* Poetry reading - Organize a poetry reading with other members of your team. Invite friends and other participants or donors who are interested in this cause. Ask for volunteers who want to perform by sharing their poems on the night of the event. Your poems may be bonded by the particular cause that you advocate. During the event, explain to everyone the importance of their donations. You may also include this in the details of your invitation.

* Major auction - Everyone in the community may participate in this charity fund raising idea. In this auction everyone is invited to auction their work, products, talents or services. These should be the participants' specialty to motivate bidders to bid higher. Examples of these are teenagers volunteering to babysit or mow the lawn, boutique owners offering gift checks, theater owners giving out free tickets and more. Proceeds of this charity fund raising event are entirely for the cause of you organization.

* Workshop - This charity fund raising idea also revolves around a talent. In this case, you hire an expert or a number of them to facilitate the workshop for you. Some examples of workshops are those centering on dance, visual arts, fiction or theater. You may even choose to combine these workshops to provide different activities. This can last for a day to a few days if you want.

Experts for the workshop are requested to offer their talents for free or for a minimal fee. Then, charge a fee for every participant that comes to the workshop. Participants get to help your cause while learning something valuable in your workshop.

* Seasonal meal - This is another charity fund raising idea that lets you charge admission fees. The seasonal meal involves coming together with friends, families and acquaintances. The lunch or dinner is a potluck of various dishes which are suitable for the present season of the year.

* Car wash - Charge fees for every car that you wash. It is best to practice this charity fund raising idea during the weekend when a lot of car owners have free time. You may offer special products and/or services to owners while they wait for their cars.

You may combine any or all of these charity fund raising ideas in one event. Just don't forget to have lots of fun to make your efforts for your cause more worthwhile.
