Breakfast is one of the simplest to prepare, least expensive meals that can be easily served to large or small groups alike.  Here, we’ll explore some great breakfast fundraising ideas that can benefit your not-for-profit or charitable organization.

Pancakes Galore

Set up a local pancake breakfast.  You can purchase pancake mix cheaply and even the most novice chef can cook batches and batches for your event.  Add some syrup and butter to the mix and you have a breakfast that everyone will enjoy.  Get a few people to donate their time and cooking skills and find a place to set up your pancake fest.  Attendees make a donation to enjoy a delicious, buffet-style breakfast. 

Ladies’ Brunch or Tea Party

Gather up your female friends and create a lovely brunch.  During this brunch, you can offer jewelry or candles for sale, all of which you can purchase below wholesale by signing up free at our Charitable-auctions.com website.  Explain to them that proceeds go to support your charity and are for a good cause.

Breakfast Gift Baskets Auction

At IDonateToCharity.org, you can set up an auction for a beautiful breakfast gift basket, with fresh bagels, cream cheese, pastries, gourmet coffee, and fresh fruit to a lucky winner.  This makes a wonderful gift idea as well.  You can even offer to attach a gift card and the auction winner can have it delivered to a loved one as a surprise. 

Free Breakfast for a Week

Create an auction for one lucky donator to win free breakfast for one week.  Talk to local restaurants that serve breakfast to see if they will donate free breakfasts in exchange for publicity or give the winner a menu they can select from and make the breakfasts for them, delivered to their door each morning.

Brunch with a Punch

Charge patrons a small fee to participate in a brunch with simple, fun contests that will liven up their day.  You can offer bagels, pastries, coffee, punch, and/or other beverages and items to eat while attendees compete in easy games, like a bagel toss where contestants wear a blindfold and try to toss a bagel into a punch bowl.  Whoever lands it wins a prize.  Or have a “guess how many peanuts are in the jar” contest or something similar.  You could also play musical chairs or other games where contestants can win small prizes. 

No matter what you decide to do for your breakfast fundraising ideas, make sure you have fun with it.  You can market your event with straightforward, attractive flyers, postcards, or local advertisements encouraging people to attend your charitable event and donate to a worthwhile cause. Keep it simple, but don’t be afraid to be imaginative and creative with your ideas.
