My church needs to hold its annual fundraiser to pay for activities. We usually have a potluck dinner, and everyone pays for a plate, but we want to do something different this year. Can you give me some ideas for a fundraiser? Answer with a bullet list.

Here are five ideas for a fundraiser:
• Karaoke Night - Have a karaoke night or a few nights throughout the month that build up to a final winner. Charge an entry fee and have people vote for their favorite performer by charging a small fee for each vote.
• Play Bingo - Host a bingo night. Ask local businesses for donations to serve as prizes. Charge $1 per bingo card. For even more money, the church could also serve food that has been donated, such as chips, nachos, and cookies. 
• Rummage Sale - Plan 2 to 3 months in advance and ask church members and members of the community to donate items. Have volunteers price the items, set up everything, and run the sale.
• Bake Sale - Ask local businesses to donate baked goods. Have church members make desserts such as pies, cakes, and fudge. Advertise the bake sale and charge a flat rate for items.
• Sell Chocolate - There are several companies that have popular chocolate bars to sell for fundraising. Your church will earn 50% of what they sell, and sometimes more for different varieties. Youth groups can sell at different locations and church members can bring a box of bars to sell at work.

You can also hold a silent auction in addition to any of these fundraiser ideas. Reach out to businesses in the area and church members to ask for donations that can be auctioned off. Use a piece of paper for each item so people can write down their names and bid.
Reach out to other churches and ask for their support by attending your fundraiser event.
