A Donation Drive Fundraiser is one of the simplest and most profitable options for martial arts fundraising.

With no inventory and minimal overhead, most of what you raise goes straight to your dojo.
Popular donation drive formats include a “Name Your Price” campaign (supporters give any amount) and a “Sponsor a Student” option where donors contribute toward one athlete’s goals. These approaches can raise serious funds while building stronger community support that carries into future fundraisers.
Direct Sale Fundraisers are a simple, high-profit option for martial arts fundraising, letting students sell popular items directly to family, friends, and the local community. Top sellers include $2 Dessert Smencils, $2 Caramel Sea Salt Pretzel Rods, and $1 Albanese Gummi Bears—easy to price, easy to pitch, and perfect for dojo events and everyday sales.
With profits that can reach up to 45% per item sold, direct sales can make a big impact on needs like new training equipment, uniforms, and competition fees. This approach also keeps your fundraiser community-focused, helping supporters feel connected to your dojo’s goals while driving strong results fast.

Want your martial arts fundraiser to raise more with less stress? Get parents involved early. Parents are often the biggest driver of participation—sharing links, taking orders at work, and helping students stay on track.
The question is: how do you move parents from “aware” to “all in”? Below are six simple, proven ways to engage families, boost participation, and turn your dojo fundraising into a true community effort.
Skip the generic blast. A personalized message gets more parents to join your martial arts fundraiser because it feels direct and meaningful. Use names when you can and keep it friendly, like: “Hi [Parent Name]—we’d love your help with our dojo fundraiser!” A simple personal touch shows parents they’re valued and boosts participation fast.
Parents are more likely to jump in when they know exactly what the fundraiser supports. Be clear about your goal—new mats, uniforms, tournament fees, or facility upgrades—and connect it to the students. Try wording like: “Every sale helps us purchase new training mats for safer practice.” Specific goals make your martial arts fundraiser feel real, urgent, and worth supporting.
Busy parents are more likely to help when your martial arts fundraiser is simple and clear. Give them a few quick options: share a link on social media, place an online order, sign up for a small volunteer slot, or donate a needed item. The easier the “next step,” the more parents will participate.
Parents respond to incentives, too. Add a few simple rewards to keep your martial arts fundraiser moving—like a coffee gift card, a raffle entry, or a “top helper” shout-out. You can also offer a bigger perk (like a thank-you dinner or dojo merch) for the parents who bring in the most support.
Make your martial arts fundraiser feel like something families want to show up for. Host a kickoff night with a short demo, belt ceremony, or “bring-a-friend” class—then tie it directly to the fundraiser goal. Events like a barbecue, open house, or showcase build community, boost participation, and give parents an easy reason to support and share.
A genuine thank-you keeps parents engaged—and makes them more likely to help again. Recognize support during classes or events, in emails, and on social media with quick shout-outs like: “Big thanks to [Parent Name] for helping our dojo fundraiser!” Small appreciation goes a long way for your martial arts fundraising momentum.
By using these strategies, your martial arts fundraiser becomes more than a quick ask—it becomes a positive, community-driven effort that parents actually want to support. Keep it simple, show the impact, and make parents feel appreciated, and you’ll build stronger participation now (and an easier fundraiser next time).
