College Campus Fundraising

Helping people sure feels great, but as a college student, you probably don’t have the time to organize elaborate fundraising events. After all, there’s only so many hours in a day for your studies and extracurricular activities (or maybe even a part-time job). Fortunately, we have a few simple ideas that will help you raise money for the causes you believe in:

Mini-Concerts

There are many aspiring rock bands on campus, and you can invite a few of them to play a mini-benefit concert. Ring up your favorite local café and ask them if they’re willing to host the event. You can charge the audience an entrance fee, which you will then donate to charity.

Bachelor/Bachelorette Auctions

If you belong to a fraternity or sorority, ask your most eligible members if they’re willing to participate in a bachelor/bachelorette auction. As the name implies, they’ll go on a once-in-a-lifetime date with the person who places the highest bid during the auction period.

Sell Campus Memorabilia

Do you have campus merchandise just laying around in your dorm room? Then we have good news for you: many people collect such items as memorabilia! You can list them on the eBay Giving Works program and donate part or all of the proceeds to one of our partner non-profits.
