Choir Fundraising Made Easy: High-Profit Ideas, Simple Steps, and Midland Catalogs

Choir fundraising doesn’t have to feel like a never-ending rehearsal—especially when you pick a fundraiser your supporters actually get excited about. If you’re searching for the best choir fundraising ideas (that work for middle school choir, high school choir, church choirs, and community groups), you’re in the right place.

At Midland Fundraising, we make choir fundraisers simple, profitable, and easy to run. Our catalog fundraising programs give your group a curated mix of crowd-pleasing products that families, friends, and community supporters love to buy—so your choir can raise money for uniforms, travel, competition fees, new music, equipment, and more.

Here’s what makes a Midland fundraiser such a great fit for choirs: it’s organized, it’s flexible, and it feels “professional” right out of the gate. You’ll have a fundraiser that’s easy for students to participate in, easy for parents to support, and easy for directors to manage—without the stress of complicated logistics.

How it works (and why choirs love it)

Getting started is super straightforward. Choose your fundraising program, share it with your choir families and supporters, and start collecting orders. Our product selection is designed to appeal to a wide range of buyers, which helps boost participation and increase your total profit—without needing a huge volunteer team to pull it off.

Want to make it even more choir-specific?

Pair your fundraiser with a choir event for an extra boost. A ticketed concert, “Dinner & a Show,” holiday performance, or community sing-along creates a perfect moment for supporters to give—and it gives your students a chance to shine. You can also add choir-friendly extras like:

  • Choir shout-outs in the concert program

  • Sponsor donations from local businesses

  • Merch tables at performances (shirts, spirit wear, or small add-ons)

  • A “support the arts” message that connects your community to your mission

The bottom line: a Midland Fundraising catalog fundraiser helps you raise more, stress less, and keep the focus on what matters—your students, your music, and your next big performance. Let’s turn your next fundraiser into a true win-win: strong sales, happy supporters, and a choir that’s ready for the spotlight.

Run a profitable choir fundraiser with a simple, proven catalog program.

Donation Drive

A Donation Drive Fundraiser is one of the easiest and most profitable ways to raise money for choir—because there’s no inventory to manage and very little overhead. Choir members simply reach out to family, friends, and local businesses to collect direct donations for specific needs like new sheet music, travel costs, uniforms, and competition fees.

Popular options include a “Name Your Price” campaign (supporters give any amount) and a “Sponsor a Singer” drive (donors sponsor a student or performance). Donation drives don’t just raise funds fast—they also strengthen community support, making it easier to fund future choir goals.

Direct sale fundraisers for choirs are a fast, high-profit way to raise money—because supporters can buy on the spot and enjoy the product right away. Choir members sell popular, easy-to-carry items like $2 Original Smencils, $1 America’s Variety Candy Bars, and $2 Welch’s Fruit Snacks to family, friends, and the local community.

These fundraisers can generate up to 45% profit per item, making them a strong option for covering sheet music, travel costs, uniforms, and performance fees. They also work especially well at concerts, school events, and community nights, where quick add-on purchases (like lollipops, gummy snacks, and candy bars) can seriously boost totals.

Tips for Success: Engaging Parents in Choir Fundraising

A choir fundraiser is so much easier (and more profitable) when parents are involved. When families help share the link, organize orders, and keep students on track, participation goes way up—and the whole campaign runs smoother. Here are simple ways to turn parents into your choir’s biggest fundraising supporters.

Personalized Invitations + Clear Communication

Start strong with a simple message parents can understand (and repeat). Keep it upbeat, explain the goal, and make the impact crystal clear—like “Help us raise money for new choir robes” or “Support our spring competition trip.” Use quick emails, texts, and reminders so families know exactly how to help and when to share.

Make It Personal

Generic asks get ignored—personal ones get action. Use parents’ names when you can, and connect the fundraiser to their student and the choir’s goal. A quick note like, “Hi [Parent Name]—thanks for helping [Student Name] support the choir and reach our goal for uniforms/travel,” makes families feel included and more likely to share and participate.

Offer Convenient Participation Options

Parents are busy—so make helping feel effortless. Promote quick options like sharing the fundraiser link by text, posting on social media, or sending it to out-of-town family. When parents see how easy online participation is, they’re much more likely to jump in.

Create a Sense of Community

Build momentum with a quick kickoff—either in person or virtual. Share the “why,” highlight what fundraising supports (travel, robes, music, equipment), and remind families they’re part of something bigger than a sale. Even a short story like, “Last year’s parent support helped us perform at a major competition,” makes the fundraiser feel meaningful and motivates participation.

Recognition and Appreciation

A little gratitude goes a long way. Give parents quick shout-outs in newsletters, social posts, or at rehearsals—something as simple as “Thanks to our choir families for sharing the fundraiser this week!” keeps energy up and makes people more likely to stay involved (and help again).

Provide Regular Updates

Keep parents engaged with short progress check-ins. Share how close you are to the goal and what it supports—“We’re 80% of the way to new robes!” or “Only $200 left to hit our travel goal!” Regular updates create urgency, keep the fundraiser top-of-mind, and encourage one more share.

When parents feel included, choir fundraising gets easier—and results get bigger. A little communication, a little momentum, and a lot of appreciation can turn your fundraiser into a smooth, high-participation campaign that helps your choir hit every goal.
