My choir and I need to pay for our uniforms they are about 98 dollars each and many of us can’t afford that on top of other expenses we need some good fundraising ideas to get some cash fast. There are five of us.

Car washes, bake sales, the old standbys you could do a dog wash too!
A combo dog and car wash! End of summer, everyone wants a clean car and a clean dog. haha

Well, if you lived where there was some good hunting, you could set up a bird cleaning service.

Hunters around here pay up to $10 per bird to have them cleaned, packaged and frozen. And a good cleaner can get 5–10 pheasant or duck cleaned in an hour.

Raffle (or other “event”) – assuming you have something to raffle off;
Donations – just asking for donations is often enough if people believe in the cause;
I had a neighbor once who did a “fall cleaning” event – he offered to clean the leaves out of gutters for everyone in the neighborhood for donations (whatever you could afford) for a charity he was associated with.

The problem is i dont live anywere like that and none of us know how to clean anything. Plus we are all girls and many of us are kind of squimish.

A service thing may work but like i said we are all girls and may not be able to just go door to door.

Parents?
If you are little girls I assume with little you mean young, then could/should you parents or caretakers take care of it?

we are highschool girls and some of our parents will cover our costs but there are a few of us that need to cover the costs ourselves

Our choir did an annual carwash to help pay for trips. The carwash was sponsored (5–25cents per sponsor per car wash) and we asked for donations from each driver (most people gave $5–15 for the car wash).

We’d raise a couple thousand dollars on 200–250 car washes.

If you have a local Farmer’s Market or a mall, talk to the management about where your choir members could gather and sing for donations. Kids do that around here for all sorts of groups. It’s good performance practice too. :-)

Thanks Blueroses we were actually trying to figure out a way to sing for money but the ones they were coming up with were not very good or safe but that’s a really great one I’ll run it by them

Another idea, if it’s a school choir… Ask at the office if you can sell singing telegrams. People
can buy them for each other and you can deliver them during lunch periods or homeroom.

Or, when I was in Drama club, we raised money selling “Secret Kisses”. Glue a hershey kiss to a red heart cutout and people pay $1 to write their crush’s name on one and you deliver them.

First thought is organise a quiz night. Or just be blatant and set up a fundraising webpage and post flyers through doors telling people of your problem and what they can do to help. Or approach local businesses and see if any would want to sponsor the team.

Make T-shirts. On just plain white or black Hanes shirts, design something, possibly your school/choir logo, and find someone who can print on it. It’s pretty cheap and you can sell them for more than double.
