Christmas fundraising ideas

The most popular fundraising ideas around Christmas and the holiday season usually involve making or selling festive items, like cookies and baked goods, wreaths, and decor.

Raising money around Christmas time can be especially successful with larger-scale events. Some of the most profitable ideas include hosting a holiday market, silent auction, or gift-wrapping stations in high-traffic areas like schools, malls, and other community spaces.

Make sure you plan your Xmas fundraising ideas at least 3-4 months ahead of the holiday season. Your fundraising efforts should include recruiting staff and volunteers to help, setting clear goals, and checking everything off your event planning checklist.

Leading up to your Christmas-themed fundraisers, promote them through multiple channels, including social media, local media, and community boards. You could also partner with local restaurants or businesses for even more visibility!
