Well, in my opinion you first have to know what type of people you want to attract. If middle class familists are your choice you should settle for a fancy restaurant and maybe a local celebrity.
One can find some charity ideas when one goes to the websites of Operation Smile, Fund Scrip, WaterAid UK, Just Giving, Good People Fund, Cause Kids, etc.
A good website to search for unique fund raising ideas would be www.yahoo.awnsers.com. This is a website where people post a question and other people awnser back. Just go to the site, type in your question and get your results.

Yes, there are plenty of good sources of fund-raising themes out there. I would suggest going to your local public library and browsing through the magazine section to see what publications might be useful to you. Also an A-Z list of fund-raising ideas exists on a website out there somewhere. This type of list would be perfect for your situation to attract many people to support your cause and enjoy themselves at the same time.
There are many ways to fund-raise, it depends what you're fund-raising for. If you are fund-raising for a charity or a club then you are more likely to be able to fund-raise, however, if you are fund-raising for your piggy bank, then there are way less waysYou could:Have a stall with food and drink, old junk, sweets etc. etc.Pack bags at a supermarket (Good for clubs and youth groups...)Have competitions like 'How many sweets in a jar' or 'Chuck a ring on a stick' and other such stuff.Get your friends/family to sponsor you in things like sports, silences etc.
Writing good books and raising money for charity
One can get good ideas of charity presents by asking the charity or the donating company what kinds of presents that the charity would like. Some examples are usually quite basic such as clothes and toothbrushes.
car washes and school art sales are always good ideas for both adults and students to get involved in. These insure that money is raised and that a good time is had.

Yes because you are helping others who need the help
Its depends on YOUR country of origin as to whether a formal licence is required or not. In most cases fund raising is undertaken on behalf of a charity able organisation. The fund raisers would have to be registered with that charity so that fraudulent collections did not take place. Sadly there are some that pretend to be collecting for very good causes and end up funding their own ......... Contacting your local charities, they will be delighted to be able to provide the correct procedure and support you in any legal endeavours
The noun 'charity' is a singular, common, abstract noun; a word for good will toward others; the giving of aid to the poor and suffering; an organization or fund for aiding the needy; a word for a concept, a word for a thing.
