What Our Customers Say

This was our first fundraiser and we sold more than we thought we could with minimal marketing due to NECAP testing. Big Fundraising Ideas is organized which helped make the process easy for first timers. We were pleased with magician and would hire him again.

They were great to work with! I loved being able to have our kids sell to relatives across the country compared to being stuck to just selling to those in our local area.

The only negative response we received from potential customers was the cost of shipping which amounted for the loss of approximately 20-25 orders.

This fundraising method worked perfectly for our needs. We were looking for a fundraiser where we did not have to collect order forms or do the distribution of products. The online store was easy to distribute to our students and easy to use on the consumer end. The site for tracking sales was really convenient.

High school students next to lockersHigh School Fundraising Ideas: How Do They Work?

Of the 17 million U.S. high school students, about 90% are doing extracurricular activities. Everyone’s looking for more creative high school fundraising ideas that engage not just students, their family members, and community members but also local businesses.

That’s where we come in. With over 100 best-selling products, you’ll find the perfect school fundraiser for your group.

Sponsors can have their students take orders from a brochure or sell an “in-hand” product. Brochure fundraising requires us to ship supplies to your group before you start. You’ll receive brochures, order forms, prize flyers, and money collection envelopes.

Distribute these items to the group at your kickoff meeting. Instruct students to collect orders by showing their brochures to people they know.

After two weeks of selling, send us your order forms for processing. We’ll send you a sales report and invoice and schedule your delivery date. To simplify distribution, each high school student receives an individually boxed order.

If you decide to sell the product upfront, submit a purchase order. Once we ship the product, distribute it to your students with a deadline to return the money. Invoices are due within 15 days of receiving the product. It’s essential to encourage students to actively participate in fundraising activities to ensure the success of the events.

High school students giving thumbs upHigh School Fundraiser Suggestions & School Fundraising Ideas

Keep your students focused on raising money by breaking down the sale into smaller daily goals.

Invite students to participate in various fundraising activities to boost engagement and success. For brochure fundraisers, have students carry a ballpoint pen. Make sure orders are legible. Continue to emphasize the importance of collecting money upfront with the order.

Any checks are payable to your organization. For direct sale products, use a tracking sheet. Collect student information and document the number of distributed items.

During your kickoff meeting, ask high school students to create a list of prospects. Give your students an easy script to use to simplify their sales pitch. Students should verify that their order is correct before taking it home for distribution.

More High School Fundraising Ideas

High school is all about school spirit. Capitalizing on this enthusiasm is where you’ll find the most profit in your fundraiser.

No matter what product you choose, you can create something simple and profitable. You want to sell a product that generates big wins for your organization.

One of the best times to promote your sale is during a kickoff meeting for a student organization—especially one where you’re setting big goals for the year. Many students will look forward to the chance to contribute to their group’s cause.

Consider forming fundraising committees with a mix of student and parent volunteers, which can enhance your level of engagement and help get fundraiser buy-in. These students can be vital ambassadors for your organization’s fundraiser.

Valentine’s Day is a perfect opportunity for a high school fundraiser. We offer several ideas, like Popcornopolis or Yummy Hearts Lollipops. Customers can choose from 6 popcorn flavors that come pre-wrapped in bouquet-style arrangements.

A fun way to sell these would be to include Valentine’s Day cards with each purchase, making a quick and easy gift for that special sweetheart, which is an elevated take on Valentine's candy grams. Plan to start this fundraiser for a pre-Valentine’s Day delivery in early January. Check out high school selling success secrets.

Pizza is the perfect item to sell to parents and teachers. Most high school students have a pizza after school.

‘Heartland Goodies & Gifts' is an excellent option for classic high school fundraising ideas. With homewares and kitchen gadgets, it's ideal for whipping out at a family gathering or dinner party. Or even at the office break room for busy executives who do not have time to shop.

Some brochures also offer magazine subscriptions. Does anyone you know work at a doctor’s office or somewhere with a long wait? Try selling those subscriptions that regularly need updating. Maybe even bring your brochure along to your next teeth cleaning!

Older students never outgrow enticing prizes, and our prize programs are attention-getters. You can challenge high school students with a 'Show Your Spirit' prize program. This program creates an atmosphere of energy and school pride, and students can show off their success.

High schoolers will also love cash prizes. With our cash prize programs, the more they sell, the more money they’re awarded (and the school makes a significant profit, too!).

Your students can win up to $200 if they reach the highest level of the 'Cash Prize Extravaganza' prize program! And we'll award an extra $25 to the first-day top-seller student.
