College Fundraiser

A college fundraiser has many advantages over fundraisers that involve younger age groups. The core reason for having a fundraiser is basically the same as other school groups and that is to raise money for clubs, athletic programs and other groups that are not included in the college's annual budget.

Planning for a college fundraiser is one area that differs from other age groups. There are many college fundraiser ideas that can't be used by younger age groups that will bring in the much needed funding faster than other projects.

For instance, one college fundraiser that many campuses use is a battle of the bands competition. Local community and campus bands sign up to compete in the band, tickets are sold to the community and refreshments are sold to bring in added funds. If a prize is offered, the project can incorporate an entry fee for competing and use the funds from that as prize money.

Campus students and community members will enjoy a day of music and fun times as the project is raking in the money. The fees for serving beer and other refreshments can be paid out of the profits. This should not be a concern since having the refreshments will bring more money in to the project than if they were not served. Most campuses will allow these types of fundraisers as long as proper rules and guidelines are followed.

Another college fundraiser that is easier to organize and can generate funds quickly is a Fun Pasta project. Fun Pasta is a pasta product that offers more than two hundred different shaped pastas, pasta kits for making chili, soups and pasta salad and pasta gift sets all at price points from $6.50 to $11.00. This makes it the ideal fundraiser.

Fun Pasta is an ideal fundraiser simply due to being a product that everyone uses and inexpensive enough for customers to purchase more than one item. It is the perfect college fundraiser because it can also be completed using technology. College students don't have time to canvass neighborhoods selling products, they have to study. Fun Pasta takes this into consideration and allows sales to be made using electronic brochures and a fully customizable email that can be sent to friends and family in one mass email blast.

As if using an email blast to garner orders weren't enough, Fun Pasta also makes it possible for orders to be placed directly with the company online and the school will still get the credit. Top it off with drop shipping directly to the recipient and this is one college fundraiser that is sure to succeed and be a hit with the group as well.

Using Fun Pasta as a college fundraiser can be fun, particularly if the college happens to be one that has a collegiate pasta salad in the Fun Pasta inventory. There are 25 collegiate pasta salads available. These make great marketing tools and a way to get others on campus involved and excited about purchasing Fun Pasta. If the school isn't in the collegiate pasta salad group, a marketing campaign can still be built using one of Fun Pasta’s unique shapes, such as the sports shaped pastas. This is one product that will basically sell itself while the group is collecting the funds.

Often, finding ideas for a college fundraiser is simply easier that finding ideas for younger students. College students are better able to self-manage their projects and are also old enough to plan and organize events geared towards more adult audiences. The ideas for college fundraisers are limited only by imagination and the school's rules.
