Ok, my youth group and I are going to New York City to help with the homeless ministry for our annual Spring Break Trip. I love mission trips with a passion and this is a lifetime experience. But, the problem is is that I have no clue how to raise $642 by March. I need ANY fundraiser ideas please!
My church has already paid off more than $300 off of the 30 participants that are going. And we already had our 2 fundraisers to help toward the trip. So, the remaining money is left up to us.
oh, i meant $300 off of each participant
There are many companies that have fundraising products that you can sell. Most don’t require any upfront cost to you or the organization. For example, my friend’s son recently did a candle fundraiser to earn some money for a school trip.
He was supplied with free order forms and went to friends, neighbors and family and took orders and payment for the candles. Then he turned in the order and paid a lower price for the candles than what he sold them for, keeping the difference as his fundraising profit. If you are interested in more information, I included a link to the program he used.

1) Keep and have family and friends keep all of your/their change at the end of the day.
2) Sell something (candy, etc)
3) Bible radiationon have people sponsor a certain number of cents a verse.
4) Have your youth group offer light landscaping services for pay.
5) car washes
6) write to family and friends.

Your username is ‘soccer crazy’.
Make a soccer game that is open to the public between you and your friends. Open it to the public and explain that it is for a good cause. You and your friends should spread the word.
Put the cost cheap – like 5 bucks a ticket, and buy some food to sell at the game. Try to get as many fans as you can, and set a goal to how much you want to raise and make it public. At the game, announce that you want to raise the extra bit of money you need to reach your goal, and raffle off something that you previously got from a sponsor you spoke to.
Good luck!

Why isn’t your youth group doing something as a group to help raise the money? You guys could do bake sales, pizza sales (where you guys take orders for pizza and then make them), make a calendar, create a cookbook…
To make up the difference, you can also ask people in your neighborhood if they need yard work or other work done around the house that they can pay you a few bucks for.
There’s no reason why you guys couldn’t raise that much money by March, especially working together.

where are you starting from?
A lot of fast food places will give a portion of the proceeds on a certain sponsored night – you put the work into advertising it and maybe helping out; it depends on the place.
can you do a breakfast or dinner after services at your church?
it is probably too cold for a car wash – but maybe you can "rent" the youth group to do yard work or snow shoveling or something similar. If it was before Christmas, I would suggest sponsoring a "parent’s night out" – the youth group babysits at the church and allows the parents to go shopping or out to eat or something.
Hope this helps.
