Pennies From Heaven

This fundraiser will create a healthy competition amongst classes, homerooms, or Sunday school classes while letting the students work together for a common coal. A penny fundraiser is simple. Each class will have a jar to collect pennies in. One penny equals one vote towards the class. To make it interesting and raise more money, let any other coin denomination equal a vote against the class. For instance, a nickel would equal five votes against the class. Keep each classes jar in a public location to allow anyone to cast a vote for or against a class. Empty each jar at the end of the day and keep a running total. Let this fundraiser run for at least a week to give everyone a chance to bring in their pennies. A great time to run this fundraiser would be during school spirit week. The final result can be revealed during a pep rally at the end of the week. This is a fun and easy fundraiser.

My school did this and the kids loved it!!! The local media even came to take pictures. The winning class got the prize. You need to make it a good prize.

I'm the class of president at a small school (about 1200 students), and I did this--it was an enormous success. we raised over $500 IN CHANGE over the course of two weeks and everybody loved it---we called it penny wars. I can't wait to do it again next year, i'd recommend it to everyone in need of a quick and easy fundraiser

Similar to this is the water bottle of dimes - A standard water bottle holds roughly $96 when filled with dimes! It adds up quick and nobody really misses dimes when they give them!
