I’ve seen many fundraisers that revolve around a meal: burger nights, pizza sales, soup lunches, or pancake breakfasts, as examples. A local church put a new spin on its program by offering a Baked Potato Bar Fundraiser. People were able to make a freewill donation to receive their potato and load it up with a variety of toppings to create a tasty after-services lunch.
The next time you need to raise some money, think about how you can provide something that people may not usually provide for themselves. It also helped that this meal allowed people to create their own combination of toppings instead of one selection fits all.
Ordinary is, well, ordinary. Find more success by adopting an out-of-the-ordinary niche for your next program.
