Bakeless Bake Sale
A Bakeless bake sale is one of the best unique fundraising ideas! What? Just think about it. There are no ingredients to buy, recipes to find or a lot of time to spend on shopping, mixing or baking. That sounds pretty easy…and it is! As one of the easiest fundraising ideas for kids, this one takes the cake! – No pun intended…well maybe. How it Works Like any “virtual” event, the bakeless bake sale happens WITHOUT the actual event.
Set a Goal Have an overall goal and let your organization and those you serve (your school, church, team, etc.) understand that you need their participation to meet the target amount. Within the organization (team, school, church, etc.) set individual goals per group to build competition and excitement. Have a Clear Timeline Inform all participants about the start time and end time for your virtual bake sale. Build in incentives to increase participation. For example, if this fundraiser is being conducted in a school, have a contest and provide free recess, no homework or something else of value to the class that reaches their goal first.
