The winter brings cold, ice, and barren trees, but it also brings opportunities to help people who may be struggling. To give you some options, here are four interesting fundraising ideas for winter.
A Snowman Building Competition
Where there is snow, there are opportunities to build snowmen. Building a snowman is a fun activity that allows people to get creative, making it an interesting fundraising idea for winter.
A friendly competition of building the best snowman with an entry fee will interest people and raise money quickly. Offering a prize, gift card, or winter-related gift will incentivize more people to join and do their best.
The Polar Bear Plunge
The Polar Bear Plunge is a worldwide winter event where large groups of people briefly rush into a cold body of water. This event is daunting fun and is normally held in honor of a charity.
Many people wish to participate to prove their bravery or show their support for the charitable cause. The event only requires an entry fee and an accessible cold body of water, which will be easy to find in the winter.
A Community Snowball Fight
Snowball fights bring back each participant’s inner child and are fun for all. Snowball fights are a great way to get active and foster some friendly competition that will attract tons of community members.
You can hold a snowball fight on any open field where the public may gather. When everyone has paid their admission fee, split the participants into teams and let the fun begin. You could also sell concessions afterward to generate more funds for your chosen charity.
Bake Sale With Hot Chocolate
The cold temperatures of winter make us want something warm to eat and drink to banish the chill from our bodies. Holding a winter bake sale that sells warm delicacies such as warm cookies with a side of hot chocolate will draw people in—especially if it’s for a good cause.
People will enjoy the delicious taste of these snacks and feel delighted to help a good cause. For best results, hold the bake sale in a high-traffic public space, such as a public college campus.
Whether you want to organize a fundraiser to support a local humane society, an organization that provides healthcare assistance, or a charity that helps veterans, you can do so in winter. These four interesting fundraising ideas will make winter more fun and help you raise funds for a great cause.
