activities. School fundraising is often times what they do.

There are many different ways to raise money. Most schools will opt for programs where you purchase a particular product and then resell it for profit. They will usually use things such as candy bars, candles, magazine subscriptions, cookies, holiday gifts, and other things along those lines. While these can be a very simple way to raise some extra cash, there are things that you can do on your own to raise money. You could have a school bake sale. Allow the students to bake something with their parents at home and then set up a table of items for sale at the local supermarket. Most stores will allow school or church groups to do this at no charge. A bake sale takes very little money and can generate a very good profit. Another great thing to do is a raffle. You simply find or purchase something to raffle off and then sell tickets for it over a certain period of time. You will then draw one winning ticket from all of the tickets that you sold and award that person the prize. This can be one of the easiest ways to make money.

If you are looking to raise funds for your school, there are many things that you can do. You can find a great amount of ideas by researching the topic online.
