For many schools, the money that is raised through school fundraisers allows the school system to obtain extra necessities and supplies that they might have had to go without during each school year. Running a school fundraiser can be a difficult and time-consuming job, and it will take several involved people to make the fundraiser a success.

  1. PTO-Parent/teacher organizations and associations often take over the responsibility of running a school fundraiser. Typically, these organizations already have a working budget that continues to be adjusted from one year to the next. The officers of a PTO are usually given specific duties with regards to school fundraisers, including planning, implementing, and budgeting. A PTO generally decides ahead of time what the focus of the fundraiser or fundraisers will be, such as purchasing new playground equipment, stocking more library shelves, or upgrading a new computer lab. For those wanting to help with school fundraising, a parent/teacher organization is a good place to start. Memberships in these associations are typically open throughout the year, and new members are needed and welcome.

  2. Set a Goal-Before any successful fundraiser can begin, an attainable goal must be set. Goals and projects should be chosen based on the needs of a particular department or the school system as a whole. For example, a high school band may choose to run a fundraiser to raise money for new band instruments. The arts club may need new art supplies, and the cheerleaders may wish to finance their trip to a state cheerleading competition. Once a goal has been set, those involved in running the fundraiser will be more focused on attaining that goal. Keep in mind that the goal needs to be realistic, however. An unreachable goal will do little more than discourage those who have worked so hard in trying to make the fundraiser a success.
