This article is about how you can raise money for your work.
Participant fee
What is rather uncommon in the Jungschar (except for camps), is nothing unusual in similar children's and youth work: Participant fees, which are collected e.g. per year, can bear a good share of the costs incurred. Furthermore, we also give the parents the opportunity to contribute their share. Experience shows that many even welcome this!
If a somewhat higher participation fee is to be set, it may make sense to lower the fee for socially weaker children or to exempt them from paying.
Contributions of the parish
In the Jungschar work very üblich are grants or budgets of the örtlichen parish, which supports the Jungschararbeit.
Donations
Often there are parents, parishioners and other people who would like to support the Jungschar work. This can be a cake for a snack but also a one-time or regular donation. The key here is to create these opportunities for participation. Not everyone who would like to participate will say so of their own accord. But if you create this possibility and communicate it, then often one or the other will use it
Sales actions - participation or organization
Besides the participation e.g. at Christmas markets with the sale of self-made things, there is also the possibility to organize e.g. flea markets and to work out some money over the taken stand fees.
Sponsor Run
Furthermore, there is also the possibility of a sponsored run.
In Switzerland: Grants for tent camps
