Novices should keep a few things in mind before deciding that careful research and planning will help make easy fundraisers easier. Be sure not to lay out a lot of cash up front. Fundraising can be done on the cheap if you're careful and willing to put in some extra effort.
I know that some schools have had video game competitions in the past, complete with homemade brownies and juice in order to raise money for class trips. You can learn a thing or two from this and adapt it as needed. For instance, let's say you are trying to raise funds for a sports trip. You might want to have a bench pressing competition. Friendly wagers certainly wouldn't be out of the realm of reason, and you could make the profits go toward your trip.
Raffles are another sort of old school idea that can be used today. Often you can get a local business to donate an item (they can write it off) that you can then raffle off for your chosen event. Bottom line: trade creativity to ensure your easy fundraisers remain easy.
