Why is Middle School Fundraising Difficult

Middle School Fundraising can be very difficult. I am not sure why, but it seems to be a challenge for most schools and school Fundraising Ideas can be difficult enough.

You need to find a product that they will be excited to sell. Also, make sure the students know what they are raising money for and how it will benefit them and the school.  

Another great idea to get them excited about a fundraiser is to have cool prizes they can try and win, such as Ipods, gift certificates to iTunes or other electronic or clothing stores.  Have a drawing for the most sold items or who turns their order and money in on time. You could even place them in a drawing if they reach a certain goal. 

Be sure and make the goal reasonable so they won’t get discouraged. For example, if you are selling Cookie Dough Fundraising tubs have the goal be between 8-10 tubs not 20 or 30. The middle school students tend to be more excited about selling for the school when prizes and rewards are offered to them. 

Be sure and have fun and be excited about your fundraising efforts with them so they will be too.
