Oi!!! it's not JUST grandma's that love Garden Express fundraiser!!! they have minimal mark up on everyday prices, and the school/kinda gets heaps of profit from it!
cookie dough - not sure how well it would work for a kinder, but all the schools and stuff here do it at least once a year (they stagger it over a few months, so we have a constant supply!)
SPC fruit bulk packs - again, not sure how they work profit margin wise, but the local school/kindy are running it at the moment for about the third year - we're from a small town, so maybe 80 kids combined from the two, and they still do alright
at work, we choose a charity to support every year, and do fundraising efforts all year towards them - we've done the photo sittings, trivia nights (can be harder to organise, but also very profitable), pie drive, raffles (mothers day, easter, fathers day, valentines day, winter, summer, spring - always a raffle on the go!), chocolates on team leader desks all year round. we've also had a fete and party plan day...
party plan days work ok - not too difficult, but can take a bit of advertising - get lots of different party plan people to come in, $10 to have a table (or whatever amount), people pay a couple of bucks to get in, sell supper or whatever...
if you have someone associated with kindy that sells something, and you just want to do a big party - instead of getting free products (though with kids toys it could work) you get a percentage of all sales from the party... i've done this several times with different products...
those last couple are probably more time-intensive to organise, so might not be what you're after, but i figured seeing i was waffling, i'd just keep going![]()
