MICHIGAN DISTRICT OF KEY CLUB
MAY FUNDRAISING IDEAS
SUMMER CAR WASH OUTING
Why it works: Classic ⟶ easy to organize, and people love supporting students. It does offer people a service as well, so they may be more inclined to donate. Bonus: Offer tiered pricing (basic wash vs. deluxe) ⟶ If, of course, you have the right
materials.
SUMMER RAFFLE OR GIVEAWAY
*ONLY DO IF YOUR SCHOOL ALLOWS*
Why it works: Simply gather donations from local businesses (gift cards, merchandise) and sell raffle tickets online or at events to members, the general public, families of members, etc.
SPECIFICALLY FOR KCI PARTNERS
SUMMER BOTTLE/CAN DRIVES
Why it works: Ask members to donate bottles and cans (recycle!) in which all proceeds go to the desired partner of choice, such as the Thirst Project, UNICEF, Erika’s Lighthouse, or Schoolhouse.
GET IN CONTACT WITH ONE OF THE 4 KCI PREFERRED CHARITIES
After you touch base, set up a google meeting with this person and your club. If club members are more informed/feel inspired, they may feel more desire to donate.
