SELL RAFFLE TICKETS
When it comes to profitable fundraising, raffles are a must. Not only are they easy to run on their own, they can also be seamlessly incorporated into other fundraising activities as a cash-generating add-on.
Raffles are inexpensive, which is why people are always willing to buy a couple of tickets, especially if it supports a good cause. The main way to ensure a successful raffle is to sell your tickets to as many people as possible.
The second thing to focus on is the quality of the prize to encourage even more people to buy as many tickets as possible. Reach out to businesses in your community to see if they’d be willing to sponsor your raffle in exchange for publicity for their brand. Also look up the corporate social responsibility of big household names as they may have special grants or promotions they run to support charities.
Remember that raffles are classified in Australian States and Territories as ‘gaming’ and are regulated to protect the
AUCTION (wine, art, jewelry)

Collaborate with a Local Restaurant
Working with businesses in the community is a great way to benefit both the business and your fundraiser. You may have an established pizzeria down the street that would love to collaborate. But don’t overlook newer restaurants as potential partners — they might be more willing to give you a bigger share of the profits.
With a commission night, your prom committee will take home a certain percentage of the profits. For example, a local establishment might let you take home 20% of all profits during a 2-hour window of service.
They might even let some of your committee members serve as waitstaff and keep the tips. Alternatively, you can pass around a tip jar for more freewill donations from diners.
To make this work, you’ll need to commit to robust marketing so people know to plan their night out on your commission night. You also should avoid scheduling one on a night where there’s competition, such as a concert or play. In the end, your local restaurant will gain a boost
