Job Cards Fundraising

Each volunteer writes on a 3"x5" card what they would be willing to do for fundraising for pay (i.e. painting, car washing, cleaning, yard work, babysitting). These cards were placed on a table during our spaghetti fundraising supper so adults could take note of the youths' abilities and areas of interest. Donation. (The kids got paid better in the end). 

Variation: Our preschool conducted a "GIVE & TAKE" fundraising event. On a big foam board located outside of the classroom, families can post services they are willing to GIVE or services they want to TAKE. Each service has a pledged donation amount that will go to the preschool. When a family selects a service they remove the pledge card and present it to the author. Examples are: to GIVE - babysitting @ $5 an hour, a home cooked meal delivered to your home for $20, a day with the teacher for $30. To TAKE - furniture moving @ $75, Saturday babysitting for a $25 donation, "taxi service home" for two children @ $10 a week. The list continues to grow and is a perfect fundraising idea for our cooperative preschool.

This idea comes from a website called Do It Yourself Fundraising and you can find their website here
