Company Fundraising Ideas Explores Fun Ideas For Company Fundraisers

Company Bowling Tournament
Employees set up bowling teams and compete with one another at a bowling tournament.  Set pledges for every strike made, for winning teams, pins knocked down, and so forth.  They can also volunteer to simply make a one time donation.  Employees from the company can pledge to donate whatever amount they wish based on how you’ve set up the event.  Offer a fun prize to the winning team and collect donations and pledges afterwards or on a specific day at work.  Contact your local bowling alley to set up a time and date for the tournament.

Company Picnic and Raffle

Hold a company picnic.  Everyone can bring in one item for the picnic to create a great, varied meal in which everyone can partake.  During the picnic, employees and their families can purchase raffle tickets to try to win fun prizes.  You can also set up fun events, like relay races, an egg toss, pie-eating contests, or other activities to increase participation and make it a great time for all.

Funniest Photo Contest

One company fundraising ideas to break the ice is to have your employees bring in their most hilarious photos of themselves to participate in a humorous photo contest.  You can place each photo on a bulletin board in the lunchroom with a collection can under each one.  Others can vote on their favorite photo by placing a donation in the can.  At the end of each day, collect and tally donations.  Announce who’s in the lead and get people motivated.  At the end of the event, add up the totals and announce the winner, who’ll receive a special plaque, trophy, or other amusing prize.

Scratch Cards

You can present pre-made scratch cards to employees.  Many fundraising companies offer these at low costs that you can use to raise money for your organization.  On each card, there is a series of spots to scratch off.  Under each spot is a small dollar amount.  Ask employees to scratch off two spaces on the card and donate that amount to your fundraiser.

Treasure Hunt

Set up an intriguing treasure hunt within the company.  Employees participate by paying an entry fee so they can join in on the excitement.  Find a location where you can do the event, and bury coins, small items, and other “treasures” that employees and their families can hunt for.  There are several variations to this type of theme that don’t require burying items or finding an appropriate location, such a scavenger hunts, creating puzzles to solve, and so forth.  Be creative!

Balloon Pop Off

You can use the company cafeteria or other location for this event.  Fill up the room with balloons.  Put a slip in each balloon stating a prize the person wins for popping that balloon.  Employees can donate small prizes ahead of time or you can purchase fun items at wholesale or party goods stores.  Charge a $10 participation fee and treat is as a race where you blow a horn and let them go at it, popping as many balloons as they can get their hands on.  Alternatively, charge a small fee per balloon they want to pop.  This is a great one to invite the family, too, as well, and a real winner with the kids.

Company Dance

One company fundraising ideas you can do is hold a company dance one weekend evening in the cafeteria or other appropriate space.  Charge a small ticket fee at the door.  You can also offer drinks and snacks they can purchase while they’re there.  Employees can invite their families to attend.  On the other hand, you can make it an adult only event and have an area set up where they can leave their children with an onsite volunteer group of babysitters who’ll watch their kids while they enjoy an entertaining night out. 

These are just a few of hundreds or even thousands of possibilities for your next company fundraiser.  Remember to always keep it exciting and engaging for employees so they’ll be inspired to participate and donate.
