Projects for Homeschool Fundraising

Homeschooling is on the rise and is becoming more and more popular every day. A lot of parents who want to homeschool do not want to let something like money stand in the way of providing their children with this type of education, and that is understandable, but the fact remains that homeschooling can get expensive quickly.

Things that would normally be provided for the kids at a public school become your personal responsibility, and there seems to be no end to the things they need, year after year.

Homeschool fundraising is a great way to bring some balance back into the family budget and to create a situation where you don’t have to worry so much about where the money for supplies and books is going to come from.

Homeschool fundraising can be a good team exercise for the entire family, and there are a lot of different ways you can go about it. One popular idea amongst homeschooling families is to host a neighborhood car wash. Saturday morning or afternoon is perfect, and you can start putting up posters a few days in advance to get some early interest. The kids can help out, and if you set your prices fairly, you can make a good deal of money this way. You can even make it a semi-regular thing if the car wash works out well for you as a homeschool fundraising idea.

There’s also the possibility of selling things. There are plenty of direct sale homeschool fundraising ideas where you can purchase products to sell at a profit. Chocolate bar fundraisers are a great idea, and never wane in popularity. After all, who doesn’t like chocolate? It’s easy to see how this kind of homeschool fundraising product could help get you back on the right financial road and keep your homeschool afloat.

Patriotic scratch card

Patriotic Scratch Card fundraisers are perfect for scouts, veterans, or any other group with the USA as a focused theme. Scratch card fundraisers are high profit and low risk. It’s an easy and fast way to raise money while promoting American pride.
