1. Halloween Fundraising Idea 1: Pumpkin carving competition

To help keep the event as safe as possible, wash and thoroughly dry all of the tools you will provide to avoid slippage, and if you are hosting the competition at your school, make sure enough adults are present to supervise.
This can also be a perfect opportunity to invite parents and guardians along and get them involved in the fun!

Perfect for adults and children, this friendly competition gets your community involved in the most delicious way possible! Score on taste and spooky presentation.
For an added bonus – combine with a bake sale and make even more money for your cause!

Host a Halloween-themed get together or party and encourage your community to wear their spookiest or most creative outfits!
There are so many low-cost Halloween party games you can provide as well – from pumpkin golf, to Halloween bingo, to spooky ring toss, and more!
4. Halloween Fundraising Idea 4: Movie night
Decorate a hall or, if the weather is looking optimistic, use a projector and screen in an outdoor space and host a Halloween-themed movie night.
Encourage your community to bring the whole family along – just make sure the movies are family-friendly! Provide some spooky-themed snacks and drinks, or invite your guests to bring their own to keep the evening a little more covid-safe.
