There are many other fundraisers that can raise limited funds and are not mentioned above. Some smaller fundraisers may include gym night, lock-ins, pledge drives, free-throw contests. These events wil likely not raise substantal funds but can be fun and rewarding. Small product fundraisers also exist such as penny drives, box tops, ink cartridge recycling and such. Generally these fundraisers can be worked on year-round.
Note that selling alcoholic beverages at any fundraiser is most likely illegal.
Grants are another way to raise funds. There is information available here.
