Fall is an enchanting time of year. The crisp air, vibrant foliage, and a sense of new beginnings at the school year’s start create the perfect backdrop for fundraising. The season’s unique charm provides countless creative and engaging fundraising event opportunities. Whether you’re part of a school, youth group, or nonprofit, fall offers the ideal conditions to gather your community and rally support for your cause. Additionally, the numerous holidays and celebrations in the fall provide natural themes and occasions to anchor your fundraising efforts, making it easier to attract participants and donors.

Hosting fundraisers in the fall comes with a myriad of benefits. Firstly, the weather is pleasant, making outdoor events feasible and enjoyable. The fall season is packed with holidays and festivities, such as Halloween and Thanksgiving, which can be seamlessly integrated into your fundraising activities. This is an excellent time for cheerleading squads, booster clubs, and football teams to capitalize on the season’s spirit and enthusiasm. The vibrant colors and festive atmosphere of autumn can enhance the appeal of your events, drawing in larger crowds and increasing your fundraising potential.

How to Choose the Right Fall Fundraiser for Your Group
Choosing the right fundraiser depends on your group’s interests, resources, and target audience. Simple, engaging activities like pumpkin decorating can be a hit for a daycare or preschool. High school groups might prefer something more elaborate, like a haunted house. Consider the strengths and preferences of your group members and the resources available to you. The key is picking an activity that will excite your participants and supporters. Additionally, assessing past fundraising successes and gathering input from group members can provide valuable insights into selecting the most effective and enjoyable event for your community.

Bake sales are a timeless fundraising idea that never goes out of style. Adding a seasonal twist can make them even more appealing. Think pumpkin spice cupcakes, apple pies, and cinnamon rolls. These treats will draw a crowd and evoke the cozy feelings associated with fall. Elementary schools and middle school groups can easily organize these events with the help of parents and teachers. Including local produce and autumn-themed decorations can further enhance the ambiance and attract more attendees.

Harvest festivals and pumpkin patches are quintessential fall activities that can double as fantastic fundraisers. Set up games, food stalls, and craft booths to create a lively, family-friendly atmosphere. Church groups and school classes can host these festivals, offering a fun day while raising money for their cause. Live music, hayrides, and storytelling sessions can add to the festive environment, making your event a memorable community gathering.

Setting up caramel apple and cider stands is a simple yet effective fundraising idea. These seasonal treats will attract customers looking to indulge in fall flavors. This idea works well for choir groups and band members who can easily manage the stands and perform for added entertainment. Adding a touch of creativity by offering toppings or custom flavors can make your stand stand out and boost sales.

A scarecrow-building competition can be a delightful and imaginative way to engage your community. Participants can form teams, gather materials, and create their best scarecrow. This event is perfect for softball teams and volleyball clubs looking to raise funds in a fun and interactive way. Offering prizes for categories like “Most Creative” or “Scariest Scarecrow” can increase participation and excitement. Additionally, displaying the scarecrows around the community can extend the event’s impact and visibility.

For those who enjoy a good scare, haunted house events are a thrilling way to raise money. These events can be as simple or elaborate as your group desires, with spooky decorations and volunteers acting as ghosts and ghouls. Dance and gymnastics groups can showcase their creativity and athleticism by organizing and performing in these haunted houses. Incorporating different themes or levels of scariness can cater to a broader audience, ensuring both children and adults can enjoy the experience.

Warm up the chilly fall evenings with a chili cook-off or soup night. Invite community members to cook and compete, offering their best recipes.

Nothing says fall like a good tailgate party or BBQ. Set up a grilling station at local football games or community parks, offering burgers, hot dogs, and other BBQ favorites.

I have been working with Midland Fundraising for the past three years for all of the fundraisings I do at Haviland Middle School. During that time, they have been incredibly efficient, courteous, and professional. I organize fundraisers for two groups that have about 150 students combined. Each time I do a new fundraiser, they get me all my forms and materials quickly and takes the time to explain what I need to do. She makes my job very easy by providing me with step-by-step instructions and giving me tips on how to make our event successful. Always very polite and friendly and doesn’t hesitate to send me new copies of papers that I misplace (multiple times). Although I’ve never met her face-to-face, I feel that Mysti is a wonderful, reliable contact of mine and I’m grateful that she is in charge of my fundraising needs.
Breeanne P.
I am writing to express my pleasure of working with Midland Fundraising. For the past two and half years, I have used Midland for fundraising for my school soccer team. They have been so helpful and always ready to assist from the beginning of my experiences with the company. Mysti has always been my representative and has always been available for questions and help with orders. She is very prompt with replies to my emails and very thorough with my questions. Mysti has helped with things such as adding tax to our orders since we are a food taxing state (meeting district fundraising guidelines), and she always checks up on our sales and if we need anything at all. She has been very helpful with the selection of products and followed up on all aspects from contract correctness, delivery dates and times, delivered items, and if we will continue to use the company in the future. Mysti Oliver has been so good and helpful to me that I have referred her to other coaches and teachers at my school to use for their fundraisers! I would recommend her to anyone! She has made my experiences simple and painless!
Coach Maggie
We have had two great experiences working with Midland Fundraising. We were a bit skeptical at first about working with a company halfway across the country, but it has not been an issue. Mysti has worked with us closely, always working to satisfy both our group and our customers. The products have been of good quality, and any issues with breakage or wrong item have been taken care of immediately. We were happy to find a company that offered items at 50% profit in brochure format, too.

“Your company has been a pleasure to work with. After years of selling candy bars, my Environmental Council group was looking for a company that sold high-quality products that were eco-friendly. I am so glad that we found you! I am completely satisfied with the products we have ordered but more importantly, in the high standards of customer service from you. From the very first phone calls and e-mail exchanges with you – I have found you to be helpful, cheerful and so efficient. You took care of any concerns I had with a professional yet personal touch. Nowadays, many companies don’t take the time to ensure customer satisfaction; but not with you. I have always been treated respectfully, and you keep in contact with me throughout the fundraising process. I still marvel at your efficiency – especially the one and only time there was a mix-up with one of my student’s orders. You were with me every step of the way, making things right for him and his customer. I can’t praise you enough. I have dealt with many vendors over my 26years of teaching and you and your company tops all of them for customer satisfaction,courtesy, and professionalism! I have complimented you many times over the last few years for your professionalism and outstanding customer service that goes well above and beyond in every sense of the word. You have humbly and graciously accepted it but I can tell that you truly have a sense of pride and accomplishment in all that you do so you say that no ‘thanks’ are necessary. But in this economy, people can choose to go anywhere for their fundraising needs and you have kept me coming back to your company.”
