supplies, or have them donated by a
local store, and place them outside
together with hard-boiled uncolored

FLOWER BULB
SALE

amongst the most Earth-friendly
fundraisers out there and it’s a great
alternative to trinkets, gift items,
wrapping paper or candle
fundraisers

sales team
 By using bulb catalogs your team takes
orders from family, friends, and
acquaintances, etc

to you and you will, in turn, have to
distribute them through your sales
team to all the buyers

GARDENING
CLASS

21. Learning and applying gardening
skills also adds financial benefits to
individuals and communities

22.  Choose the right space for your
gardening class. Ideally, pick a garden
center or a local community garden
 Choose a weekend day so that more
people can participate, and make the
class 2-3 hours long to cover the very
basics of gardening
 Charge a fee ($30-$50 is reasonable),
and make sure the cost of all the seeds,
soil, and tools is covered

23. 7
EARTH DAY
CLEANUP

24. Each volunteer gets a roll of garbage
bags, a pair of gloves, and a shovel
or garbage pick, and performs a
walking clean-up of the designated
area

25.  Set a date and time for your clean up
event (ideally the weekend of Earth
Day)
 Choose a location. Good choices for
clean-up areas are parks, riverbanks,
and streams, schools, ditches, vacant
lots, etc
 It works best if your overview specifies
a suggested range for donations. Don’t
forget to create a pledge sheet, online
or offline

popular school and church fundraising
ideas, you are not limited to that alone,
especially if you partner with a

crew of dedicated volunteers ready to
help out

or mothers and their families –
depending on the goal and the feel of
your fundraiser
