Have a fundraiser that is near Halloween and use cats as a theme for the event.
A fundraising idea related to cats perhaps isn't a typical concept, though it can be done. The idea is especially practical if the target market includes people who are fond of animals, or if the fundraiser is done near Halloween, a holiday often associated with cats. Creativity can go a long way in making a fun and profitable fundraising experience using cats.
Holidays
Holidays may provide an ample opportunity to get people together for a fundraiser. Halloween is often associated with black cats because they traditionally were thought to be considered bad luck or were associated with witches. To make the event fun, attendees can be asked to either dress like a cat or wear a cat pin. The outfit or pin that is the most creative or unusual can win a prize. Items sold at the event to raise money may be associated with cats as well as gift certificates to purchase a cat at a local pet store.
Animal Groups
For a fundraising idea meant to help an animal organization like a shelter or animal rights group, a cat-oriented event may be planned by encouraging people to bring their cats or other animals to the event. To raise money, items that help cat owners like a gift certificate to a pet store or to a cat care center for when the owners are out of town may be auctioned off. Also to encourage people to come, veterinarians may be invited to speak at the event about better pet care and health.
Schools
For cat-themed fundraising ideas for schools or similar organizations, students and their teachers can make bracelets, key holders or pictures with cats and other animals. Such items can then be sold to raise money for the school or a group at the school like the choir. Additionally, a cat robot or stuffed animal may be made by older, more advanced students who then sell it at a fundraiser, the proceeds going to a school organization or to fund a school trip.
