What are some good money makers that might not be overdone?

We are going to do a donations fundraiser through Cash Cow. They only take 5% to cover the transaction fees, others take 20-25%

GoFundMe style fundraisers work well. A million different companies have their versions of it -- instaraise, snapraise, etc.

I like them because you aren't selling overpriced popcorn that eats away at the profit margins. You don't have to worry about delivering any product. The range of the fundraiser is not limited to your town -- you can ask for donations from anywhere in the country. Makes it easier so that you aren't asking the same community members to support the band, choir, football team, cheer, etc.

Rural, urban, suburban, or something else?

A mattress sale may work in the suburbs but isn't going to make a ton of money in a rural community.

Tell us, generally, about where you are and what kind of community you live in. Poor? Middle-class? Single parent or both parents work? It all affects fundraising success.
