Valentine’s Day fundraising ideas

The most popular Valentine's Day fundraisers include Valentine's Day candy grams at high schools, sweetheart dances or parties, and bake sales. Each of these ideas is festive, fun, and incredibly sweet!

Dedicating an entire week to your February fundraiser ideas is a great opportunity to engage supporters and boost your fundraising efforts. Each day can feature a specific spirit-week idea related to Valentine's Day (e.g., Monday cooking class, Tuesday bake sale, etc.).

Flower or chocolate sales and Valentine's Day candy grams consistently remain among the most profitable Valentine's Day fundraising ideas. These types of fundraisers are usually inexpensive to host and tend to be very popular, too.

To make your event even more cost effective, try partnering with a local restaurant for donated baked goods or selling flowers donated by a local florist.

Start planning your Valentine's Day fundraiser at least 4-6 weeks in advance. This allows adequate time for organizing and promoting your event. 

During the planning process, you will need to set specific fundraising goals, recruit volunteers, order supplies, and develop a marketing strategy, such as promoting the event through social media, local news outlets, or school newsletters.
