Ways For Kids to Raise Money

Whether your kids are raising money for their school, an organization they belong to or they want to raise money for a charity, there are a few things you need to keep in mind, such as their safety and the appropriateness of the activity. Kids should always be supervised by an adult when they are fundraising. There are many things within these boundaries that are great for kids who want to do fundraising.

  1. Have a Bake Sale

    • Kids love baking, so a bake sale is a wonderful way to get kids involved in fundraising. The kids can help bake items for the sale and they can even collect the money and work the table at the sale. This type of fundraiser works well because it is easy for adults to supervise and it is easy to organize. If you don't already have a charity or group you are raising money for, The Great American Bake Sale is a charity that helps kids organize bake sales and then donate their proceeds to end childhood hunger.

    Sell Lemonade

    • Selling lemonade may seem like a simple concept, but it works. Little is needed to set it up. It is easy to organize and it is easy to supervise. Parents can help the kids make their lemonade and set up a stand. During the sale the parents can allow the children to collect the money and operate the stand, while they look on to ensure safety. If your children don't have a fundraiser they are raising money for, they may want to consider Alex's Lemonade Stand. The charity was started by a little girl who had cancer and held her own lemonade stand fundraiser to raise money for other kids who had cancer.

    Have a Yard Sale

    • Whether you call it a garage sale or a yard sale, this is a great way for kids to raise money. It teaches them how to give because they can sell some of their own things they are not using, and it helps them raise money for a charity or organization they belong to. It is also fairly easy to organize and supervise, but it may involve a bit more parental involvement because people tend to try to strike deals at yard sales.
