Does anyone have tips for fundraisers that will get lots of $$$$$?
My club wants to give scholarships to members, but the usual fundraisers are not really bringing much money. I know Krispy Kreme helps with fundraisers, and we are doing a book sale soon, but I wanted to bring fresh ideas, because I want my club to start giving out scholarships on Fall.

do you know any people personally that could fund small scholarships? Even like $1,000 amounts. That's what my friend does for his teens to college non profit. The individual could mentor and fund a student. Also reach out to local businesses. Auctions talent/fashion shows

@Purple, no I don't know anyone. I thought that the club could create a gofundme page to raise more money though.

idk my biggest fundraiser was an art fundraiser we had local artist either donate their art or we purchased at a low price so we could sell for higher raised $10,000 dollars also we did a couple teen party fundraisers that made us a profit of 2,500 per party if you can find a building that holds about 400 people and get some local popular artist to perform for free and charge $5-10 per person to get in

I am considering getting a subscription of magazines geared towards black women like Essence and Ebony.
I found a couple promotions on Ebony here and here
And here for Essence Magazine.
There is also a $5 subscription for a year of Oprah's magazine on groupon
