Unleash the creativity of your students and engage the entire school community with a Christmas fundraising artwork project. This fundraiser not only helps to raise significant funds but also fosters a sense of pride and belonging among your pupils.

Class Fundraising will then turn your artwork into a wide range of personalised Christmas gifts such as Christmas baubles, soft toys, Christmas cards, keyrings, mugs and so much more! Encourage parents to shop online where payments are securely taken and managed without having to worry or stress.

A well-organised Christmas fundraising project could raise up to £2500 for your PTA, School, Charity or project. Class Fundraising give you all the tools that you need to succeed and are there every step of the way guiding your fundraising journey.

One of the most popular and time-honoured Christmas fundraising ideas is the Christmas market or craft fair. These events offer a wonderful opportunity to showcase the creativity and talent of your school community, while also generating revenue for your PTA.

Begin by inviting students, parents, and local artisans to set up vendor booths and sell their handmade crafts, baked goods, holiday decorations, and other festive items. (Psst, this is a great way to sell your wonderful Christmas fundraising Self Portrait Tea Towels, Tote Bags or Aprons, thank us later!) Encourage participants to get into the holiday spirit by decorating their booths with twinkling lights, garlands, and other seasonal touches. You can even host a contest for the most festive and eye-catching display, with the winner receiving a prize or recognition.

To further enhance the experience, consider adding live music, carolling, or other entertainment to create a truly immersive and joyful atmosphere. Serve up hot chocolate, mulled wine, or other seasonal refreshments, and don't forget to have a dedicated area for gift-wrapping services, which can be an additional Christmas fundraising revenue stream for your PTA.

Christmas fundraising wouldn't be complete without the classic bake sale or cookie exchange. These sweet treats are always a hit with families, and they're relatively easy to organise with the help of your school community.

Encourage parents, teachers, and students to bake their favourite holiday-themed cookies, pies, bread, and other delectable treats, and then sell them at a centralised location, such as the school lobby or a local community centre. You can even offer pre-packaged cookie platters or tins for easy gift-giving.

For a unique twist, consider hosting a cookie exchange event, where participants bring a batch of their homemade cookies to swap with others. Attendees can then take home an assortment of different cookies, creating a fun and festive experience while also raising funds for your PTA.

Another fantastic way to bring the community together and achieve the Christmas fundraising goals for your PTA is by organising a festive movie night or holiday concert. These events not only generate revenue but also provide a wonderful opportunity for families to come together and enjoy the spirit of the season.

For a movie night, choose a classic holiday film or a family-friendly favourite, and transform your school's gymnasium or auditorium into a cosy, cinema-like setting. Sell tickets, popcorn, hot chocolate, and other concessions to boost your fundraising efforts. You can even encourage attendees to come in their pyjamas for a truly comfortable and casual experience.

Alternatively, showcase the musical talents of your school's students by hosting a holiday concert. Invite the school choir, band, and orchestra to perform a selection of festive tunes, and sell tickets to the event. You can also offer refreshments and holiday-themed merchandise for sale, giving your Christmas fundraising an extra boost.

Reach out to local businesses and explore opportunities for Christmas fundraising-related partnerships that can benefit both your PTA and the community. These collaborations can take many forms, from sponsorships and in-kind donations to joint promotional events and revenue-sharing arrangements.

For example, you could approach a local restaurant or bakery and offer to host a "give back" night, where a portion of the sales from a specific day or event are donated to your PTA. In return, the business can receive promotion and exposure through your marketing channels, strengthening its connection with the community.

Another idea is to partner with a local retailer or service provider to offer exclusive discounts or promotions to your school community. This not only generates Christmas fundraising revenue for your PTA but also encourages families to support local businesses during the Christmas fundraising season.

Christmas is a time when people are often eager to give back and contribute to their local community. Tap into this seasonal spirit of generosity by offering a variety of volunteer opportunities for your PTA's Christmas fundraising events.

From organising and setting up the Christmas market or craft fair to staffing the bake sale or holiday concert, there are countless ways for parents, teachers, and community members to get involved. Not only does this help to lighten the workload for your PTA organisers, but it also fosters a sense of ownership and investment in the success of your Christmas fundraising efforts.

Consider creating a volunteer sign-up system, either online or through a physical sign-up sheet, that allows individuals to select the tasks or roles that best suit their interests and availability.

Who will be crowned the best dressed this Christmas? A great way to lift those Christmas fundraising spirits is to get dressed up in your seasonal best and host a competition for the best-dressed Christmas fan! 

Encourage a £1 donation from each participant and have fun judging those festive creations! 

This would be a great addition to a Christmas Fundraising family fun day!

Let's get crafty with our Christmas fundraising efforts. Host an arts and crafts day where pupils can make an assortment of Christmas creations such as make your own stockings, Christmas crackers, bunting and more! 

This is a perfect way to incorporate your Christmas Fundraising Project with Class Fundraising. Have a focused day to complete your artwork designs whilst offering other activities to keep children engaged.
