Hey Everyone!

I am a teacher at a small private school. I need fundraiser ideas that are not door to door cookie dough or wrapping paper sales. 

We are offering different tiers of sponsorships that have perks to the gifting. Any suggestions for perks to be given as sponsorships are committed to? We are already giving prefered seats, VIP backstage passes for younger students... 

 What has worked for your schools? 

ALSO I would love to start a Fine Arts Booster Club does anyone have wisdom and encouragement for this daunting task.

Thank you all! I glean so much from everyone's posts!!! Grateful for the community!!!!

Consider improv competitions like TheatreSports.  They cost nothing, require very little time, are high energy and you can charge participants (like they do in running races) as well as audience  And yeah, sell baked goods or candy/soda at intermission  

As for Boosters, there's a great bit about that - as well as an annual speech to them to avoid problems down the road - in Real-World Theatre Education (https://rwte.educationalstages.net) 

I've had wonderful Booster groups for decades  Get in touch! https://cme.sh/ChatWithChip

 The best fund raisers put your talents out there. How about workshops for younger kids? Many possibilities!
