At my work we are fundraising for Doctors Without Borders (specifically Haiti).

We've had a week of bakesales and people have begun to tire of the daily treats although a $20 box of Timbits (donut holes)did raise $113.

I have suggested a wine raffle (bring in a bottle, get 1-2 tickets) and then tickets can be purchased (ie: 3 for $5). The first prize is a case of wine; 2nd prize 8 bottles etc.

I'm looking for fundraising ideas that can be done in an office setting.

Thanks

How about getting local businesses to donate items or services and then hold a silent auction?

Nail salons could donate a gift certificate for a manicure/pedicure, a restaurant could give a certificate for a nice dinner, etc. Your office would make a lot of money and the businesses could write off their donation, as well.

how many at your office?

"Goods and Services" auction.........
Have each person donate an item...either something tangible or something life 4 doz. homemade chocolate chip cookies, dinner for 4 served at your home, custom made crafts, services that their spouse/partner or friend could donate, babysitting, etc!

I work in a law firm. Total staff of about 35-40 people.

Thanks for the suggestions. We had thought of the good & services auction. Don't know if it'll be implemented though.

We've decided to go with a wine raffle. Firm is donating the wine (all priced over $30 bottle - granted we are in Canada where our liqour is about 3X the price of the US). Tickets are $20 each or 3 for $50. First prize will be a case of wine and subsequent prizes will be 2 bottles per winner.

Awesome idea!!
