It's almost the new year, and that means new teams, new goals, and new expenses. Raising money doesn't have to be challenging or complicated. We've put together our easiest fundraising ideas so your team can start the year off right:
1. Indigo fundraiser
An Indigo fundraiser (for our Canuck teams out there) is one of the easiest ways to raise money for PTA boosters and parent clubs--it's a natural favourite among schools! It's simple to set up on FlipGive, and the real magic happens when you buy an Indigo eGift Card, which you can use in-store or online as credit (or gift out to loved ones), as it gives 15% back. Which means an instant $15 donation on a $100 Card you can spend on in-store trips to Indigo!

A hot chocolate fundraiser is a sweet way to raise money during the winter season, especially for parents who have kids participating in winter sports. If you have a FlipGive fundraising campaign, you can already start fundraising by getting the ingredients, carafe and even to-go cups from your favourite grocery stores at FlipGive. Then let the actual hot chocolate fundraising begin!. Read more on how to put a hot chocolate fundraiser together here.
