You’re likely focused on your Christmas fundraising plans – but Halloween is the perfect excuse to host a fundraising event in the Autumn. Our previous post about Seasonal Fundraising Events shows that you’re likely to boost your total if your event is based around a season or a theme, so we have put together some Halloween Fundraising Ideas to spark your imagination, and give you an opportunity for fundraising in the gap between summer fairs and Christmas.
Take advantage of Halloween and host mini Halloween fundraising events, or even a firework display that can help boost your annual fundraising totals.
We have scoured Pinterest to put together a Halloween Fundraising Board with the best Halloween charity ideas to help inspire your seasonal event. We have also chosen 5 fun halloween fundraising ideas that we love and think would be a great success.
Get some spooky props and costumes together, along with a simple scary background, and buy or hire a Polaroid camera. Charge for the photos – a great Halloween memento. If you know someone with a good digital camera, you may not even have to pay for a photographer or an actual Photo Booth, and can choose an immediate printing system or take down email addresses and send your photos on, after the event.
It’s a classic game for Halloween parties, and works perfectly for a fundraiser stall. You could stay traditional and bob apples in water, or if you’d prefer a more child-friendly version, you could always place apples in shredded paper. Place a colour on the bottom of each apple, and that colour could correspond to a prize.
This is a great idea for an autumn fair. Create yourself a runway area, place pins, or bottles, or Halloween statues at the end, and use a pumpkin as the bowling ball to knock down as many as possible. You could set five as the aim and if you knock down five or more, you win a prize. Get in touch with your local pumpkin farmer, who may have unsellable pumpkins (too large or small) which they might be able to donate for your charitable event.
What’s better than a Trick or Treat Lucky Dip?! Place either a sweetie or small toy Treat or a Trick – picture of a scary Halloween character – into a sealed bag, and individuals pay to choose a bag and win the contents. This is essentially a tombola, just with a Halloween twist!
A fun Halloween raffle ticket idea, just make it spooky. We may be biased, but a raffle is a great fundraiser because it can be run as a single event or as part of a fair. Seasonal prizes can be easier to source, too, with Halloween candy treats or scary movie hampers – or even tickets to a nearby Halloween event to win.
