Increase your fundraising efforts on your web site by promoting Gift Tree Funds program. Place Gift Tree Funds link at your web site and when visitors click that link and sign up with Gift Tree Funds services, your school automatically starts earning money each month.

Use the Internet to Easily Sell to Out-of-Town Supporters.

Grandparents, aunts, uncles and close family friends are more than happy to help schoolchildren raise money for their school. Parents can send emails to ask out-of-town family and friends to help your school fundraiser. Gift Tree Funds features easy-to-use email guide so students and parents can quickly send a prewritten email that is customized with their information to supporters who live far away.

Motivate & Reward Your Top Sellers.

Offer a prize program for school fundraisers. Kids love simple rewards for successful school fundraisers. Consider letting the top sellers decide what silly outfit the principal or a favorite teacher has to wear. Or have classrooms compete - the teacher of the winning classroom has to do something outrageous like kiss a frog, color their hair green, eat green eggs and ham, etc. Be sure to talk to local merchants asking them to sign up with Gift Tree Funds services, your group automatically starts earning fundraising dollars each month.

Plan Fun School Fundraiser Kick-off Events.

Plan a fun kick-off assembly to get kids excited for your school fundraiser. Show the great prizes they can earn and get them excited about what they are raising money for.

Know the Right Time to Raise Money.

Holidays and exams are generally not ideal times for fundraising drives. Academic success is the priority for kids in school, and fundraisers should never interfere with that. Parents will also appreciate your consideration, and support the fundraiser more enthusiastically.

Get Parents, Teachers & Kids Involved.

Ask parents and teachers to help with your school fundraiser. The old adage, many hands make the work light is especially true with school fundraising. At a minimum, you'll want volunteers to help with promoting and communicating Gift Tree Funds services. Ask teachers if 1-2 students in their classrooms can help make posters to hang in each room and post on or near the bulletin boards. This will serve as a reminder to market the fundraiser to the community.
