Frequently asked questions

Many clubs raise funds for everyday expenses through membership dues or by charging entry fees to events. Others partner with local businesses for sponsorships, and some apply for grant funding. But nearly every club will, at some point, raise money by rallying support from their community with the club fundraising ideas in this guide—the possibilities are endless!

There are no limits to the number of great fundraiser ideas for clubs. The most profitable ones will depend on the type of club and your community, but generally, large events like silent auctions and galas are a great way to raise a large amount of money all at once. Taking part in one-day giving events like Giving Tuesday can also be hugely successful.

If you need to raise funds for your club quickly, look for ideas for fundraising for a club that don’t require advanced planning and coordination. School clubs can organize pop-up bake sales, and community-based clubs might consider renting out their space to bring in some extra cash.
