Valentines Day

A day of Love, Romance....... and Fundraising

Check out these great Valentine fundraising ideas and don't forget to tell us about your own.



Valentines Day falls on 14th February.

So what fundraisers will make your heart skip a beat? Here are some great valentine fundraising ideas to get you going.

On Valentine Day lovers traditionally exchange cards, gifts and other small tokens of their love and commitment to each other. These can be jokey or serious and there is lots of potential for charity fundraisers to muscle in on this market.

Sell Valentines Roses

Ever since medieval times the red rose has been the symbol of love the world over. Selling roses singly or by the dozen can therefore be a major earner on Valentines Day.

The difficulty is getting hold of them, as of course it is a major day for every florist and nursery in the country. If you can get hold of roses, and you will probably need to have made arrangements some time in advance, then you are pretty much guaranteed success.

Take orders in advance or sell them singly from a stall at the exit of your school or workplace. Alternatively have a table in the local shopping mall or high street.

You may also like to tour the local restaurants in the evening. Many couples will be out having a romantic dinner. Who better to help their candle-lit canoodling than you, by offering them (with the restaurant manager's permission) the chance to buy a red rose.

Another option is to team up with a local florist and suggest a donation to your group for every rose purchased as a marketing opportunity for them. In return you might like to offer your services on the day helping to deliver roses and other bunches of flowers. Valentines day is obviously a very busy 24hrs for florists so this offer may be quite attractive to an overworked flower seller. Get you deal set up well in advance however and don't let them down.

If real flowers are too difficult to organise there are also lots of rose related fundraising items that you could be selling: Wooden roses, chocolate roses, rose petal scents and bath oil etc.

Make and sell Valentine Cards

Someone we know who was good at calligraphy raised a lot of money by personalising cards. She took orders at her work in the 2 weeks before the 14th. Her fundraiser was really popular and people seemed to love the fact it was that bit different and helped a local good cause.

Bake some heart shaped cakes or biscuits and sell them at work or school.

Valentine Dinner Dance

How about a lunchtime Valentine meal followed by an afternoon tea dance for seniors. Or an evening young teen event.

One beach cafe in the South of England takes over the local seafront tram service renames it The Love Train and does a whole package evening including meal and transport on the train to the cafe for a brilliant and popular charity Valentine fundraiser.
