Prom Fundraising & Ideas
Prom is an exciting time for many students and teachers alike.
As a reward for an excellent year of work and a chance to socialize with classmates, having the best prom possible is something many schools want to provide. So whether you’re planning on hosting multiple proms this year to make up for a missed time in the past two years or simply looking to fundraise to make prom as incredible as possible, Classful can help.
As an educational donation platform, we know there’s far more to education than just the basic lessons students attend. Prom is a part of the school experience. Classful can help make your ideas a reality with targeted, effective prom fundraising that can reach the right communities far more easily than a traditional campaign ever could.

Why fundraise for prom?
With many schools having less funding than ever, affording prom can be challenging. Raising funds and donations from the local community and parents, as well as through prom tickets, can be an excellent way to ensure prom is as good as it can be. Using Classful, you can quickly and easily create an online donations page for an upcoming event like a prom. Create your campaign, put it live, and anyone can donate directly online to help make prom as incredible as possible.
Prom fundraising ideas
Not quite sure what you need to raise to make prom amazing? Here are just a few prom fundraising ideas to get you started:
Fund decorations and committee activities
Much of the cost of prom goes into the hire or purchase of decorations and similar committee activities. Many schools may fundraise directly with students to raise money for decorations, posters, and more. Opting for an online donation platform can help make it easier to raise donations from outside sources such as local businesses, parents, and the wider community.
Provide prizes and awards for prom
Not every school hosts a prom king and queen specifically, but that doesn’t mean prom should pass without a single award or prize. Whether it’s a raffle prize system or best dressed, fundraising can help cover the costs of crowns, gift cards, or any other kind of reward you may want to offer to winners. Fundraising online allows you to get donations from local companies through sponsorships quickly and easily.
Offer support for students from low-income families
Not every student can afford to purchase or hire for prom. Providing support or vouchers to help students who may otherwise be unable to go to prom is a worthwhile purpose for donations, whether paying for a suit or dress, hiring from a local company, or just covering the cost of prom tickets, allowing everyone to enjoy prom is possible with the proper donation method.
Fund entertainment and food services
Booking a band or hiring a DJ can be a considerable cost, even at a discounted rate for schools. As such, it’s a good amount of money to define in an online fundraiser. Students and the community will be able to see how much of their entertainment is already paid for and how much is not yet covered, spurring more donations. Whether you’re going all-out or want to hire a great speaker system, a fundraiser can help make it happen.
Hire a photographer or photo booth
Providing a photobooth or dedicated photographer for long-lasting memories is a must for prom. Fundraising can provide you with the money needed to hire a specialist photographer or a photo booth to ensure students have memories they can keep forever once prom is over. Not to mention, those photos can also potentially be repurposed for the yearbook later.
Support a charitable cause as part of the prom
If you don’t need additional funding to make your prom special, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t raise donations for a good cause. Whether there’s a local charity you are passionate about or you’d like to fund new technology and resources for the school, holding a fundraiser in the spirit of prom can be an excellent way to raise much-needed cash.
