Shoveling snow and working in the school canteen. Theres also a website called fiver that a friend told me about. I have never used it but the idea is you put in your skills and people pay $5 for you to do a small job for them (eg. design a birthday card)

I used to make and sell macrame jewelry to be able to afford new surfboards (I have my boards custom made to my exact specifications). My current board is nearing retirement so maybe I'll start doing that again 😁

My wife's (and daughter's) Senior Girl Scout troop raised money every year by picking up people's Christmas trees and taking them to the designated dumping sites. We had it organized where a dad would drive the pick up truck and two or three girls would go along and load the trees in the truck and pick up the donation envelope from under the front mat. We had people call our answering machine and leave their name and number, then we would call them back to schedule their pick up. As we replied to the phone messages, we would fill out a form for our use, which recorded their name, address, and phone number, so we could contact them by postcard the next year for repeat business. The girls raised in Knouff money each year to take a major trip. One year they went on a cruise, another year to New York City, another to New Orleans, and another year to Minnesota to go river rafting. But the best may have been their spring break trip to hike across the Grand Canyon.

Good for her! Everybody uses "gofundme" accounts for everything these days- it's nice to see a kid earn it the old fashioned way!

Lots, now that I think about it, from school age on. Ran a Sadie Hawkins dance once. Worked for Goodwill and organized a silent auction of donated goods I called around to collect. That was incredible: I learned that just about any company will cheerfully, even joyfully, donate products to causes they like. Totally got me over the fear of soliciting donations.

We did a lot of fundraisers when I was in sorority. It might be a good idea to team up with others who need to raise money for the trip and do some fundraisers. Some of the things we did were yard sales, car washes, and fundraisers with local restaurants where people come in with a flyer and a percentage of their bill goes to your fundraiser

When I was 12 I wanted a computer, which was 1,200, so my dad made a deal if I raised 600 he'd match it and pay the tax. So the way I raised money is me and my mom made sweets for my neighborhood, church, school, and my parents work. In the me and mom made 1,700.

When I was in high school, a nonprofit did a Kiss a Pig contest. Local celebrities participated and you could donate money as votes for which local celebrity you wanted to kiss the pig.

Her high school choir is taking a group of about 150 students to Calgary Canada this summer. They haven't released how much money it will take, but she wanted to be proactive. She is selling them for $12.00/pan of brownies. They are VERY good.
