If you locally advertise shops and companys will donate items that you can use to be auctioned off, auctions are always a great fundraiser. =] x

My technique has traditionally been to delegate it to someone else.

Community Foundations, Private Foundations, corporate giving programs and churches. Volunteers can help too. Lots of resources for community organizations to raise funds listed on this webpage http://www.adviceandinfo.com/funding.html

Extortion. Well, it's not necessarily the right way.

I happen to like benefit dances.

I do a lot of work with a non-profit organisation, but I'm not involved in the fund raising. If I were to ask someone, I think Stableboy (Here on Answerbag) could point you in the right direction.

We formed a committee to raise funds to build a new public toilet in town. Our target was $10,000 (the rest of the funding would come from the Shire Council).We ran a dance and auction which was very successful. We ran raffles one after the other for three years. We had a huge poster in a shop window drawn up like a brick wall, and 'sold' the bricks (min $1) & put people's names & donation on it. Even kids were donating their pocket money so they could get their name on a brick! I raffled myself to do the winner's ironing for a month. We raised the $10,000 in just under three years, and the building was finished just before Christmas.
