What are some really really good ways to fundraise money for a trip?

I'm planning to go on an expensive trip to Europe next summer, but the problem is I don't have a lot of money. =(





I'm planning to buy candy and water bottles from Costco and sell them to other people. Honestly, I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

1. Sell stuff you no longer want or need in a tag/garage sale. Ask friends and family to chip it some items for the sale that they don't want to bother with or don't want or need either.


2. Print up some flyers offering your "handy" Andy or Anne talents, ie: mowing lawns, washing windows, babysitting, cleaning gutters, etc.


3. Look to friends and family to help "sponsor" you. Ask if they might chip in $10 each to help defray costs.


4. Look to local businesses to maybe assist, like restaurants that serve food from areas you are going to visit. Maybe offering local pics of eateries in France to some local French restaurants in your town or surrounding areas.


5. Make copies of some of your pictures from your trip and sell them.


6. Do some research online to see what other people in areas that you are going to may want from America. On one of my trips to Jamaica, I found that the locals were VERY interested in rope and good American jeans. So I bought some quality jeans with good designer names from my local Salvation Army and bought some nice good quality rope in bulk from a local hardware shop. Took me 2 days and I wish I had packed less of my own clothes and more jeans and rope. Could have practically paid for the whole trip with those two SIMPLE items. Just pick wisely.


7. Buy some of that fund raiser candy, candles, whatnots, etc and sell it.


8. Get a JOB!


9. Act as a translator for tour groups if you are fluent in a European language in the countries you will be visiting and ask the tour group to pay a $1 or $2 per person each day.


Good luck and hope you have a wonderful, memorable time.
Reply:CAR WASH!!!! or u could sell BBQ sandwiches on the road. my friend and i did that once and made 17 bucks each in 30 minutes and we sold the BBQ sandwiches for 2 dollars only. we also sold drinks and golf balls. U could make the sandwiches more expensive though.
