Fundraising with a Hay Ride Fundraiser

| September 20, 2013

Hosting a Hay Ride Fundraiser.

A hay ride fundraiser is a great idea for the autumn. Ideally, this fundraiser will be held at a farm, but it may also be held in any open green space, like a park. Hay rides attract lots of families, making it an ideal fundraiser idea for schools and groups where there are lots of children involved.

A hay ride fundraiser is a great centerpiece to a fall festival-type event, so you may opt to hold it alongside another event like a craft fair, a farmer’s market, an autumn bake sale, a petting zoo or an apple picking opportunity.

The costs of running a hay ride are minimal, as you’ll only need to pay to rent the hay ride equipment and driver.

A small family-owned farm that offers apple picking and pumpkin picking is ideal for a hay ride fundraiser. Many will host the hay ride service for free or for minimal charge, which allows your organization or group to benefit from a majority of the profits. In exchange, the farm will enjoy lots of business from the apple and pumpkin pickers. Some farms may also agree to donate a portion of all sales to your fundraiser too!
