mmm...we do not do any fundraising in our church. The church would rather take up a special offering for our need instead of selling candy bars, pizza's, calendars etc.

Now we do small things outside of the church with friends and school teachers, grandparents and family. Sonic cards, we did a golf scramble etc...

I did a blog post with 71 fundraiser ideas that might be helpful. Check 'em out below.

Personally, we try to stay away from selling goods and products at church. Feels way too similar to what Jesus unleashed on in the temple. Obviously, they were earning money for different reasons, but still.

Do a work-A-thon at your church. Same concept as any pledge fundraiser. Kids collect pledges to work at church for one whole day. Work with your janitor or volunteers who clean the church. Wash windows, steam clean the carpets and pews/chairs, wax the bathroom and kitchen floors, paint, do landscaping work. This is a win/win fundraiser. The congregation wins by paying the kids to do work at church that needs to get done and the kids get the funds they need. We just did this fundraiser a couple weeks ago and most of the kids made phone calls to solicit pledges and made from 100 dollars to over 600 dollars each depending on how much heart they put into it.
