Would you like to share your school fundraising experiences with other readers?  Your unique experiences will be valuable to the thousands of visitors each month who come to this site looking for fundraising information.

Suggested Topics

Overall, our readers want practical ideas that they can act upon to raise funds for schools and youth related activities such as scouts or sports. Your post can be related to a successful school fundraiser you have participated in, strategies to raise more funds, working with parent volunteers or topics of interest to specific school groups.

Articles published here are intended to be informative, inspirational and practical.  Viewing the categories in the left hand side bar will give you more ideas for topics that will be relevant.

Success Stories

Posts that feature schools that have been successful with a particular fundraiser are some of our most popular pages. In addition to highlighting the success of the school, it’s important that the article include concepts that readers can apply to their own work.

Here are some points to consider if you are writing an article that features a success story:

  • How much advance planning went into the fundraiser?
  • Were there upfront costs with this fundraiser?
  • What got people excited about participating in this fundraiser?
  • What aspect of the fundraiser was most effective in raising funds and why?
  • What advice would you have for someone who wanted to organize a similar fundraiser?

Additional Guidelines

Articles should be of at least 500 words; there is no maximum limit. We prefer articles that have not been published already on other websites. Though we occasionally will make exceptions to that. Always link back to source information if quotations are used. You may include relevant links within the body of the article (within reason).  Please include a short “about the author” or bio and link to your website so that can be included on your author page.

Content that we do not accept

Topics that are outside the category of  school fundraising or school management will not be accepted. Sending articles with many grammatical, spelling or factual errors reduces the likelihood that it will be published.

We do not reprint press releases or accept articles from companies that are simply promoting their products or services.  We’d be happy to review your press release for possible consideration as a news story.  You can email us a copy of the release or a link to it using our contact form.  For advertising opportunities please see the advertising page.

How to submit your article

Email us via the contact form and let us know what you’d like to write about and why you think it’s a good fit. We’ll get back with you, usually within 48 hours, with a response. If accepted you may send the article in Word format, or if you are comfortable with WordPress we can provide further instructions on how to enter the article yourself.

Thanks for sharing your passion for fundraising for schools!
