Schools across the Durham Region are always searching for fresh ways to support student programs, clubs, and events. Thankfully, fundraising doesn’t have to feel repetitive or outdated. Whether you’re part of a parent council, teacher team, or student group, here are five creative and community-driven fundraising ideas designed to engage students, families, and local supporters:
1. Community Art Night
Bring families together for a fun evening of creativity. Students create artwork that can be displayed, auctioned, or sold as prints.
2. Eco-Friendly Fundraiser
Partner with local nurseries to sell plants, seeds, or gardening kits—perfect for spring campaigns.
3. Digital Donation Drives
Launch a simple online campaign that allows families and alumni to contribute directly from their phones.
4. Student Talent Showcase
Let students shine while raising funds through ticket sales and concessions.
5. Local Business Collaboration
Partner with Durham-based shops or restaurants that donate a portion of sales.
This approach blends creativity, community connection, and meaningful impact—exactly what Durham Fundraisers stands for.
