Lets Raise Some Mutual Funds

By Debra Edwards


You can make money from anything these days. Buckle down and start brainstorming, a way to collect money for mutual funds or charity. But in a fun, fresh and exciting way that will get people opening their wallets and purses. Your imagination is the only limit, be brave and take it with fun.

Reading is past time that is enjoyed by many, a lot of people have a book that they have read a countless amount of time and are willing to donate those. Think about having a book sale. Ask your friends and family to look around their homes for things they no longer use that could be sold. Asking different people will ensure a variety of genres and things that can be sold alongside the books

An idea is to put the things you no longer want or need in a washing basket or box. Boxes from everyones respective spring clean can then be brought together and a jumble sale created. Invite neighbors and the community to visit your market, all for a good cause.

A book and jumble sale are relatively easy to create, as they use things you already have in your house but if you really want to go the extra mile, why not roll up your sleeves, get some friends, and with buckets and ample soap and water, hold a neighborhood car wash. This idea is always welcome as most people are welcome to the idea of an affordable car clean-up. Another opportunity is host a food stall or tea garden on site to raise extra money while neighbors wait for their cars to get cleaned.

No dislikes get physical for a good cause. Get people moving their legs and bodies with a fun run (color run), in which participants are sponsored for the distance traveled. Opt for getting the help of a local gym as this will generate more support and participants.

Dog walking is a good way for people to have fun, encourage participants to bring their dogs along for a fee. Maybe throw some fun into the mix by having a theme and a best-dressed dog competition, or if you love it an agility dog challenge.

Pets are peoples weakness. Why not use this for more fun. Host a pet show, in which you invite your community to register their pets for a fee, then give them an opportunity to show off their pet, you could also have a collection plate circulating during the show.

You can ask stores to support your charity drive and place the tin near to their check-out counter or even get friends and family to take along a tin to either school or work. Raising money for charity purpose should be a fun experience and one which brings everyone together to create memories which will last long after the cheque has been handed over to your chosen charity.
