Fundraising Ideas
You have the power to make a difference. No matter what your experience, you can help raise money for current Adopt-A-Rainforest projects through fundraising drives and events. In addition to raising desperately needed funds, your efforts help generate interest in the cause of rainforest conservation. Here are a few guidelines to help you plan your fundraising event:
- Choose one or more Adopt-A-Rainforest projects to support.
- Set a goal for how much money you'd like to raise.
- Get your friends, classmates and group members to help.
- Decide how much time you want to spend on the fundraising activity or event.
- Choose appropriate fundraising activities and events for your community.
- Figure out if you can obtain donations of materials and sale items or if you need to buy things.
- Think about various ways to publicize your fundraising event (e.g., posters, flyers, announcements in local newspapers, etc.).
- Choose and collect fundraising and educational support materials.
- See how others have made a difference.
- Use your imagination, and don't forget to have a good time!
Remember, your greatest resources are your creativity and energy. Think positively, have fun and go for it! You can take pride in the fact that you helped save a very special place on our planet...the rainforest.
