One of the most important things to any effective ministry is being able to survive financially. In Youth Ministry, this generally means that youth groups are required to do some fundraising to help pay for events that are not in the annual budget. Here are some links that include fundraising ideas that can be used in the parish to help pay for trips, retreats and other activities.

Please note:  While feel that these are reliable websites, please know that these site are not sponsored by the Diocese of Grand Island or any of it offices.  If you feel the information is not reliable please contact us and we will remove the links from our website.

  • EGAD Ideas

    This website contains free ideas that have been tested by people who are currently in youth ministry so you will find time tested ideas that you and your youth will enjoy.
  • Groups Youth Ministry

    This website is hosted by Group Publishing. These are ideas that have been published in Group Magazine and were also submitted by people who work in ministry.
  • Do-It Yourself Fundraisers

    These ideas come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Some contain all the details, while others contain brief summaries and can be adapted to your specific needs. Some of them may be very similar with different names...which probably means they are proven successful fundraisers!

Up With People is a music group that tours internationally.  The participants are required to raised their  own funds for the tour.  Here they list several ideas that have been successful in the past for participants. Check out their ideas and adapt them to your own personal needs.

There's nothing to it!  Spread the word about recycling empty printer cartridges.  Collect and send them in.  Get paid.  There is no cost to you.  We pay the shipping.  Sorting not required.  This is not only a simple fundraiser, but it is also helps the environment by keeping empty printer cartridges out of landfills (a great way to teach social justice).

Your nonprofit, school, or community group can raise money through cell phone recycling. Over $6,000,000 has been earned by thousands of participants in 50 states and Canada!  Again, this is not only a pretty simple fundraiser, but also helps the environment by keeping used cell phones out of landfills (another great way to teach social justice).

At Little Caesars Pizza Kit Fundraising Program, we choose all of our ingredients on the basis of quality, taste and nutritional value. We believe that eating sensibly combined with regular physical activity is the best solution to a healthy balanced lifestyle. With this fundraiser, you sell frozen pizza kits to your community.  When planning this fundraiser you must deliver the products the same they are delivered to you or have ample freezer space to store the frozen products.  Check out this site for more information on how the program.  Several groups rate this as one of their most successful fundraisers ever.

          

Simply put, We buy used cellphones.  We pay you for inactive cell phones so that we can Reuse, Refurbish, and Recycle them. So, get started today. Go green by collecting inactive cell phones for recycling…and get green in your pocket! It’s that easy.
