We already have our club ideas and an advisor in mind, but we need help with ideas for sponsors and fund raising. Any suggestions on what we should fund raise with? Are there companies in San Jose, California, that would willingly sponsor a new high school club that's meant to do community service and help with the budget for our school/peers? We also want to do something for the holidays but we need some help coming up with ideas for the events. Thanks!

Well, I have started a club in Middle school that only needed minimum funding but in 6th grade, we won a GATE competition and needed money to go to the State so we sent out letters to random companies in our area and most of the responses that included money were from banks. Also in middle school, we had school bake sales that raised a lot of money, enough to cover most of the team tee-shirts, so that might be an idea. Also, you could order some recycled newspaper pencils and sell those because they went fast when we sold them in 6th grade.

Look into the Kiwanis club, this sounds definitely like something they would be interested in doing or helping out with. Fund raising is a blast-- you can have mixers (if you charge a door fee they tend to raise a lot of money), a mardi-gras party (sell beads for a door fee) bake sales, car washes, sell t-shirts, pretty much anything. Good luck!
