Top Fundraising Ideas for Teen Youth Groups

Teen youth groups often need to raise money for outings, field trips, supplies, parties, and more. When this is the case, you need a great fundraising idea teens will enjoy as they raise money for the group.

Depending on your youth group, you may want to choose an awareness custom car magnet and partner with a charity, such as autism awareness or cancer awareness. This can help reach the emotional side of your teens and those they are selling to, along with providing funds for your youth group and the charity you partner with.

Here are some of the good fundraising ideas to consider, but selling custom awareness magnets will offer a higher profit margin and an easier fundraiser to run.

7 Fundraising Ideas for Teen Youth Groups

1. Unique Car Wash

Everybody loves a good car wash, but why not make it a bit unique? Put your own twist on it by letting your teens dress up to fit a theme or even putting on a quick little show of some sort during the car wash.

Imagine if you had a team of superheroes ready to wash cars. This could be a fun theme and you could even give away a custom car magnet with any donation of $20 or more.

2. Gift Wrapping

During the holiday season, everybody needs gifts to be wrapped. You can have a spot at your church or school where you offer to wrap gifts and make it known you will be available for a certain amount of hours and days.

3. T-Shirt Fundraiser

Custom t-shirts can be fun for teens to sell if you get the right design. However, be prepared to deal with sizes and issues if someone doesn’t like the way it fits.

4. Big Game Party

If the Super Bowl is coming up or another big game, you can hold a huge event for it or do multiple house parties with a telecast. This can be a good way to raise money as you charge an entry donation and encourage those attending to bring snacks and beverages.

5. Fashion Show

If your group of teens are into fashion, a fashion show offers a good fundraiser. You can pair it with a 50/50 drawing, selling concessions, a dinner, and selling custom car magnets for the ultimate fundraiser.

All you need is a space to hold the fashion show, chairs, and a runway. Then, you just need to get some students and parents to do the modeling and put your own unique twist on the show.

6. Sock Fundraiser

Selling socks is a bit unique and some groups of teens might like this type of fundraiser. It can be fun, but also a bit odd for some people.

7.  Spaghetti Dinner

Pasta dinners are very cheap to run as pasta is cheap to make. With teens, you can let them do serving and cooking, with supervision, and run the event. It’s a great way to bring together the community and raise some cash.

You can pair selling custom car magnets for your group with any event fundraiser to make it even better. This can help you gain bigger donations and bring in more cash.
