Club Fundraising Ideas
From sporting teams to craft circles, fundraising is a very popular activity for clubs. Find out how to raise funds for your club or a charity of your club’s choosing with these great club fundraising ideas.
“Bucket Collection” Fundraiser
Because you have lots of club members at your disposal, a bucket collection is an excellent way to fundraise. By placing your club members in areas of high foot-traffic, you can ask for donations from hundreds of people per hour.
Consider offering an additional service, such as bagging groceries or carrying parcels, in exchange for a donation. This is often better received than simply asking for a donation. Also, be sure to have literature on hand that will help explain what your club is doing and how the money you’re raising will help your cause.
Hold a Fundraising Party
With the help of your club members, a fundraising party can be a great way to make money for your special cause. Here are some popular party-themed fundraising ideas:
- Charity dance
- Charity dinner or wine tasting
- Coffee morning
- Fancy dress party
- Christmas or Halloween party
Be sure to plan well in advance of the date and assign tasks to each member of your club. Make sure everyone has a role in your club’s fundraising success.
Club Fundraising Events with a Theme
Working your fundraising around your club’s theme is an excellent way to draw attention to your group and your charitable cause at the same time.
There are lots of themed events a club can do to fundraise. For example, a choir or dance group could perform in the town centre in exchange for donations; also, a football club could hold a charity match or football clinic for kids and teenagers. Clubs can also knit, bake, garden or hold a quiz night to raise money.
Whatever you do, use it to bring in donations for your cause. Your fundraising success will surely follow!

Bag packing is a great idea but unfortunately unless you a registered charity supermarkets won’t accommodate you. For a sports club like ours this is a non-starter!
That surprises me. Our local supermarkets (Asda and Morrisons) both have sports clubs doing bag packing all the time. How odd!
My local football clubs just done bag packing in our local tesco
have done bag packing myself with local cricket club at Asda, Morrisons and 2 garden centres. Only requirement at one was copy of public indemnity insurance which as a sports club you should have
Our football team do bag packs all the time, at Asda and Wilkinsons, dont have to have a charity or insurance. Just a few long waiting list and the store take a cut of all takings usually about 15%.

Hey, My son has started playing for a local football team who run off subs alone (2.50 per player per week), the club was started to get kids off the streets has there was nothing for them, unfortunately when it comes to the away games we rely on the parents to transport the children and this is becoming a problem, and cant fit all the payers in, hence some poor kids are being left behind or were forfeiting points as we cant get a team there, so im looking at ways to maybe fundraise for a mini bus so i imagine this is going to take a lot of doing, im new tot he area also so i dont know the other parents to get them onside, so im probably going to be doing this alone? Thanks guys
Hi, I am Craig, Co-head of KAFH (Kettering Amateur Fossil Hunters)and we run a club online, getting together for fossil hunts etc. We are looking at trying to raise some money to help fund the cost of providing safety equipment etc to the children that attend these hunts. Is there any rules and regulations for fundraising of this type also any ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks Craig
