Green Fundraising Ideas for Schools

Posted On: Feb 01, 10

Many schools continue to profit from healthy and environmentally friendly fundraising activities. In January, we compiled a list of some of our favorite ideas and passed them on to Hawai’i school administrators and PCNC staff. Here’s what one enthusiastic school staff had to say, “I just received your flyer in the mail today on different ideas on ‘green’ fundraising.  Thank you very much for considering our school and sending this very informative flyer to us…I hope that there will be some programs to use the different ideas you have in the flyer as they are all excellent ideas.”

Art auctions are a a fun and creative way to raise funds! This month, Sunset Beach Elementary School is having their 1st annual Celebrating the Arts Day and Auction. Parent and community volunteers are organizing this event to raise funds for the Art and Music programs for the school. Attendees will enjoy an evening of live music, food & drinks, silent & live auction, and raffle. In conjunction with the auction, students of Sunset Beach Elementary will be enriched by the visual art of local artists who will visit each class and lead an art project. The Art Day and Auction is on Friday, 2.26 from 6-10 pm at Waimea Valley Pikake Pavilion, $10 at the door. For more info, or if you’d like to make a donation, please call 638-8777.

Another fundraising idea worth mentioning is the Honu Guide. The Honu Guide features well written articles on sustainability issues in Hawaii, and has a coupon book and resource directory that links people to green goods, services and organizations. Organizations, including schools can sell the guide to raise funds.
