Top ideas from the SHRM Foundation team 1. Ask the speakers if they will donate their time and instead make the donation out to the SHRM Foundation 2. Host a Rags to Riches Sale and ask attendees to bring items they are looking to get rid of or sell vintage state council gear 3. Ask the venue if they will give you discounted drink tickets that you can sell to attendees and the profit will go towards your donation to the SHRM Foundation Resources at shrmfoundation.org, click Volunteer Resources Overview, visit the Fundraising Innovation Station Fundraising

Final Thought from a Scholarship Recipient “Unless you are independently wealthy, a crucial step in getting through college is having the money to do so, which is why I applied for a SHRM Foundation scholarship. This has definitely been an obstacle for me as I have pursue my educational goals. Not only was I a full time student, but I also worked full time between my internship and part time job. I am beyond grateful for receiving a SHRM Foundation scholarship. I know first hand that when I had a question, anyone on staff at the SHRM Foundation was willing to help.
