Many ideas are tried and tested but the really great charity fundraisers come about when people try to think outside the box a little bit. Even if you can't come up with of a totally new fundraiser try to think how you might change or tweak an existing plan. How can you add some value?
A good way to start is by looking at your cause and having a brainstorming session around it. Use it as your central focus but then let your imagination run wild. You might be surprised with what you come up with. Even wild and wacky ideas can work if you can get enough people behind them.
