With THON less than three weeks away, it might feel like it’s too late to start fundraising. However, there are lots of things you can do to keep the donations coming in during these last few weeks. So, here are five easy ways to raise money for THON, as the best weekend of the year gets closer:
Â
1. Adwap
Adwap is probably the easiest online way to raise money for THON. All you do is sign up, choose THON as your charity, and watch ten quick advertisements a day – that’s it. Every time you watch an ad, the site donates the revenue to your cause. It’s not much, but if you do it every day for a few months, it’ll add up in no time.
Â
2. Donor Drive
It only takes a few minutes to set up a Donor Drive account and customize your profile. Once it’s ready, you can share it on social media or send the link in emails (which the website will write for you.) Then all you have to do is wait for the donations to come in.

3. Collect change
What could be easier? Pick out a cute mason jar (or literally anything that holds coins), add your spare change, and watch it pile up.
Â
4. Sell something
Fundraising.com specializes in items you can buy and resell to raise money. The lollipops are a popular item, but there are endless options for fundraisers. There are also a ton of websites where you can design bracelets, key chains, or any number of items to sell for your cause.

5. Host a bake sale
If you actually enjoy baking, then having a bake sale for a fundraiser is a piece of cake – pun intended. It shouldn’t be too hard to find a place to sell – local churches, JCCs and businesses will most likely let you set up outside their building. Even though it’s a little more time-consuming, a bake sale is still an easy way to make lots of money – and who can resist a table full of cupcakes?
The countdown to THON 2018 is on!
