Fund–raising Ideas
Moderate
Program: Community Day

Chapter: Gamma Pi Chapter at St. Cloud State University, MN
Level: Moderate
Materials:
• Table or booth
• Coupon books (provided by a retail store)
• Checklist or sign-up sheet to take customers’ contact information
• KDP promotional flyers

How To:
1. Ask an area business to host the event and to provide the coupon books.
2. Determine the price of the coupon books and profits for the fund-raiser.
3. Set a fund-raising goal, either the amount of profit or number of books sold.
4. Establish time slots for members to volunteer.
5. Create flyers to advertise the event and promote the chapter; mail and post throughout the community.
6. Complete the event by having members sell the coupon books and promote the chapter during their designated time slots.

Add a Twist:
• Ask businesses for donations if they are unable to offer the coupon books.
• Have a chapter rally to promote the fund-raiser goals.
• Obtain contact information for customers purchasing the books, and then advertise the chapter’s results of the event and how the profits were used to benefit the local community or teachers.

Additional Details:
When the Gamma Pi Chapter sells 25 coupon books at $5 each, the chapter gets the total profit. The chapter receives a percentage of the store’s sales during the time slots if members sell more than that amount.
