Christmas Fundraising Ideas

Christmas Fundraising Ideas

The festive season leading up to Christmas is a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for school projects in the new year like new school equipment, a new school canopy, and more. With the excitement of the holidays, it’s the perfect time for children, parents, and the community to get involved in supporting good causes. Here are some of the best Christmas fundraising ideas for your school or preschool.

School Fete

A school fete is a traditional and effective way to raise funds. It offers numerous opportunities for everyone to contribute. Older students can run game or craft stalls, and you can sell festive treats like cakes, sweets, and drinks. Additionally, local businesses can be invited to set up stalls for a small fee, further boosting your fundraising efforts.

Father Christmas Visits

Having Father Christmas at your fete or event is a great way to engage younger children. You can ask for donations for children to visit and share their Christmas wishes. There’s no need to hire someone—one of your staff members, such as the headteacher, could easily step into the role and spread some festive cheer.

Raffle/Tombola

Raffles and tombola’s are always popular and can be run independently or as part of a larger event. You can sell tickets to students, parents, and families and host a fun event to announce the winners. Asking families or local businesses to donate prizes can increase the appeal and success of your raffle, making it a great way to boost your fundraising efforts.

Christmas Games Night

For a fun and competitive twist, consider hosting a Christmas-themed games night. Activities can include everything from “mince pie and spoon” races to festive quizzes. Charge a small entry fee and offer prizes for the winners. It’s not only a great way to raise funds but also a wonderful opportunity to capture moments of festive fun and spread positive news about your school.
