Planning a preschool fundraiser isn’t as easy as it seems. It’s a given that parents will be doing all of the work involved, but the project used be one that young children can be involved in and, more importantly understand what the fundraiser is all about. Like any other fundraiser, a cause should be determined as to how the money will be used. It might be for a field trip for the children or for a computer for the classroom. Whatever the reason, the children should have a clear understanding about what fundraising is, and how it will help the school raise money for something that is really needed.
Some fund raising ideas for preschool children include a fundraising breakfast, lunch or dinner event at the school. Parents can prepare potluck dishes and moneys can be raised through an auction and raffles. Book sales are another good preschool fundraiser. Parents can donate books and a day can be set aside for the sale. Organizing a “rubber duck race” is also a fun idea for preschoolers. All you need for this event is numbered rubber ducks. Sell tickets to supporters that are numbered as well. Publicize the event in your local newspaper and sent home flyers with the children. The “race” takes place on any body of water – small stream or pond. The first duck to cross the finish line wins a prize. The more tickets sold – the more money raised!
