Winter fundraising ideas! Plz!? - Trent - 02-21-2013 04:54 AM

I'm trying to raise money for an independent film. I have a job, but it doesn't bring in enough to budget the movie. With it being winter i have limited options for fundraising. I don't get snow here either so I can't shuvell snow. Any ideas for fundraising would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Go around your area offering to do odd jobs around people homes, that is what I used to do.

Consider an online crowdfunding project on a site like ClickStartMe. There are several sites where, for a percentage of what you raise, you can use the power of crowdfunding to your advantage. You put your cause online, tell people on the site what you are trying to raise money for, then promote the fundraiser by sharing a link to the online crowdfunding fundraiser to all of your social media contacts. People go to the site, give $5 or $10 (or more!) through their credit cards in a secured transaction, and you get the money you need!

Crowdfunding is generally described as getting a lot of small donations from a large number of people. Using the power of social networks, it is easy to get a great fundraiser going through a crowdfunding site and raise money quickly without having to do car washes and bake sales and the other time consuming old fashioned ways of raising money.
