Juggling life as a mom of a teenager, running my business, and managing all the daily tasks has taught me just how important school fundraisers are. They help fund those extracurricular activities, new equipment, and special programs that make school life better for our kids. But finding the right balance is key. The best fundraisers are fun for the students, easy for the parents, and effective for the school. When you can nail all three, you’re on your way to a successful and memorable fundraiser that everyone can feel good about.
- Make Fundraising Fun for Students
Children are naturally enthusiastic and imaginative, so why not tap into that energy for your next fundraiser? Fundraisers that engage students creatively—whether through art projects, challenges, or hands-on activities—are more likely to capture their interest and keep them motivated.
For example, organizing an art showcase where students can display and sell their creative works not only supports their school but also brings their artistic contributions to life. When kids see their creations making a real difference, it fosters a sense of pride and investment. The joy of participating in such an experience often inspires them to get more involved and share it with their friends, amplifying the impact and celebration of their creativity. At Made with Your Art, we help not only celebrate but also preserve those memorable moments.
- Keep It Simple for Parents
As parents, we are often juggling busy schedules, so fundraisers that are easy to participate in are more likely to gain our support. A fundraiser that doesn’t require a lot of time or effort—like selling products online or promoting a cause through social media—can significantly increase parental engagement. Make it convenient by providing clear instructions, pre-made marketing materials, and simple online tools. Fundraisers that allow parents to contribute at their convenience and from anywhere are much more appealing. When parents see that participating won’t add stress to their lives, they’re more likely to get on board.
One spectacular option for an easy and engaging fundraising program is to transform kid's artwork into unique, custom jewelry and accessories. This approach not only provides a seamless way for schools to raise funds but also offers families a chance to celebrate and preserve their children's creativity. By participating in this program, schools can earn a commission on every sale, making it a win-win for everyone involved. This solution is designed to be hassle-free for parents and provides a meaningful way to support school programs while celebrating the artistic achievements of students.
Our Made With Your Art fundraising program is designed to be as easy and stress-free as possible, allowing schools and parents to focus on what truly matters—empowering creativity and enriching education. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Enroll Getting started is simple. Just email us at fundraiser@madewithyourart.com with your contact information and fundraiser dates. We’re here to assist you every step of the way, answering any questions you might have and ensuring your fundraiser runs smoothly.
Step 2: Share Once you’ve enrolled, we’ll send you marketing materials to help you spread the word.

Step 3: Raise Funds For every purchase made through your fundraiser, your school will earn 10% back. We’ll provide you with a promo code to make tracking sales simple, and at the end of each month, we’ll send you a detailed report along with an e-transfer for the funds raised. It’s a hassle-free way to support your art program while empowering children’s creativity.
- Ensure It’s Effective for Schools
Ultimately, a successful fundraiser is one that meets the school’s goals. This means generating enough funds to support the targeted initiatives while also building a sense of community and school spirit. Schools should choose fundraisers that are aligned with their values and objectives, ensuring that the campaign resonates with both students and families.
An effective fundraiser will also create lasting memories for the students, making it more than just about raising money. It’s about fostering a positive school culture where everyone feels like they’re contributing to something meaningful. When students, parents, and staff all feel connected to the cause, your fundraiser has a far greater chance of success.
Made With Your Art’s fundraising program combines all these elements. This initiative turns students’ artwork into personalized keepsakes that families will treasure forever. It's a fun way for kids to showcase their creativity, and it's simple for parents to participate—just share the fundraiser with your community, and Made With Your Art takes care of the rest.
