my cheer team is doing a cart weal a thon. you get sponcers to give you money . (just friends and family) your team will do cart weals for a few hours stright one person has to be doing a cart weal all the time. its tons of fun.

you can also do bottle drives. just go door to door sayin your team is doing a bottle drive and collect pop bottles and return them for the money

A car wash is always good because you can do it at a local Denny's or McDonald's. But the trick is to sale pre-sale tickets, because even if people don't show up you have the money up front.
You can also do a basket of of items that people like and sale the tickets and then do a raffle to pick the winner.
Good Luck !!

First of all, congrats on getting your fundraising started! Raising support for a worthy cause can be super rewarding. But obviously, if you're not an official non-profit, it can be really tricky finding a good way to build support for your cause.

One route you might want to consider: setting up a homepage for your group on a fundraising website. Having a group homepage online makes organizing and fundraising infinitely easier ... And though the majority of fundraising sites require you have official non-profit status, many good ones only require that you are a group - and will give you plenty of the tools you need.

For example, one good site is Meet Up (www.meetup.com), who allow you to fundraise directly to your account, and register a group without having an official non-profit status - and they cover groups around the world, while giving you some tools to do event management. But the tools they offer are a little limited outside of fundraising.

Another good option would be Empowered.org (www.empowered.org), a platform that also helps small groups fundraise and organize (regardless of non-profit status). They also work for international groups - and offer a fair amount of useful tools, like the ability to organize your group or to create volunteer activities and fundraising campaigns for more targeted ways to raise support.

Or you could always try to send up your own PayPal account to link to you directly to help you fundraise, but this is a little trickier and a bit inflexible.

Good luck getting started moving forward! Hope that helped.
