I have started a coin club at my high school, and I need help coming up with fundraiser ideas. Not many people like the idea of me selling coins, for some reason. Any suggestions? If it's an official company helping, people will be more likely to help support.

So, what are the expenses associated with the club? Figure out what you need first, and then formulate a pan to get it.
Rest in Peace

Panhandling is the way to go.

Seriously, without knowing how much you need or what you need it for, it's hard to think of ways to raise money.

It's been a few years since I was in high school. At that time, we would hire out for odd jobs, have car washes, sell doughnuts, etc., to raise money for the clubs. See if the administration had any ideas.

I applaud your efforts to start the club and wish you success.

Edit: you could also look for local business sponsors.

A few thoughts:

Raffle with club keeping half the proceeds and having the rest as a prize for the lucky winner

What is the money for? What's the business plan?

When in school we used to collect bottles and use the money made from bottle bills. I do believe that that's not really a thing in the US of A? We've also done the regular car wash. And if it's school related, then the school was often able to facilitate some stuff as well (be it with a closed wallet often).
