What are some common fundraising ideas that parents and students have used to defray the cost of the trip?
Four of the most successful fundraising ideas that we have seen include: • The Power of 100: One parent asked 100 people (friends, relatives, neighbors, church members and teachers) for $15 each—less than the cost of two movie tickets. She had her daughter write a letter about why she wanted to go on the Black College Tour and mailed the letter with a picture of her daughter in the corner. The Power of 100 letters was so successful that she received over $1500. • Business Donations: Businesses are also willing to donate especially to non-profit organizations like EST because they know they can write off the donation. We have included samples of donation letters that you can help your child send under the link “For Students”. You should also consider sending them a Power of 100 letter that you create. • Talent Shows: Some high schools are willing to let students put on a talent show and charge for the price of admission as a fundraiser.
