If all your GSA members threw some of their pocket change into the jar at every meeting (or every other meeting), it would add up pretty quickly. Donation jars – And speaking of donations, why not put out a donation jar? Your GSA advisors might be willing to put one in their office or classroom, and it should come out for every GSA meeting.Make a sign that asks for a suggested donation, and you’ll be surprised by how many people give! Rainbow ribbons are often given out for Day of Silence and Ally Week, and you might even be able to make some money on them. Rainbow ribbons – Pinning a rainbow ribbon to your shirt, coat, or bag is a really simple way to say “Hey, I support LGBT equality”.And if you can somehow tie the candy in to the GSA’s cause (like Skittles or other rainbow-themed snacks), you might be able to turn it into an educational opportunity, as well. Candy sales or bake sales – You’ll have to check and see what your school’s policy is on selling treats, but this has been one of the most successful strategies we’ve seen by far.
#Fundraising ideas for middle schoolers how to
This can make fundraising really tough.Īt our summer Leadership Training Institute in 2009, a couple of our Peer Mentors led a great workshop on how to run an effective GSA, and they had the group share some of the different strategies they’ve used in their own schools to raise money for their GSAs and clubs: One of the most common questions we get from students and advisors is “How can we raise money for our GSA?” We recognize that not all clubs receive money from their schools, and not all GSAs are treated equally as other clubs (even though they should be!).
