5 School Fundraising Ideas for the Holidays

5 Holiday School Fundraising Ideas

In this guide, we’ve outlined five holiday school fundraiser ideas that you can use to raise money for important programs and local charities. Holiday season is a time to get festive, feel thankful, and help those in need. These fundraising ideas are a wonderful way to teach students the value of service and selflessness.

Host a Holiday Benefit Concert

First, you can bring the community together under one roof for a joyful holiday concert, with singing, dancing, and themed decorations. Family and friends are guaranteed to attend, and if the proceeds go to a worthy cause, it will get people in the spirit of giving. You can pre-sell discounted tickets at the school, and then sell full-price tickets at the door, with a donations box in the lobby. We recommend including music that spans various religious traditions, so that everyone feels included.

Raise Money for a Themed Run

Fall is the perfect time to host a themed jog-a- thon, and you can personalize it around the upcoming holiday season. For example, students can wear elf hats and bright holiday colors, or the track can be lined with Christmas lights. In the weeks leading up to the run, students can collect donations from their neighborhood and family members, based on how many laps they run. Then, the students who raise the most money will receive special prizes.

Give Holiday Carols

During the jog-a- thon fundraiser, students can also canvas the neighborhood and see who wants to send holiday greetings to a special someone. The school choir club can spend a few days delivering “carol-grams” around town, spreading joy through song. These choir singers can also dress in coordinated holiday attire, so that their visits are a truly beautiful surprise. What a wonderful way to raise money for the community.

Host a Holiday Bake Sale

Who doesn’t love a tasty holiday treat? From pumpkin pie to sugar cookies, there are so many delicious treats during this season, and you can showcase them all at a holiday bake sale. Ask parents to bake their most beloved recipes, and you’ll be surprised with how many tasty sweets you receive. Then, you can sell them at a reasonable price and raise money for the school. This way, everyone gets to try the best homemade treats in town.

Partner with a Local Christmas Tree Farm

Finally, you can coordinate with a tree farm to offer a special discount on Christmas trees and wreaths. For every family that buys a tree, the farm will donate a percentage to the school or a local charity. You can also host the farm in the parking lot, so that families can purchase a tree when they pick up their children from school (perhaps at the same time as the holiday bake sale?).
