College Club Fundraising Ideas

Whether they're academic organizations, fraternities and sororities, or activism groups, college clubs need money to make their activities possible. While it's easy to hold a candy sale or car wash, a little creativity can go a long way in raising the money you need for an upcoming trip or a local cause. Coming up with fundraising activities that get the whole campus involved can spread awareness about your club while helping you meet your financial needs.
  1. Time for a Tournament

    • Putting on a campus-wide tournament related to your organization can get a variety of students who share a common interest together, drawing enthusiasm and money toward your group. If you're an intramural bowling club, for example, you might hold a bowling tournament at a local alley, while an organization for computer sciences majors might put on a video game tournament in the campus gym or student union. Charge an entry fee for individuals or groups to enter the tournament, or invite students to pay admission to watch the event.

    Rock for a Cause

    • Tap into your fellow students' love of live rock music by organizing a battle of the bands to raise money for your club's events, an awareness organization, or a local charity that aligns with your goals. Bands and solo musicians from your campus can pay an entry fee to play, and you can also charge admission from students who attend. To gain attention from students, you could recruit some popular professors to serve as celebrity judges. Have each of your entrants prepare a statement in support of your club's cause to spread awareness among your audience.

    Food for Funds

    • Give students a break from your campus's cafeteria food by putting on a pancake breakfast, spaghetti dinner or pizza sale. If your organization has talented cooks, let their talents shine by preparing a meal complete with a main course, side dishes and desserts. Invite the campus as well as the local community to come, and charge admission. You can also have your club members wait tables at the event or serve food to patrons. To spread awareness about your group, have a couple of club members run an information table with pamphlets and flyers about your upcoming events or the cause you're promoting.

    A Hair-Raising Fundraiser

    • The entertaining spectacle of watching students and professors shave their heads can draw interest from the campus, as well as donations for a cause or event. Ask high-profile students or well-liked professors who are known for their long hair or beards to agree to shave it off at a public event, provided that the club meets its fundraising goals. You might establish different donation objectives for the participants, such as having a higher goal for female participants or professors. If you meet your goal, invite the campus to the gym to watch the volunteers have their heads shaved.
