Fundraising is a flexible way to support your sustainability projects and activities, with opportunities to involve learners, families and your wider community.

- Bake sales, pre-loved uniform sales and other school events
- Non-uniform, themed or sustainability-focused days
- Donation drives and community fundraising
- PTA-led fundraising activities
- Sponsorship or match funding from local businesses and community organisations
Why
Fundraising can:
- Engage your community in your sustainability aims, helping to build support and ownership
- Give give learners opportunities to develop entrepreneurial skills and take an active role in raising money for projects they care about
- Offer positive publicity for your setting and local businesses
- Have greater flexibility and fewer conditions than some grants, so you are less reliant on competitive funding pots
How
- Involve your PTA - or equivalent parent and community group, particularly where they already organise fundraising activities
- Give learners a role in planning and delivering events - learner-led fundraising can be a great way to build ownership
- Agree fundraising priorities - your sustainability lead and senior leadership team should be involved in agreeing fundraising priorities and ensuring activities align with your setting's policies and timetable
- Involve local businesses - they may be willing to sponsor a project or provide match funding, so consider approaching businesses with a clear idea of what their support could help achieve
