For some congregations, that philosophy is that youth will not raise funds. In a perfect world, we should all be so lucky. However, since fundraising is a reality for most youth ministries, it's important to have meaning behind the madness. One third of necessary funds comes from the congregation's budget, one third from the youth, and one third from group fundraisers. Be prepared to get permission from congregational leaders.
Some church councils frown on raffles, auctions or bingo.
Good fundraising is also good ministry. Leave that type of selling to schools and other organizations. If your fundraising philosophy includes selling products, as well as services, make sure that the product is something others want or need. More than one youth committee meeting has ended with a disagreement regarding how that money should be split and how youth should be paid. Develop your own method that pays attention to both fairness and grace.
