    October is usually a fun time of the year and could be a great time to raise money through Halloween fundraising ideas. So, if you have a commendable cause or non-profit that needs funds, buckle up for October 31st. 

    Here are the 20 best ways to raise funds for your non-profit this Halloween:

    1. Terrifying Trivia

    Organize a terrifying, spooky, friendly, and competitive trivia night for your donors. Divide the participants into teams and present treats to the team that wins the trivia and also to the team that raises the most money.  

    2. Peer-to-Peer Murder Mystery Experience  

    Create a Sherlock Holmes kind of murder mystery and invite your guests to unravel the case. Litter the event venue with mysterious and scary clues and challenge participants to find them. A memorable way for your donors and supporters to spend Halloween.   

    3. Halloween Decorating Contest

    This Halloween fundraising idea is best for non-profits whose supporters and donors cannot attend in person. Organize an online contest where homeowners submit pictures of their home Halloween decorations. The general public gets to pick the winner through an online poll.

    4. “Fright Night Flight Night”  

    It would be best to liaise with your local breweries and wineries to plan this Halloween fundraising idea successfully. Send the invites through online channels and noise it via social media. The money starts coming in right from the registration step as you remind people on the digital flyer to donate to your non-profit.

    5. Fall Carnival

    A fall carnival could be a grand event to cover other miniature Halloween fundraiser efforts. If possible, approach local businesses to help make the carnival more exciting and colorful.

    6. Haunted Hike

    This Halloween fundraising idea would be perfect for locales with legends of haunted trails. Ask a volunteer familiar with the trail to take participants on a nighttime hike through the haunted trail. Alternatively, turn a regular trial into a haunted one by decorating it for that purpose.   

    7. “Monsters and Goblins” 5K

    “Monsters and Goblins” 5K is usually an exciting way to host a fundraiser. Make it even more fun by encouraging donors and participants to enlist family and friends as cheermates during the race. Gamifying the fundraiser is likely to make participants donate more.

    8. Pumpkin Carving Party 

    Pumpkin lanterns are the longstanding trademarks of Halloween. So, having a pumpkin carving party will get donors to participate actively and excitedly at your fundraiser. Just remember to stock up on pumpkins and carving tools.

    9. Ghost Story Contest  

    As part of the buildup to your fundraiser, send out a notice to your potential donors and participants. The call should require each participant to share their scariest Halloween stories. Independent judges should vote for the scariest stories and have a fireside reading on the night of Halloween.

    10. Haunted House Fundraiser  

    Constructing a haunted house from the bottom up could turn out to be expensive and too much of a hassle. So, you could liaise with a local haunted house operator for your event. Whatever option you choose, self-setup or local haunted house, only ensure it’s cost-effective.  

    11. Spooky Scavenger Hunt 

    You can get donors and participants of your non-profit fundraiser active by organizing a scavenger hunt. You can make the hunt physical if all your participants are in the same locale. However, a hybrid or fully virtual scavenger hunt might be imminent if your donors are geographically disjointed.

    12. Trick-or-Treat Buckets With Donate QR Code

    Looking for an easy way to raise funds for your non-profit? Generate a QR code that takes people to your organization’s donation page. Print the QR code on stickers and mail them to your supporters with instructions. All the volunteers need to do is place the QR stickers on their kids’ trick-or-treat buckets while on their run for Halloween candies.

    13. “Witches’ Night Out” Dance Party

    This fundraiser idea is super easy to organize. With a mystery brew of cocktails and some broomsticks, you are good to go. However, ensure to send out invites early enough so donors can quickly stop at your event on Halloween night. Also, make the channels of donation hybrid for the sake of virtual donors.

    14. “Monsters’ Ball” Auction 

    Auctions are attention grabbers. So, what better way to call attention to your non-profit than this? At the monster ball auction, make sure that you also make regular auction items available besides the themed baskets. Place photos of the most attractive items on your publicity flyers if possible. Also, you could treat participants by making it look like a Halloween candy fundraiser.

    15. Halloween Costume Contest

    What’s Halloween without the weird and spooky costumes? Invite supporters of your non-profit to a Halloween costume contest. Encourage participants to come with their fully-costumed kids and animal pets, even better if the pets are exotic.

    16. Pumpkins and Similar Halloween Decor Sales 

    Since farmers also look forward to making some money through pumpkin sales, it is usually advisable to prepare for this fundraiser idea early. Approach a farmer to place a bulk order for pumpkins; you may even request that they donate some to your cause. Make the decor and pumpkin sale as fun as possible during the grand event by involving volunteers.

    17. “Trunk-or-Treat” Fundraiser

    This idea is perfect for areas where kids are not too safe to go around “trick-or-treating.” So, you could look for a parking lot to host your fundraiser. Also, partnering with car dealerships would save a lot of costs. Now, invite donors and participants to decorate their car trunks before coming to the event.

    18. Halloween Movie Night

    You could hold this event outdoors. Look for the most spooky horror movies and project them on large outdoor screens. Also, don’t forget to prepare goodie bags for the Halloween movie night, which makes the attendee experience memorable.

    19. Halloween Bake Sale

    This idea would work well for organizations with a large supporter base. Simply encourage these supporters to bake Halloween-themed cakes and cupcakes. A bake sale of these sweet items in homes, workplaces, and communities should aid the cause. Also, you could add the spice of an online Halloween baking class for virtual participants. 

    20. Halloween Fun Run 

    Contact your local council, informing them of an upcoming Halloween fun run at the local park. Once you have the green light of the authorities, publicize the event. Finally, ask participants to pay an entrance fee, as a donation to the non-profit.

    There you have it! Get planning, and we wish you luck with that fundraising.
