25 Holiday Fundraising Ideas for Nonprofits

Holiday Parties
No matter the denomination, everyone loves a good holiday celebration. Why not organize one this year for fundraising to boost your non-profit group or club? Here are a few ideas to get your holiday party fundraiser off the ground.

1. Ugly Sweater – Have an ugly sweater party with a $10 entrance fee and give a prize for the ugliest sweater (as voted upon by the guests).

2. Silent Auction – With a little work on your part to get great donations, a silent auction can raise a lot of funds to help you start off next year right.

3. Raffle – Sell raffle tickets for one to three big ticket items a few weeks before the big party. You’ll be surprised at how far a couple of dollars from everyone can stretch.

4. Craft Fair – If you have some crafty types in your group, organize them in a hall or the school and advertise the fair, perhaps with 10% of profits going to your non-profit.

5. Gala – Try something fancy and fun for adults only. Get a five piece band and a hall donated for the cause and dance the night away.
