How to solicit schools for fundraising?
I have a charity that helps families and friends of those with illnesses such as manic depression, cancer, autism, etc. We help with counseling, financial assistance when we can, problem solving, etc. In order to expand our resources, we would like to get involved with schools but are unaware of how to start. Anyone who has children know that several times a year your child comes home with a packet of info solicity the family to buy figurines, candy, gifts, etc. There are all kinds of things being solicited for one reason or another. I’m trying to find out how my charity can become a part of the school’s organization to solicity the parents for our cause. This would be a big help and any thoughts, comments, suggestions, or answers would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

First you must contact the school board. They will have to approve of it first. Then contact the PTO/PTA. They are usually the fundraisers for the schools. Although, most money raised at school is to benefit the school, not an outside organization. Maybe you could approach the PTO with an offer to split the proceeds- 50% to the PTO, 50% to your organization. Good luck.

You might want to try going through the school councelors. Keep in mind that schools (PTA or PTO) are putting most of their efforts into fundraising for their own schools, not outside charities so your idea will have to be something that won’t interfere with their own fundraising. Check here for ideas:
Good Luck!

You might start with going to the school administration. They would be the ones to OK everything that is handed out in the schools. Hope that helps.
