With rooms full of adults
with disposable income, the office is one of the best places to
organize a simple fundraiser to benefit a local nonprofit. At the
same time, fundraising events in the office is a great way to build
camaraderie among co-workers, especially between departments that do
not interact with each other often. With that in mind, here are a few
fundraising ideas you can try out in your office:
Poker Tournament
Do co-workers brag about
being the next Phil Ivey or Liv Boeree? Test everyone’s poker chops
by organizing a poker tournament for the company. Consider setting a
$100-$500 buy in, with the overall champion winning half the
collection while the other half is donated to a nonprofit the office
supports.
“Ducky
Tie” Contest
Inspired
by an episode from “How
I Met Your Mother”,
this idea involves having employees design silly neckties. The
entries are then displayed in a central area for voting. Each vote
costs a dollar. Once a winner has been determined, a manager or
executive must wear the tie for a month.
Match It Challenge
Do you need an extra shot
of inspiration? Ask an executive if the company is willing to match
whatever amount you and your co-workers raise. Needless to say, this
is a fantastic way to raise a large amount of money quickly.
