You can pull in some easy cash for your charity with a Krispy Kreme donut fundraiser. One of the easiest ways to raise money is to sell donuts at your workplace. (Be sure to request permission from the employer before proceeding.)

If there is no Krispy Kreme store near you, just go to the best local donut shop. Ask if they will give you a reduced price on several dozen donuts.

When I was raising money for the Leukemia Society, I brought in a few dozen donuts from Krispy Kreme to work and just left them in the break room. On the honor system, people put one dollar (or more) in a jar for each donut.

I put up flyers around the office a few days before too. The first day I did this I only brought two dozen donuts and they were gone in like 5 minutes! The next time I brought in five dozen and they too sold like crazy.

When you do this be sure to include in all flyers what the the suggested donation per donut is (such as $1) and charity / cause it benefits.

If you have a Krispy Kreme donut shop near you, they also offer several other fundraisers. Your group can sell gift certificates or partnership cards. You could even do all three fundraisers at the same time! Visit the Krispy Kreme webiste to find out more about the fundraising programs and locate a store near you: Krispyreme.com

If you do this breakfast fundraiser once a week for several weeks in a row you can switch up the breakfast menu. Maybe one week do bagels and cream cheese instead. This way you can cater to those who prefer healthier choices (or even more rich with pastries!)

While this is not a blockbuster fundraiser, it is quite easy because all you have to do is pick up the donuts (or cards) ahead of time and collect money afterward. It works especially well in the workplace (if allowed), clubs or before meetings.
