Barter for bucks! This fundraiser works to provide folks with services they need in order to give children the playspace they need. Community members inform you of a service that can provide or need. Donors buy a service they need which is provided by a volunteer. Payment for the service is made to your playspace fund. For example, a community member donates their time to babysit on a Friday night. Another community member who needs a babysitter signs up for the service and pays for it by making a donation to the playspace. The amount of the donation depends on the service.
Prep Steps:
1. Recruit volunteers to donate their services (the GIVE) and list services that they need (the TAKE).
2. Post these on a bulletin board, on your Website, or include them in a weekly newsletter.
3. Determine the donation amount for each service or item that will go to the playspace project.
4. If an individual would like a service or item, or is willing to provide a service they can either contact each other or go through you.
5. Determine how donations will be collected.
6. Advertise you event.
