Seed Money Ideas and Suggestions

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

Are you ready for the challenge?  Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Put the $5 in a container and add to it as you are able

Put the $5 in your Bible and pray about how God would have you to use it

Use your best Money Origami skills to create something creative with your $5 and sell it for $10, then use the $10 for another creation and sell it for $20, and so on

Use the $5 to pay for the cost of long-distance phone calls or postage expense to ask friends or family to give to the camp’s new bathrooms

Give a picture of you holding the $5 bill to everyone that donates to your cause

Buy some “Garage Sale” signs with the $5 and then sell everything you own, maybe even sell all your neighbors stuff too

Put the $5 in a container displayed prominently in your home or office and tell everyone who visits about how you are trying to grow the “seed money”

Use the $5 to pay for bottled water for your walk-a-thon, run-a-thon, or bike-a-thon and get people to sponsor you

See if someone will trade you $10 for the $5, and then $20 for the $10, and so on

Purchase and decorate some containers to be put in places of business to raise money for the camp’s new bathrooms

Use the $5 in a piece of artwork; use the cash from the sale in another artwork piece, and so on

Come on now, YOU are the creative one! Let’s see what YOU can think of.
