In-Person Fundraising Ideas

1. Have a can on your desk at work and encourage colleagues to toss in spare change.
2. Work with your HR department to have a dress down day at work, where colleagues pay $10 to wear jeans and the money goes to your fundraising total.
3. Participate in a 5K, bike ride, or marathon and raise funds for your Bpeace page (We can send you a sample email.)
4. Are you a yoga teacher? Teach a class to benefit Bpeace!
5. Do you like to spin? Tell your friends you’ll spin one night to raise funds to create a job.
6. Hold a cocktail party at a local bar. Many will allow guest bartenders to keep their tips for a cause or others will negotiate open bar covers as a fundraiser.
7. Encourage a local establishment to have a “Bpeace Signature Drink” one evening and the revenue from that drink is donated to your Bpeace One Million Jobs team.
8. Ask for small donations to Bpeace in lieu of birthday presents or another special occasion.
9. Get back to your roots: Remember when hosting a car wash or bake sale was the fundraising method of choice for elementary schools and sports teams!?
10. Are you a craftsman or artist? How about holding a sale benefiting Bpeace?
11. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Have a yard sale or Ebay sale and those plaid pants you wore 4 Halloweens ago can put you on your way to your $1,000 goal!
12. Put a platter of home-baked cookies on your desk and sell them for $2 each or more!
13. Host a dinner and a movie at your home. Show the 55-minute documentary on our Afghan Associates—THREAD—shown on the documentary channel and at U.S. and European film festivals. You make dinner. Charge $10 - $20.
14. Sell friends boxes of Bpeace greeting cards at $15/box. To you they are free. Limited number of boxes available. Contact lhass@bpeace.org if you are interested.
