Many fundraising opportunities exist beyond thetraditional bake sale or taco feed. A few fun andhealthy options that don’t involve food include:

School-sponsored groups can each have one exempt fundraiser per year during the school day on the school campus. Non schoolsponsored groups cannot have fundraisers involving unallowable foods during the school day.Each exempt fundraiser can only last for one day.Exempt fundraisers cannot be given to another group. If an organized group chooses not to have an exempt fundraiser, anothergroup cannot use that day.Food cannot be ordered for delivery during the school day as a fundraiser, unless that is the school-sponsored group’s exemptfundraiser. This would include any food ordered at any time and delivered to the student(s) during the school day.
